+differential expression for microarray data, including t statistics, fold
+change, F statistics, SAM, moderated t and F statistics and B statistics.  It
+also implements a new methodology called DEDS (Differential Expression via
+Distance Summary), which selects differentially expressed genes by integrating
+and summarizing a set of statistics using a weighted distance approach.")
