Detailed Description

This is a concrete derived type whose instances are exclusively used to signify the aweight type of sample weights.

Precision (or Analytic) weights are weights that are inversely proportional to the variance of an observation.
The variance of the \(i\)th observation is assumed to be \(\sigma^2/w_i\).
Typically, the observations represent averages and the weights are the number of elements that gave rise to the average.
Objects instantiated from this derived type are exclusively used to differentiate the procedures within the various generic interfaces of the ParaMonte library.
As such, this concrete derived type does not contain any attributes.

Note
This concrete derived type is not meant to be directly accessed by the end users.
Instead, the end users should use the specific object parameter instance of this derived type (e.g., aweight as directed by the documentation of the specific procedure they intend to use.
