@Osama A6 The dempirical command is still usable. We removed several different empirical functions from the list of statistical distributions in drop downs and replaced them with the Empirical Distribution tool (see Joerg's answer) which can do all the other empirical distributions and is easier to use.

There is a tool in Toolbox which assists you to create any kind of an empirical distribution. Even a dempirical. Later in a picklist option you can select your created dempirical distribution by name. If your discrete values aren’t even distributed than you activate weighted. The result is a second column for weighted values which you sum up to 100 percent.
