        @brief Tail quantile estimation based on order statistics (for both left and right tails)

        The estimation of a tail quantile \f$\hat{q}\f$ with level \f$\alpha\f$ based on order statistics 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,
        \f$n\f$ being the total number of samples. The largest of the \f$\lceil n\alpha\rceil\f$ smallest samples or the
        smallest of the \f$\lceil n(1-\alpha)\rceil\f$ largest samples provides an estimate for the quantile:

        \f[
            \hat{q}_{n,\alpha} = X_{\lceil \alpha n \rceil:n}
        \f]
