The Takacs--Fiksel method is a general approach to estimate the parameters of spatial Gibbs point process. This embraces standard procedures such as pseudolikelihood and defined via weight functions. In this paper we propose procedure find functions which reduce Godambe information thus outperform in certain situations. new applied dataset recent neuroscience replicated pattern dataset. Finally, performance investigated simulation study.
