    Creator:
    Asante, Emmanuel
    Abstract:
    Methods that are applied to smooth distribution functions are useful in many applications. Areas of application include economics, financial markets and survival analysis. The empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) is unbiased and its asymptotic distribution is normal. However, the jump discontinuities of $\frac{1}{n}$ are undesirable in estimation because it makes...
