## Function to compute the subtype scores and risk classifications for the angiogenic molecular subtype in ovarian cancer

### Description

This function computes subtype scores and risk classifications from gene expression values following the algorithm developed by Bentink, Haibe-Kains et al. to identify the angiogenic molecular subtype in ovarian cancer.

### Usage

    ovcAngiogenic(data, annot, hgs,
    gmap = c("entrezgene", "ensembl_gene_id", "hgnc_symbol", "unigene"),
    do.mapping = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

### Arguments

`data` | Matrix of gene expressions with samples in rows and probes in columns, dimnames being properly defined.
`annot` | Matrix of annotations with one column named as gmap, dimnames being properly defined.
`hgs` | vector of booleans with TRUE represents the ovarian cancer patients who have a high grade, late stage, serous tumor, FALSE otherwise. This is particularly important for properly rescaling the data. If `hgs` is missing, all the patients will be used to rescale the subtype score.
`gmap` | character string containing the `biomaRt` attribute to use for mapping if `do.mapping=TRUE`
`do.mapping` | `TRUE` if the mapping through Entrez Gene ids must be performed (in case of ambiguities, the most variant probe is kept for each gene), `FALSE` otherwise.
`verbose` | `TRUE` to print informative messages, `FALSE` otherwise.

### Value

`score` | Continuous signature scores
`risk` | Binary risk classification, `1` being high risk and `0` being low risk.
`mapping` | Mapping used if necessary.
`probe` | If mapping is performed, this matrix contains the correspondence between the gene list (aka signature) and gene expression data.
`subtype` | data frame reporting the subtype score, maximum likelihood classification and corresponding subtype probabilities
