Function Hermes( infile, outfile, num_perm )     % Example: Hermes( 'sample_input', 'sample_output', 1000 )

infile: The log transformed normalized expression profiles of each gene and miRNA are given in seperate rows without a header. The first two rows describe the expression of the candidate ceRNAs, and the remainng rows describe the expression of miRNAs. The first column gives the name of the RNA species.

outfile: Genes, number miRNAs tested, chiSq and degrees of freedom, integrated p-vaule and the identities of miRNAs is given, follwed by the individual CMI evaluations.

num_perm: number of premutation tests to derive p-values for each CMI computation.

See sample data as example ( infile: sample_input, outfile: sample_output ).
