Title: Fix permutation example

The recursive function that makes the permutation test example crash randomly (due to a maximum recursion depth runtime error) is a fairly experimental piece of code developed by Merlin Keller during his thesis in an attempt to generalize traditional cluster-level analysis. I don't think Merlin has spent much time on testing this idea and is no longer on the boat. Therefore, I propose to:

- remove calls to his fancy cluster-level analysis from the example, just keep the traditional analysis which does not seem buggy

- catch the error in the underlying function but keep it for now in the code base to serve as basis for anyone interested in working further on Merlin's idea.
