You need to execute "library(stepfun)" before help for ecdf will work.

In general, the notation is

topic(package)  Description

and you need library(package) to see ?topic.

indeed! {causing half a dozen e-mails to more than 2000 people ...}

Note that you woldn't have found them with  
help.search(..) if they hadn't been installed in your R setup, i.e.

**>> you NEVER must install anything after having found it by help.search()!

OK,

I see what i did  i though stepfun and ts are two packages on 
CRAN - i didn't realized they are libraries already "installed" under 
R  now i found them  mea culpa!

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

the packages i mentioned are not in the list of packages from 
CRAN even if they appear in the help i just mention an email later 
about cumulative distribution functions. they are "stepfun" and "ts". 
Maybe that helps to clarify my question - in the sense that i know 
how to look after packages on CRAN and how to install them.

Thanks,

Monica

[R] cumulative distribution functions

2003-11-17 Thread Monica Palaseanu-Lovejoy
hi y'all,

I am wondering if there is any special command, function, 
package, etc to help me doing a cumulative distribution function, 
with y-scale - probability scale.

I tried the help in R and i got the following answers:
cumsum(base)Cumulative Sums, Products, and Extremes
ecdf(stepfun)   Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function
cpgram(ts)  Plot Cumulative Periodogram

But i could not find either (stepfun) nor (ts) packages to read the 
specific help. Are they discarded? The "cumsum" seems not to do 
what i really was after.

Any help as usual very much appreciated ;-)

Monica
