AW: estimating number of clusters ("Null or more")
.... Indeed BIC is based
on likelihood, and what the likelihood should be if the only
adequate statement about the destribution is the ECDF itself?..

I am not looking for the Holy Grail, or I hope so :-)
In particular, I beleive some entropy-based criteria should
fully satisfy me here. BIC might be also good if it might be
applied to a ECDF.
