* Generates a frequency table.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   The output is an array of arrays. Each sub-array corresponds to a unique value in the input collection and is structured as follows:
*
*     -   0: unique value
*     -   1: value count
*     -   2: frequency percentage
*
* -   If provided an empty collection, the function returns an empty array.
*
* @param collection - input collection
* @returns frequency table
*
* @example
* var arr = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'beep' ];
*
* var out = tabulate( arr );
* // returns [ [ 'beep', 2, 0.5 ], [ 'boop', 1, 0.25 ], [ 'foo', 1, 0.25 ] ]
