## Estimate PhenoPath simulation parameters

### Description

Estimate simulation parameters for the PhenoPath simulation from a real dataset.

### Usage

    phenoEstimate(counts, params = newPhenoParams())

    ## S3 method for class 'SingleCellExperiment'
    phenoEstimate(counts,
      params = newPhenoParams())

    ## S3 method for class 'matrix'
    phenoEstimate(counts, params = newPhenoParams())

### Arguments

`counts` | either a counts matrix or an SingleCellExperiment object containing count data to estimate parameters from.
`params` | PhenoParams object to store estimated values in.

### Details

The `nGenes` and `nCells` parameters are taken from the size of the input data. The total number of genes is evenly divided into the four types. See `PhenoParams` for more details on the parameters.

### Value

PhenoParams object containing the estimated parameters.

### Examples

    # Load example data
    library(scater)
    data("sc_example_counts")

    params <- phenoEstimate(sc_example_counts)
    params
