#' Create splatParams object
#'
#' S3 class for holding Splatter simulation parameters.
#'
#' @param ... parameters to set in the new params object, passed to
#' \code{\link{setParams}}.
#'
#' @details
#' The splatParams object is a list based S3 object for holding simulation
#' parameters. It has the following sections and values:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item nGenes - Number of genes to simulate.
#' \item nCells - Number of cells to simulate.
#' \item nGroups - Number of groups to simulate.
#' \item [groupCells] - Vector giving the number of cells in each simulation
#' group/path.
#' \item mean (mean parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item rate - Rate parameter for the mean gamma simulation.
#' \item shape - Shape parameter for the mean gamma simulation.
#' }
#' \item lib (library size parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item loc - Location (meanlog) parameter for the library size
#' log-normal distribution.
#' \item scale - Scale (sdlog) parameter for the library size log-normal
#' distribution.
#' }
#' \item out (expression outlier parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item prob - Probability that a gene is an expression outlier.
#' \item loProb - Probability that an expression outlier gene is lowly
#' expressed.
#' \item facLoc - Location (meanlog) parameter for the expression outlier
#' factor log-normal distribution.
#' \item facScale - Scale (sdlog) parameter for the expression outlier
#' factor log-normal distribution.
#' }
#' \item de (differential expression parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item [prob] - Probability that a gene is differentially expressed
#' between groups or paths.
#' \item [downProb] - Probability that differentially expressed gene is
#' down-regulated.
#' \item [facLoc] - Location (meanlog) parameter for the differential
#' expression factor log-normal distribution.
#' \item [facScale] - Scale (sdlog) parameter for the differential
#' expression factor log-normal distribution.
#' }
#' \item bcv (Biological Coefficient of Variation parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item common - Underlying common dispersion across all genes.
#' \item DF - Degrees of Freedom for the BCV inverse chi-squared
#' distribution.
#' }
#' \item dropout (dropout parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item present - Logical. Whether to simulate dropout.
#' \item mid - Midpoint parameter for the dropout logistic function.
#' \item shape - Shape parameter for the dropout logistic function.
#' }
#' \item path (differentiation path parameters)
#' \itemize{
#' \item [from] - Vector giving the originating point of each path. This
#' allows path structure such as a cell type which differentiates
#' into an intermediate cell type that then differentiates into two
#' mature cell types. A path structure of this form would have a
#' "from" parameter of c(0, 1, 1) (where 0 is the origin). If no
#' vector is given all paths will start at the origin.#' \item [length] - Vector giving the number of steps to simulate along
#' each path. If a single value is given it will be applied to all
#' paths.
#' \item [skew] - Vector giving the skew of each path. Values closer to 1
#' will give more cells towards the starting population, values
#' closer to 0 will give more cells towards the final population.
#' If a single value is given it will be applied to all paths.
#' \item [nonlinearProb] - Probability that a gene follows a non-linear
#' path along the differentiation path. This allows more complex
#' gene patterns such as a gene being equally expressed at the
#' beginning an end of a path but lowly expressed in the middle.
#' \item [sigmaFac] - Sigma factor for non-linear gene paths. A higher
#' value will result in more extreme non-linear variations along a
#' path.
#' }
#' }
#'
#' Those shown in brackets cannot currently be easily estimated from a real
#' dataset by Splatter. This is also shown when a splatParams object is printed
#' with parameters labelled as either (estimatable) or [not estimatable].

#' \code{setParams(params, nGenes = 100)} is equivalent to
