#' Estimate Lun simulation parameters
#'
#' Estimate simulation parameters for the Lun simulation from a real dataset.
#'
#' @param counts either a counts matrix or an SingleCellExperiment object
#'        containing count data to estimate parameters from.
#' @param params LunParams object to store estimated values in.
#'
#' @details
#' The \code{nGenes} and \code{nCells} parameters are taken from the size of the
#' input data. No other parameters are estimated. See \code{\link{LunParams}}
#' for more details on the parameters.
#'
#' @return LunParams object containing the estimated parameters.
#'
#' @examples
#' # Load example data

#' set.seed(1)
