NearestNeighborG as the CDF of nearest neighbor distribution can be used to compute the mean distance between a typical point and its nearest neighbor - the mean of a positive support distribution can be approximated via a Riemann sum of 1- CDF. To use Riemann approximation create the partition of the support interval from 0 to maxR into 100 parts and compute the value of the NearestNeighborG at the middle of each subinterval:
