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

        An estimator \f$\hat{q}\f$ of tail quantiles with level \f$\alpha\f$ based on order statistics
        \f$X_{1:n} \leq X_{2:n} \leq\dots\leq X_{n:n}\f$ of weighted samples are given by \f$X_{\lambda:n}\f$ (left tail)
        and \f$X_{\rho:n}\f$ (right tail), where

            \f[
                \lambda = \inf\left\{ l \left| \frac{1}{\bar{w}_n}\sum_{i=1}^{l} w_i \geq \alpha \right. \right\}
            \f]

        and

            \f[
                \rho = \sup\left\{ r \left| \frac{1}{\bar{w}_n}\sum_{i=r}^{n} w_i \geq (1 - \alpha) \right. \right\},
            \f]

        \f$n\f$ being the number of samples and \f$\bar{w}_n\f$ the sum of all weights.
