#' @title Cramer von Mises for differential analysis of genomics data
#' @description This is a main user interface to the \pkg{EMDomics} package, and
#' will usually the only function needed when conducting an analysis using the CVM
#' algorithm. Analyses can also be conducted with the Komolgorov-Smirnov Test using
#' \code{calculate_ks} or the Earth Mover's Distance algorithm using \code{calculate_emd}.
#'
#' The algorithm is used to compare genomics data between any number of groups. 
#' Usually the data will be gene expression
#' values from array-based or sequence-based experiments, but data from other
#' types of experiments can also be analyzed (e.g. copy number variation).
#'
#' Traditional methods like Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) and Linear
#' Models for Microarray Data (LIMMA) use significance tests based on summary
#' statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the two distributions. This
#' approach tends to give non-significant results if the two distributions are
#' highly heterogeneous, which can be the case in many biological circumstances
#' (e.g sensitive vs. resistant tumor samples).
#'
#' The Cramer von Mises (CVM) algorithm generates a test statistic that is the sum of 
#' the squared values of the differences between two cumulative distribution functions (CDFs). 
#' As a result, the test statistic tends to overestimate the similarity between two distributions and
#' cannot effectively handle partial matching like EMD does. However, it is one of the most
#' commonly referenced nonparametric two-class distribution comparison tests in non-genomic
#' contexts.
#' 
#' The CVM-based algorithm implemented in \pkg{EMDomics} has two main steps.
#' First, a matrix (e.g. of expression data) is divided into data for each of the groups.
#' Every possible pairwise CVM score is then computed and stored in a table. The CVM score
#' for a single gene is calculated by averaging all of the pairwise CVM scores.
#' Next, the labels for each of the groups are randomly
#' permuted a specified number of times, and an CVM score for each permutation is
#' calculated. The median of the permuted scores for each gene is used as
#' the null distribution, and the False Discovery Rate (FDR) is computed for
#' a range of permissive to restrictive significance thresholds. The threshold
#' that minimizes the FDR is defined as the q-value, and is used to interpret
#' the significance of the CVM score analogously to a p-value (e.g. q-value
#' < 0.05 is significant.)
#'
#' @param data A matrix containing genomics data (e.g. gene expression levels).
#' The rownames should contain gene identifiers, while the column names should
#' contain sample identifiers.
#' @param outcomes A vector containing group labels for each of the samples provided
#' in the \code{data} matrix. The names should be the sample identifiers provided in \code{data}.
#' @param nperm An integer specifying the number of randomly permuted CVM
#' scores to be computed. Defaults to 100.
#' @param pairwise.p Boolean specifying whether the permutation-based q-values should
#' be computed for each pairwise comparison. Defaults to \code{FALSE}.
#' @param seq Boolean specifying if the given data is RNA Sequencing data and ought to be
#' normalized. Set to \code{TRUE}, if passing transcripts per million (TPM) data or raw
#' data that is not scaled. If \code{TRUE}, data will be normalized by first multiplying by 1E6, then adding
#' 1, then taking the log base 2. If \code{FALSE}, the data will be handled as is (unless 
#' \code{quantile.norm} is \code{TRUE}). Note that as a distribution comparison function, K-S will
#' compute faster with scaled data. Defaults to \code{FALSE}.
#' @param quantile.norm Boolean specifying is data should be normalized by quantiles. If
#' \code{TRUE}, then the \code{\link[preprocessCore]{normalize.quantiles}} function is used.
#' Defaults to \code{FALSE}.
#' @param verbose Boolean specifying whether to display progress messages.
#' @param parallel Boolean specifying whether to use parallel processing via
#' the \pkg{BiocParallel} package. Defaults to \code{TRUE}.
#' @return The function returns an \code{\link{CVMomics}} object.
