        @brief Weighted Covariance Estimator

        An iterative Monte Carlo estimator for the weighted covariance \f$\mathrm{Cov}(X,X')\f$, where \f$X\f$ is a sample
        and \f$X'\f$ a variate, is given by:

        \f[
            \hat{c}_n = \frac{\bar{w}_n-w_n}{\bar{w}_n} \hat{c}_{n-1} + \frac{w_n}{\bar{w}_n-w_n}(X_n - \hat{\mu}_n)(X_n' - \hat{\mu}_n'),
            \quad n\ge2,\quad\hat{c}_1 = 0,
        \f]

        \f$\hat{\mu}_n\f$ and \f$\hat{\mu}_n'\f$ being the weighted means of the samples and variates and
        \f$\bar{w}_n\f$ the sum of the \f$n\f$ first weights \f$w_i\f$.
