#' Compute probability of positive or negative sign from bootPairs output
#'
#' If there are p columns of data, \code{probSign} produces a p-1 by 1 vector
#' of probabilities of correct signs assuming that the mean of n999 values
#' has the correct sign and assuming that m of the 'sum' index values inside the
#' range [-tau, tau] are neither positive nor negative but
#' indeterminate or ambiguous (being too close to zero). That is,
#' the denominator of P(+1) or P(-1) is (n999-m) if m signs are too close to zero.
#'
#' @param out {output from bootPairs with p-1 columns and n999 rows}
#' @param tau {threshold to determine what value is too close to
#' zero, default tau=0.476 is equivalent to 15 percent threshold for
#' the unanimity index ui}
#' @return sgn {When \code{mtx} has p columns, \code{sgn}
#' reports pairwise p-1 signs representing
#' (fixing the first column in each pair)
#' the average sign after averaging the
#' output of of \code{bootPairs(mtx)} (a n999 by p-1 matrix)
#' each containing resampled `sum' values summarizing the weighted sums
#' associated with all three criteria from the
#' function \code{silentPairs(mtx)}
#' applied to each bootstrap sample separately.} #'
