R help - Jul 2007 - Fraction ECDF

Hi all,

I would like to plot part of the emperical CDF. Suppose the variable is x, I
just need the part when x>1,therefore, I am using the following codes. 

tail <- x>1
plot(ecdf(x[tail]), do.points=FALSE, verticals=TRUE)

The "x" value starts from 1, but the yaxs still begins from 0, not the
corresponding value when "x" is 1. How can I make it match?

Could anyone give me some advice? Many thanks.

Rather than subsetting the x, I'd just use xlim and ylim arguments to 
plot() to change the range.  For example,

plot(ecdf(x), do.points=FALSE, verticals=TRUE, xlim=c(1, max(x)), 
ylim=c(1-sum(x>1)/length(x), 1))
