Jay created MATH-1431:
-------------------------

             Summary: EmpiricalDistribution cumulativeProbability can return 
NaN when evaluated within an empty bin.
                 Key: MATH-1431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1431
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.6.1
            Reporter: Jay


The NaN can be reproduced by the following program. Evaluating at x = 0.3, it 
appeared that getkernel returned a NormalDistribution with mean of NaN and 
standardDeviation of NaN.

    final int len = 240000;
    double[] data = new double[len];
    for (int i = 0; i < len / 2; ++i) {
        data[i] = 0;
    }
    for (int i = len / 2 + 1; i < len ; ++i) {
        data[i] = 1;
    }

    int binCnt = Math.max(1, data.length / 10);
    EmpiricalDistribution edist = new EmpiricalDistribution(binCnt);
    edist.load(data);
    double x = 0.3;
    double y = edist.cumulativeProbability(x);
    System.out.println("y is " + y);
