*DATASET ECDF CALCULATOR*
=========================

Computes the Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (ECDF) for one or more numeric columns in a dataset. Use this worker to transform raw data into cumulative probability distributions for statistical analysis or visualization.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``cumulative_distribution``, ``distribution``, ``ecdf``, ``empirical_cdf``, ``statistics``.
