/**
@brief Single quantile estimation with the \f$P^2\f$ algorithm
The \f$P^2\f$ algorithm estimates a quantile dynamically without storing samples. Instead of
storing the whole sample cumulative distribution, only five points (markers) are stored. The heights
of these markers are the minimum and the maximum of the samples and the current estimates of the
\f$(p/2)\f$-, \f$p\f$- and \f$(1+p)/2\f$-quantiles. Their positions are equal to the number
of samples that are smaller or equal to the markers. Each time a new samples is recorded, the
positions of the markers are updated and if necessary their heights are adjusted using a piecewise-
parabolic formula.
For further details, see
R. Jain and I. Chlamtac, The P^2 algorithm for dynamic calculation of quantiles and
histograms without storing observations, Communications of the ACM,
Volume 28 (October), Number 10, 1985, p. 1076-1085.
