\begin{Description}\relax
Performs pathway analysis
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
runSigPathway(G, minNPS = 20, maxNPS = 500,
              tab, phenotype, nsim = 1000,
              weightType = c("constant", "variable"), ngroups = 2,
              npath = 25, verbose = FALSE, allpathways = FALSE,
              annotpkg = NULL, alwaysUseRandomPerm = FALSE)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{G}] a list containing the source, title, and probe sets
associated with each curated pathway
\item[\code{minNPS}] an integer specifying the minimum number of probe sets
in \code{tab} that should be in a gene set
\item[\code{maxNPS}] an integer specifying the maximum number of probe sets
in \code{tab} that should be in a gene set
\item[\code{tab}] a numeric matrix of expression values, with the rows and
columns representing probe sets and sample arrays, respectively
\item[\code{phenotype}] a numeric (or character if \code{ngroups} >= 2)
vector indicating the phenotype
\item[\code{nsim}] an integer indicating the number of permutations to use
\item[\code{weightType}] a character string specifying the type of weight to
use when calculating NEk statistics
\item[\code{ngroups}] an integer indicating the number of groups in the
matrix
\item[\code{npath}] an integer indicating the number of top gene sets to
consider from each statistic when ranking the top pathways
\item[\code{verbose}] a boolean to indicate whether to print debugging messages
to the R console
\item[\code{allpathways}] a boolean to indicate whether to include the top
npath pathways from each statistic or just consider the top npath
pathways (sorted by the sum of ranks of both statistics) when
generating the summary table
\item[\code{annotpkg}] a character vector specifying the name of the
BioConductor annotation package to use to fetch accession numbers,
Entrez Gene IDs, gene name, and gene symbols
\item[\code{alwaysUseRandomPerm}] a boolean to indicate whether the algorithm
can use complete permutations for cases where \code{nsim} is greater
than the total number of unique permutations possible with the
\code{phenotype} vector
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
\code{runSigPathway} is a wrapper function that

(1) Selects the gene sets to analyze using \code{selectGeneSets}

(2) Calculates NTk and NEk statistics using \code{calculate.NTk} and
\code{calculate.NEK}

(3) Ranks the top \code{npath} pathways from each statistic using
\code{rankPathways}

(4) Summarizes the means, standard deviation, and individual
statistics of each probe set in each of the above pathways using
\code{getPathwayStatistics}
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A list containing
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{gsList}] a list containing three vectors from the output of
the \code{selectGeneSets} function
\item[\code{list.NTk}] a list from the output of calculate.NTk
\item[\code{list.NEk}] a list from the output of calculate.NEk
\item[\code{df.pathways}] a data frame from \code{rankPathways} which
contains the top pathways' indices in \code{G}, gene set category,
pathway title, set size, NTk statistics, NEk statistics, the
corresponding q-values, and the ranks. 

\item[\code{list.gPS}] a list from \code{getPathwayStatistics} containing
\code{nrow(df.pathways)} data frames corresponding to the pathways
listed in \code{df.pathways}.  Each data frame contains the
name, mean, standard deviation, the test statistic (e.g., t-test),
and the corresponding unadjusted p-value.  If \code{ngroups} = 1, the
Pearson correlation coefficient is also returned.  If a valid
\code{annotpkg} is specified, the probes' accession numbers, Entrez
Gene IDs, gene name, and gene symbols are also returned.
\item[\code{parameters}] a list of parameters (e.g., \code{nsim}) used in the
analysis
