This function computes several estimates of the intrinsic noise (unscaled by the mean). The estimators, described in Fu and Pachter (2016), include the original estimators developed in Elowitz et al. (2002), unbiased estimators with and without assuming equal mean of the two reporters, min-MSE estimators with and without assuming equal mean, and asymptotic estimators for large sample sizes with and without assuming equal mean.

Six (unscaled) estimates of intrinsic noise: the original estimators developed in Elowitz et al. (2002), unbiased estimators with and without assuming equal mean of the two reporters, min-MSE estimators with and without assuming equal mean, and asymptotic estimators for large sample sizes with and without assuming equal mean.
