plotEnrichment: Plot concordance indices for a geneset
In saps: Significance Analysis of Prognostic Signatures

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

This function draws concordance indices for a given geneset relative to the concordance indices for all the genes in the dataset (i.e., the degree of enrichment for the geneset).

1	plotEnrichment(geneset, rankedGenes)

`geneset`	A geneset as returned by `saps`.
`rankedGenes`	A vector of concordance index z-scores. Usually this will be the `rankedGenes` element returned by `saps`.

The function is used for side-effects (drawing a plot). No value is returned.

# p_enrich should not be significant

# increase expression levels for set1 for first 5 patients

# run saps again
results <- saps(genesets, dat, time, followup, random.samples=100)

set <- results$genesets[["set1"]]

# now it should be significant
