    Description

      The class Percentile only support estimation on non-weighted samples.

      I've implement some function to estimate percentiles of weighted samples.

      here is the reference: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/13169/defining-quantiles-over-a-weighted-sample

       

      When all weights are equal to each other, it works like estimation on non-weighted samples under R-7.

      I can't find formulas for other rules but at least, now it can evaluate percentile for weighted samples.
