        @brief Estimation of the (non-coherent) tail mean based on order statistics (for both left and right tails)

        An estimation of the non-coherent tail mean \f$\widehat{NCTM}_{n,\alpha}(X)\f$ is given by the mean of the
        \f$\lceil n\alpha\rceil\f$ smallest samples (left tail) or the mean of the  \f$\lceil n(1-\alpha)\rceil\f$
        largest samples (right tail), \f$n\f$ being the total number of samples and \f$\alpha\f$ the quantile level:

        \f[
            \widehat{NCTM}_{n,\alpha}^{\mathrm{right}}(X) = \frac{1}{\lceil n(1-\alpha)\rceil} \sum_{i=\lceil \alpha n \rceil}^n X_{i:n}
        \f]

        \f[
            \widehat{NCTM}_{n,\alpha}^{\mathrm{left}}(X) = \frac{1}{\lceil n\alpha\rceil} \sum_{i=1}^{\lceil \alpha n \rceil} X_{i:n}
        \f]

        It thus requires the caching of at least the \f$\lceil n\alpha\rceil\f$ smallest or the \f$\lceil n(1-\alpha)\rceil\f$
        largest samples.
