Correct GSEA mislabeling in g:Profiler (web) chapter - #33
Merged
Conversation
g:Profiler's "Ordered query" mode runs incremental ORA (hypergeometric test) over prefixes of a ranked list; it does not implement the Subramanian et al. 2005 GSEA algorithm (no running-sum statistic, no weighting by ranking-metric magnitude, no permutation testing). This was previously labelled "GSEA-style analysis" and "GSEA with gProfiler", which risks confusing readers now that this chapter sits right after the real GSEA(web) chapter. Retitled the section and challenge, added a clarifying note contrasting the two methods, and corrected the intro line's claim that gProfiler "supports both ORA and GSEA".
