This is the power, to which all input gene-level stats are raised to. If gseaParam is zero, then all gene-level stats effectively become ones and GSEA test becomes Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The default value of gseaParam is one, meaning that gene-level stats are used as is.

Thank you; how do we know the implications of altering the gseaParam and the best practices of it? Feel free to link me to other resources/papers. thanks
