#' @title dafsFilter Function to filter expression data within an "se" object.
#' @description This function filters the expression of the supplied
#' "se" object, by invoking the dafsFilter (dafs) function. dafsFilter is a
#' filtering function used to remove rows (genes) of various expression data.
#' @usage dafsFilter(se, PLOT=TRUE)
#' @param se A SummExp object.
#' @param PLOT Boolean, toggles plotting.
#' @details This function filters the expression of the supplied se object
#' using a Data Adaptive Flag filter. The internal function uses a vector
#' to store Kolmogorov Smirnov distance statistics, loops through cuts of
#' the data to determine targeted K-S statistic, selects data greater than
#' a quantile and runs Mclust on that data to determine theoretical
#' distribution. The wrapper uses simpleFilter to determine first left-most
#' local minima (using the Earth library).
#' @return Returns an invisible, filtered SummExp object.
#' @examples
#' data(hmel.se)
#' f_se <- dafsFilter(se)
