 * Implementation of a quantile estimator.
 * 
 * The quantile is linearly interpolated between two sample values.
 * The probability dimension on which the interpolation take place (X axis) is the ratio of the sample index and the
 * number of elements in the sample ( pi = i / n). For each probability
 * pi, the distribution value is the sample value with same index.
 * The index used above are the Java index plus 1.
