Usage

## S3 method for class 'empirical_dist'
inv_cdf(x, ...)

Arguments

x	The empirical distribution object.
...	Additional arguments (not used).

A function that accepts a vector of probabilities p and returns the corresponding quantiles.

Examples

ed <- empirical_dist(c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
qf <- inv_cdf(ed)
