        @brief Histogram density estimator for weighted samples

        The histogram density estimator returns a histogram of the sample distribution. The positions and sizes of the bins
        are determined using a specifiable number of cached samples (cache_size). The range between the minimum and the
        maximum of the cached samples is subdivided into a specifiable number of bins (num_bins) of same size. Additionally,
        an under- and an overflow bin is added to capture future under- and overflow samples. Once the bins are determined,
        the cached samples and all subsequent samples are added to the correct bins. At the end, a range of std::pair is
        returned, where each pair contains the position of the bin (lower bound) and the sum of the weights (normalized with the
        sum of all weights).

        @param density_cache_size Number of first samples used to determine min and max.
        @param density_num_bins Number of bins (two additional bins collect under- and overflow samples).
