\item{methods}{Methods to include in the score.}

\item{reference_gene_ids}{IDs of the reference genes.}

\item{target}{The optimization target. It may be one of "mean", "min" or

}
\value{
Named list pairing method names with their optimal weights.
}
\description{
This function finds the optimal parameters to \code{\link[=ranking]{ranking()}} that result in the
reference genes ranking particulary high.
