I wouldn't investigate too much the density in 10.x since the formula has changed (to a very intuitive one) in 11gR1:

so, the 10.x formula has been "deprecated" by the kernel developers.

I did find a statistical justification for the 10.x computation, but I have never "published" it for the above reasons, it is no longer important.
