//! Pareto-smoothed importance-sampling utilities.
//!
//! The implementation is intentionally self-contained: it estimates the
//! generalized-Pareto tail shape `k` from the largest positive weights and
//! replaces only that empirical tail by monotone GPD expected quantiles.  The
//! returned `k_hat` has the usual GPD tail interpretation: values near zero
//! indicate light tails, `k > 0.5` indicates that the fitted tail has infinite
//! variance, and larger values mark increasingly unstable upper tails. Consumers
//! decide whether that tail is a draw-wise PSIS reliability diagnostic or another
//! influence diagnostic based on what the supplied weights represent.
//!
//! The shape is recovered with the Zhang–Stephens (2009) empirical-Bayes
//! profile estimator — the same GPD tail fit used by `loo`/ArviZ for draw-wise
//! PSIS diagnostics.
//! Crucially it is consistent across the entire `k ∈ (−∞, ∞)` range, including
//! the dangerous `k ≥ 0.5` regime where the GPD variance is infinite and the
//! older method-of-moments form `k = ½(1 − μ²/Var)` is structurally capped
//! below `0.5` and so cannot fire a heavy-tail gate.
