\title{Computes the Integrated Empirical Distribution Function at Arbitrary Real Numbers in s}
\description{Computes the value of
\deqn{\bar{I}(t) = \int_{x_1}^t \bar{F}(r) d \, r}{\bar{I}(t) = \int_{x_1}^t \bar{F}(r) dr}
where \eqn{\bar F} is the empirical distribution function of \eqn{x_1,\ldots,x_m}, at all real numbers \eqn{t} in the
vector \eqn{\bold{s}}{s}. Note that \eqn{t} (so all elements in \eqn{\bold{s}}{s}) must lie in \eqn{[x_1,x_m]}.
The exact formula for \eqn{\bar I(t)} is
\deqn{\bar I(t) = \Big(\sum_{i=2}^{i_0}(x_i-x_{i-1})\frac{i-1}{n} \Big) + (t-x_{i_0})\frac{i_0-1}{n}}{\bar I(t) = (\sum_{i=2}^{i_0}(x_i-x_{i-1}) (i-1)/n) + (t-x_{i_0})(i_0-1)/n}
where \eqn{i_0 = \max_{i=1,\ldots,m} \{x_i \le t\}}{i_0 = \max_{i=1,\ldots, m}{x_i \le t}}.
}
\usage{intECDF(s, x)}
\arguments{
\item{s}{Vector of real numbers in \eqn{[x_1,x_m]} where \eqn{\bar{I}} should be evaluated at.}
\item{x}{Vector \eqn{{\bold{x}} = (x_1, \ldots, x_m)}{x = (x_1, \ldots, x_m)} of original observations.}
}
\value{Vector of the same length as \eqn{\bold{s}}{s}, containing the values of \eqn{\bar I} at the elements of \eqn{\bold{s}}{s}.}

This function together with \code{\link{intF}} can be used to check the characterization of the log-concave density
estimator in terms of distribution functions, see Rufibach (2006) and Duembgen and Rufibach (2009).
