#' Simulate Datasets by Splat
#'
#' This function is used to simulate datasets from learned parameters by `splatSimulate`
#' function in Splatter package.
#'
#' @param parameters A object generated by [splatter::splatEstimate()]
#' @param other_prior A list with names of certain parameters. Some methods need
#' extra parameters to execute the estimation step, so you must input them. In
#' simulation step, the number of cells, genes, groups, batches, the percent of
#' DEGs are usually customed, so before simulating a dataset you must point it out.
#' See `Details` below for more information.
#' @param return_format A character. Alternative choices: list, SingleCellExperiment,
#' Seurat, h5ad. If you select `h5ad`, you will get a path where the .h5ad file saves to.
#' @param verbose Logical. Whether to return messages or not.
#' @param seed A random seed.
#' @details
#' In addtion to simulate datasets with default parameters, users want to simulate
#' other kinds of datasets, e.g. a counts matrix with 2 or more cell groups. In
#' Splat, you can set extra parameters to simulate datasets.
#'
#' The customed parameters you can set are below:
#' 1. nCells. In Splat, you can not set nCells directly and should set batchCells instead. For example, if you want to simulate 1000 cells, you can type `other_prior = list(batchCells = 1000)`. If you type `other_prior = list(batchCells = c(500, 500))`, the simulated data will have two batches.
#' 2. nGenes. You can directly set `other_prior = list(nGenes = 5000)` to simulate 5000 genes.
#' 3. nGroups. You can not directly set `other_prior = list(nGroups = 3)` to simulate 3 groups. Instead, you should set `other_prior = list(prob.group = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.5))` where the sum of group probabilities must equal to 1.
#' 4. de.prob. You can directly set `other_prior = list(de.prob = 0.2)` to simulate DEGs that account for 20 percent of all genes.
#' 5. prob.group. You can directly set `other_prior = list(prob.group = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.5))` to assign three proportions of cell groups. Note that the number of groups always equals to the length of the vector.
#' 6. nBatches. You can not directly set `other_prior = list(nBatches = 3)` to simulate 3 batches. Instead, you should set `other_prior = list(batchCells = c(500, 500, 500))` to reach the goal and the total cells are 1500.
#' 7. If users want to simulate datasets for trajectory inference, just set `other_prior = list(paths = TRUE)`. Simulating trajectory datasets can also specify the parameters of group and batch. See `Examples`.
