#'Transform an absolute threshold into probabilities
#'
#'From the user's perspective, an absolute threshold can be very useful for a 
#'specific needs (e.g.: grape variety). However, this absolute threshold could 
#'be transformed to a relative threshold in order to get its frequency in a given 
#'dataset. Therefore, the function \code{QThreshold} returns the probability of 
#'an absolute threshold. This is done by computing the Cumulative Distribution 
#'Function of a sample and leaving one out. The sample used will depend on the 
#'dimensions of the data provided and the dimension names provided in sdate_dim 
#'and memb_dim parameters:
#' 
#'\itemize{
#'  \item{If a forecast (hindcast) has dimensions member and start date, and
#'        both must be used in the sample, their names should be passed in 
#'        sdate_dim and memb_dim.}
#'  \item{If a forecast (hindcast) has dimensions member and start date, and
#'        only start date must be used in the sample (the calculation is done in
#'        each separate member), memb_dim can be set to NULL.}
#'  \item{If a reference (observations) has start date dimension, the sample
#'        used is the start date dimension.}
#'  \item{If a reference (observations) doesn't have start date dimension, 
#'        the sample used must be especified in sdate_dim parameter.}
