intECDFfn: Gives the Integrated Empirical Distribution Function

In logcondens.mode: Compute MLE of Log-Concave Density on R with Fixed Mode, and Perform Inference for the Mode.

Description

Like intECDF, except returns a function \bar I instead of a value. The function \bar I(l,r) is given by

\bar{I}(l,r) = \int_{l}^{r} \bar{F}(u) du

where \bar F is the empirical distribution function of x_1,…,x_m. Note that l and r must lie in [x_1,x_m].

For an exact formula related to \bar{I}, see intECDF.

Usage

intECDFfn(x)

Arguments

x	Vector x = (x_1, …, x_m) of original observations, which are used to define the empirical CDF, \bar{F}.

Value

The function \bar I.

Examples

set.seed(100)
xx <- runif(50) ## min .056, max .88

myIntECDF <- intECDFfn(xx);
evalpts <- c(.3, .5) ## lie within [ min(xx) , max(xx) ]
myIntECDF(evalpts)
## equal to
intECDF(evalpts, xx)
