[R] ECDF, distribution of Pareto, distribution of Normal

[livia]

Thank you very much for your reply. I am afraid I have no idea what is wrong
with the pgpg function. The parameters are generated from pre-fitted GPD
distribution. 1.544 is the location parameter, 0.4373 is the scale parameter
and -0.2398 is the shape parameter.

Cound you please give me some hint?
