Power Analysis Module

The module imperially estimates the power of a dataset using Monte Carlo simulation. The functions take test, a function which accepts a list of sample ids or values, and returns a p-value.

In conjunction with Statsmodels, the code can be used to generate power curves, for a sufficiently large number of samples. (Depending on the effect size, about 20 - 30 in each group).

I will move the statsmodel dependent example into an ipython notebook and either keep it in one of my repositories or else submit to Greg's Introduction to Applied Bioinformatics, unless statsmodel can be added.

*This code likely needs to be optimized, given the iterative nature*
This wording may be clearer:

*Most functions in this module accept a statistical test function, which takes a list of IDs and returns a p-value. The test function is then evaluated over a series of subsample sizes.*
