#' Analyze by applying the specified preset.
#'
#' @param preset The preset to use which should be created using [preset()].
#' @param progress A function to be called for progress information. The
#'   function should accept a number between 0.0 and 1.0 for the current
#'   progress.
#'
#' @return An object containing the results of the analysis. It contains a
#'   [data.table] with one row for each gene identified by it's ID (`gene`
#'   column). The additional columns contain the resulting scores per method
#'   and are named after the method IDs.

    # A method describes a way to perform a computation on gene distance data
    # that results in a single score per gene. The function should accept the
    # preset to apply (see [preset()]) and an optional progress function (that
    # may be called with a number between 0.0 and 1.0) as its parameters.
    #
    # The function should return a [data.table] with the following columns:
    #
    #  - `gene` Gene ID of the processed gene.
    #  - `score` Score for the gene between 0.0 and 1.0.
