\begin{Description}\relax
The \code{pcot2} function implements the PCOT2 testing method, which is a
two-stage permutation-based approach for testing changes in activity in
pre-specified gene sets.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
pcot2(emat, class = NULL, imat, permu = "ByColumn", iter = 1000, alpha = 0.05, adjP.method = "BY", var.equal = TRUE, ncomp = 2, dist.method = "euclidean")
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{emat}] A gene expression matrix with no missing values; Each row represents a gene and each column represents a sample. 
\item[\code{class}] Class labels representing two distinct experimental conditions (e.g., normal and disease). 
\item[\code{imat}] The gene category indicator matrix indicates
presence or absence of genes in pre-defined gene sets
(e.g., gene pathways). The indicator matrix contains rows representing
gene identifiers of genes present in the expression data and columns
representing pre-defined group names. A value of 1 indicates the
presence of a gene and 0 indicates the absence for the gene in a
particular group.
\item[\code{permu}] Specifies whether genes or samples are permuted.  By
default, permutations are performed by sample ("ByColumn").
\item[\code{iter}] The number indicates how many permutations will be
performed in the analysis. 
\item[\code{alpha}] alpha determines the significance threshold for the permutation p-values. 
\item[\code{adjP.method}] Specifies that p-values be adjusted by one of
the following methods: "bonferroni", "holm", "hochberg", "hommel",
"BH" (Benjamini and Hochberg), or "BY"  (Benjamini and Yekutieli).
\item[\code{var.equal}] Specifies the use of either a pooled estimate of
correlation for the two classes or an unpooled estimate for
calculating each T-squared statistic. By default, the pooled estimate is used.
\item[\code{ncomp}] The dimensionality to which the data matrix is reduced
via principle coordinates. The default dimensionality is set as
\code{ncomp=2}.
\item[\code{dist.method}] Specifies the method for calculating
distance in the PCO procedure.  The available distance methods are
"euclidean", "maximum", "manhattan", "canberra", "binary",
"pearson","correlation" or "spearman". For additional details see the
\code{amap} package and the help documentation for the \code{Dist} function.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
The raw permutation p-values are adjusted for multiple testing by a call to 'p.adjust'.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{res.all}] A data frame which prints information for all pathways
\item[\code{res.sig}] A data frame which prints information for significant pathways at a given alpha level
\item[\code{comparison}] Print the contrast used in the analysis
\end{ldescription}
