The nominal value is 2.6, but it does vary and it has been much lower
during fireball outbursts.  In global analyses, r is determined from the
observed magnitude distribution during a given time interval.

A table of the parameters of IMO standard showers, including the
population index r, can be found at http://www.imodot net/calendar/cal99.html,
but the IMO Web site been inaccessible for at least the last couple of
days.
