## Filter gene sets

### Description

Filters gene sets through a given minimum and maximum set size.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'list'
    filterGeneSets(gSets, min.sz=1, max.sz=Inf)
    ## S4 method for signature 'GeneSetCollection'

### Arguments

`gSets` | Gene sets given either as a `list` or a `GeneSetCollection` object.
`min.sz` | Minimum size.
`max.sz` | Maximum size.

### Details
