No, no, the name is OK. The purpose of the EmpiricalDistribution is quite obvious and it really describes EDF. Now I have clear view what is EmpiricalDistribution for and, what even more important, what is it *not* for. I will patch EmpiricalDistribution with the load(double[]) method soon (such initialization would be quite usefull regardless of bootstrap, etc.) Piotr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
