Add Tukey's Biweight and WMAPE implementations with comprehensive tests and documentation

- Introduced Tukey's Biweight as a robust loss function, including mathematical foundation, usage patterns, and performance profile. - Added WMAPE (Weighted Mean Absolute Percentage Error) implementation, emphasizing its advantages for intermittent demand forecasting. - Created unit tests for WMAPE covering various scenarios including edge cases and batch calculations. - Documented both Tukey's Biweight and WMAPE with detailed explanations, properties, and common use cases.

+# WMAPE: Weighted Mean Absolute Percentage Error
+
+> "When not all errors are created equal, weight them by what matters."
+
+Weighted Mean Absolute Percentage Error (WMAPE) adjusts MAPE by weighting each error by the magnitude of the actual value. This produces a single, interpretable percentage that represents overall accuracy weighted by importance.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+WMAPE emerged from retail and supply chain forecasting where aggregate accuracy matters more than individual item accuracy. A 10% error on a high-volume product impacts business more than the same percentage error on a low-volume item. WMAPE naturally captures this by summing absolute errors before dividing by summed actuals.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+WMAPE accumulates both absolute errors and actual values, then computes their ratio. This approach means larger actual values contribute proportionally more to the final metric, providing a volume-weighted view of accuracy.
+
+### Properties
+
+- **Volume-weighted**: High-value items contribute more to the metric
+- **Scale-independent**: Result is always a percentage
+- **Non-negative**: WMAPE ≥ 0, with 0 indicating perfect prediction
+- **Aggregate interpretation**: Represents total error as percentage of total actual
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### 1. Weighted Error Accumulation
+
+Sum absolute errors and actual values separately:
+
+$$\text{Total Error} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i - \hat{y}_i|$$
+
+$$\text{Total Actual} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i|$$
+
+### 2. WMAPE Calculation
+
+Divide total error by total actual:
+
+$$WMAPE = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i - \hat{y}_i|}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i|} \times 100$$
+
+### 3. Running Update (O(1))
+
+QuanTAlib maintains two running sums for O(1) updates:
+
+$$S_{err,new} = S_{err,old} - e_{oldest} + e_{newest}$$
+
+$$S_{act,new} = S_{act,old} - a_{oldest} + a_{newest}$$
+
+$$WMAPE = \frac{S_{err,new}}{S_{act,new}} \times 100$$
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Usage Patterns
+
+```csharp
+// Streaming mode - update with each new observation
+var wmape = new Wmape(period: 20);
+var result = wmape.Update(actualValue, predictedValue);
+
+// Batch mode - calculate for entire series
+var results = Wmape.Calculate(actualSeries, predictedSeries, period: 20);
+
+// Span mode - zero-allocation for high performance
+Wmape.Batch(actualSpan, predictedSpan, outputSpan, period: 20);
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **period** | int | Lookback window for calculation (must be > 0) |
+
+### Properties
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Last** | TValue | Most recent WMAPE value (in percentage) |
+| **IsHot** | bool | True when buffer is full |
+| **Name** | string | Indicator name (e.g., "Wmape(20)") |
+| **WarmupPeriod** | int | Number of periods before valid output |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Throughput** | ~12 ns/bar | O(1) update complexity |
+| **Allocations** | 0 | Uses pre-allocated ring buffers |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time per update |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact calculation |
+| **Timeliness** | 9/10 | No lag beyond the period |
+| **Interpretability** | 10/10 | Clear business meaning |
+
+## Interpretation
+
+| WMAPE Range | Interpretation |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **0%** | Perfect prediction |
+| **0-5%** | Excellent (total error < 5% of total actual) |
+| **5-15%** | Good aggregate accuracy |
+| **15-30%** | Moderate accuracy |
+| **> 30%** | Poor aggregate accuracy |
+
+## Comparison with MAPE
+
+| Aspect | MAPE | WMAPE |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Weighting** | Equal weights | Weighted by actual value |
+| **High-value items** | Same as low-value | More influential |
+| **Business interpretation** | Average % error | Total % of total |
+| **Aggregation** | Mean of percentages | Ratio of totals |
+
+### Numerical Example
+
+| Actual | Predicted | MAPE Term | WMAPE Contribution |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| 100 | 90 | 10% | Error: 10, Actual: 100 |
+| 10 | 5 | 50% | Error: 5, Actual: 10 |
+| **MAPE** | **30%** | (10+50)/2 | |
+| **WMAPE** | **13.6%** | | 15/110 |
+
+WMAPE gives less weight to the small-volume item with high percentage error.
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+1. **Retail Demand Planning**: Aggregate accuracy across product portfolio
+2. **Revenue Forecasting**: Error weighted by revenue impact
+3. **Supply Chain**: Inventory planning where volume matters
+4. **Resource Allocation**: Budget forecasting
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+- **Zero Actual Sum**: Returns 0 when total actual is zero (handled via substitution)
+- **NaN Handling**: Uses last valid value substitution
+- **Single Input**: Not supported (requires two series)
+- **Period = 1**: Returns current weighted percentage error
+- **All Zero Actuals**: Uses epsilon substitution
