  • Num.Entities = Number of concepts that belong to the pathway

  • Min.Mean.Truth = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among real samples

  • Max.Mean.Truth = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among real samples

  • Min.Mean.Within = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "within permutation" (values are permuted across genes)

  • Max.Mean.Within = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "within permutation" (values are permuted across genes)

  • Min.Mean.Any = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "any permutation" (values are permuted across samples and genes)

  • Max.Mean.Any = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "any permutation" (values are permuted across samples and genes).
