/// Compute the effective sample size (ESS) of a weighted sample set.
///
/// # Description
///
/// Computes the effective sample size (ESS) of a weighted sample set. Only the
/// weights of the associated sample set are needed. The ESS is defined as:
///
/// ```text
/// ESS = (Σ wᵢ)² / Σ (wᵢ²)
/// ```
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `weights`: A slice of non-negative weights where each element represents
/// the weight of an associated sample.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// * `f64`: The effective number of independent samples.
