Here is a (bad) bug involving EmpriicalDistribution:
PDF[EmpiricalDistribution[{1}], 1]
produces error messages and returns
Boole[{1}[[GeometricFunctions`BinarySearch[{{1}, "Sorted"}, 1]]] ==
1] {1}[[GeometricFunctions`BinarySearch[{{1}, "Sorted"}, 1]]]
Here is an (awkward) workaround:
PDF[EmpiricalDistribution[{1}], x] /. x -> 1
which returns 1.
I have submitted this to support at wolfram.com, but I'm hoping someone
lurking from wolfram will look into this and figure out a code patch
that can be applied right away. Thanks.
