## Estimate Kersplat BCV parameters

### Description

Estimate Biological Coefficient of Variation (BCV) parameters for the Kersplat simulation

### Usage

    kersplatEstBCV(counts, params, verbose)

### Arguments

`counts` | counts matrix.
`params` | KersplatParams object to store estimated values in.
`verbose` | logical. Whether to print progress messages

### Details

The `estimateDisp` function is used to estimate the common dispersion across the dataset. An exponential correction is applied based on fitting an exponential relationship between simulated and estimated values. If this results in a negative dispersion a simpler linear correction is applied instead.

### Value

KersplatParams object with estimated BCV parameters
