estimateAbundance estimates the complete clonal relative abundance distribution
and confidence intervals on clone sizes using bootstrapping.

)A AbundanceCurve object summarizing the abundances.
data.frame with Change-O style columns containing clonal assignments.
name of the data column containing clone identifiers.
name of the data column containing copy numbers for each
sequence. If copy=NULL (the default), then clone abundance
is determined by the number of sequences. If a copy column
is specified, then clone abundances is determined by the sum of
copy numbers within each clonal group.
name of the data column containing group identifiers.
If NULL then no grouping is performed and the group
column of the output will contain the value NA for each row.
minimum number of observations to sample. A group with less observations than the minimum is excluded.
maximum number of observations to sample. If NULL then no
maximum is set.
if TRUE then uniformly resample each group to the same
number of observations. If FALSE then allow each group to
be resampled to its original size or, if specified, max_size.
confidence interval to calculate; the value must be between 0 and 1.
number of bootstrap realizations to generate.
if TRUE show a progress bar.
