Documented in PointScoreCalc

#' Calculate PointScore
#' 
#' Using two gene sets that are represented of a known bicluster (one gene set being 
#' up regulated while other gene set is down regulated), samples are scored based
#' on how well they match the known regulation of the bicluster.
#' 
#' The PointScore of a sample can be directly compared to the PC1 value. The PointScore
#' is typically used to identify samples related to the upper/lower fork  of a bicluster
#' without running the complete main MCbiclust pipeline on a dataset.
#' 
#' @param gene.expr.matrix Gene expression matrix with genes as rows and samples as columns
#' @param gene.loc1 Location of the rows containing the genes in gene set 1 within the gene expression matrix
#' @param gene.loc2 Location of the rows containing the genes in gene set 2 within the gene expression matrix
#' @return Vector of point scores for each sample in the gene expression matrix
