\title{Find the best weights to rank the results.}
\usage{
optimal_weights(
  analysis,
  methods,
  reference_gene_ids,
  target = "mean",
  min_n_species = 10
)
}
\arguments{
\item{analysis}{Results from \code{\link[=analyze]{analyze()}} or \code{\link[=ranking]{ranking()}}.}

\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
"max" and results in the respective rank being optimized.}

\item{min_n_species}{Minimum number of required species per gene. Genes that
have fewer species will not be included in the rankings used to find the
optimal weights.}
}
\value{
Named list pairing method names with their optimal weights. This
can be used as an argument to \code{\link[=ranking]{ranking()}}.
}
\description{
This function finds the optimal parameters to \code{\link[=ranking]{ranking()}} that result in the
reference genes ranking particulary high.
