#' CTD Descriptors - Distribution (with customized amino acid
#' classification support)
#'
#' This function calculates the Distribution descriptor of the
#' CTD descriptors, with customized amino acid classification support.
#'
#' @param x A character vector, as the input protein sequence.
#' @param aagroup1 A named list which contains the first group of customized
#' amino acid classification. See example below.
#' @param aagroup2 A named list which contains the second group of customized
#' amino acid classification. See example below.
#' @param aagroup3 A named list which contains the third group of customized
#' amino acid classification. See example below.
#'
#' @return A length \code{k * 15} named vector, \code{k} is the number of
#' amino acid properties used.

#' \code{\link{extractCTDTClass}} for Composition and Transition of
#' the CTD descriptors with customized amino acid classification support.

#'
#' @note For this descriptor type, users need to intelligently evaluate
#' the underlying details of the descriptors provided, instead of using
#' this function with their data blindly. It would be wise to use some
#' negative and positive control comparisons where relevant to help guide
#' interpretation of the results.
