In scCB2: CB2 improves power of cell detection in droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing data

#' Filter out low count genes and barcodes from count matrix
#' 
#' This function is used for filtering out low count genes and barcodes 
#' from count matrix based on total gene expression count (row sums) and 
#' barcode expression count (column sums). \code{CB2FindCell}
#' has already integrated this function into it with \code{g_threshold = 0} 
#' and \code{b_threshold = 0}. If users plan to customize their filtering 
#' threshold, this function can be applied to the raw expression
#' count matrix prior to running \code{CB2FindCell}.
#' 
#' @param dat Input count matrix to be filtered.
#' 
#' @param g_threshold Nonnegative integer. Default: \code{0}. Filtering 
#' threshold for genes. Any gene whose total expression count is less or 
#' equal to \code{g_threshold} will be filtered out.
#' 
#' @param b_threshold Nonnegative integer. Default: \code{0}. Filtering 
#' threshold for barcodes. Any barcode whose total count is less or equal 
#' to \code{b_threshold} will be filtered out.
#' 
#' @return A filtered matrix with the same format as input matrix.
