        The ecdf plot can be thought of as a cumulative histogram with one bin
        per data entry; i.e. it reports on the entire dataset without any
        arbitrary binning.

        If *x* contains NaNs or masked entries, either remove them first from
        the array (if they should not taken into account), or replace them by
        -inf or +inf (if they should be sorted at the beginning or the end of
        the array).
