## Summarization Gaussian approach

### Description

This function runs the FARMS algorithm.

### Usage

    summarizeFarmsGaussian(probes, weight = 0.15, mu = 0, cyc = 10,
      tol = 1e-04, weightType = "mean", init = 0.6, correction = 0,
      minNoise = 0.35, centering = "median", refIdx)

### Arguments

`probes` | A matrix with numeric values.
`weight` | Hyperparameter value in the range of [0,1] which determines the influence of the prior.
`mu` | Hyperparameter value which allows to quantify different aspects of potential prior knowledge. Values near zero assumes that most genes do not contain a signal, and introduces a bias for loading matrix elements near zero. Default value is 0.
`cyc` | Number of cycles for the EM algorithm.
`tol` | States the termination tolerance. Default is 0.00001.
`weightType` | Flag, that is used to summarize the loading matrix. The default value is set to mean.
`init` | Parameter for estimation.
`correction` | Value that indicates whether the covariance matrix should be corrected for negative eigenvalues which might emerge from the non-negative correlation constraints or not. Default = O (means that no correction is done), 1 (minimal noise (0.0001) is added to the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix to force positive definiteness), 2 (Maximum Likelihood solution to compute the nearest positive definite matrix under the given non-negative correlation constraints of the covariance matrix)
`minNoise` | States the minimal noise. Default is 0.35.
`centering` | States how the data is centered. Default is median.
`refIdx` | index or indices which are used for computation of the centering

### Value

A list containing the results of the run.
