In rexposome: Exposome exploration and outcome data analysis

#' @describeIn ExposomeSet Performs an EXposome-Wide Association Study (modelling the exposures as response)
#' @param formula Formula, not including exposures, to be tested. No need to provide response (left term)
#' @param filter Expression to be used to filter \code{\link{ExposomeSet}}
#' @param tef If \code{TRUE} it computed the threshold for effective tests.
#' @param verbose If set to \code{TRUE} is shows messages on progression.
#' @param warnings If set to \code{TRUE} it prints the warning messsages.
