#' @title Estimated distribution of fragment lengths
#' @description Empirical fragment length distribution was estimated using 7
#'   randomly selected RNA-seq samples from the GEUVADIS dataset ('t Hoen et
#'   al 2013). One sample was selected from each of the 7 laboratories that
#'   performed the sequencing. We used Picard's "CollectInsertSizeMetrics" tool
#'   (http://broadinstitude.github.io/picard/), version 1.121, to estimate
#'   the fragment size distribution based on read alignments. Code we used
#'   to estimate this distribution is available at
#'   \url{https://github.com/alyssafrazee/polyester/blob/master/make_fraglen_model.R}.
