In likelet/LassoBag: Variable Selection Oriented LASSO Bagging Algorithm

# Provide p-value using the statistical method described in RRLASSO (Park H., et al, 2015; doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0141869)

# Return a p-value list and the average selection ratio pi

#' Parametric Statistical Test
#'
#' An internal function utilized by VSOLassoBag.
#'
#' @param res.df a dataframe with variables and observed frequency
#' @param bootN an integer, bagging times
#' @return a list of p-value of each variable and the average selection ratio
#' @references \href{https://www.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0141869}{RRLASSO, Park H., et al, 2015}, the algorithm utilized in LassoBag has been modified.
