It looks like you are using a license server, and that all the licenses for the statistics toolbox are in use ( ecdf() is a function in that toolbox).

Find out who in your department is using it, unplug their computer and try again.

In all seriousness, you could ask IT to get more licenses, or you wait until one is freed up, or you could write your own version of ecdf(), or you could look in the file exchange to see if someone has already done that.

Check if you are able to run any basic function from Statistics_Toolbox in the command window first.

If you get the same error it is due to unavailablility of spare licenses on the server.
