    /**
        @brief Histogram calculation of the cumulative distribution with the \f$P^2\f$ algorithm for weighted samples

        A histogram of the sample cumulative distribution is computed dynamically without storing samples
        based on the \f$ P^2 \f$ algorithm for weighted samples. The returned histogram has a specifiable
        amount (num_cells) equiprobable (and not equal-sized) cells.

        Note that applying importance sampling results in regions to be more and other regions to be less
        accurately estimated than without importance sampling, i.e., with unweighted samples.

        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.
