This ensures perturbed weights are always valid ScoringWeights instances. + +2. **Spearman vs Pearson:** Uses Spearman rank correlation (not Pearson) because we care about ordinal ranking preservation, not linear relationship of scores. More appropriate for rank stability assessment. + +3. **Top-N comparison:** Compares top-100 genes (by default) because: + - Relevant for candidate prioritization use case + - Reduces computational burden vs whole-genome comparison + - Focus on high-scoring genes where rank changes matter most + +4. **Overlap threshold:** Requires >= 10 overlapping genes for Spearman correlation to avoid meaningless correlations from tiny samples. Records rho=None if insufficient overlap. + +5. **Stability threshold:** 0.85 chosen as "stable" cutoff based on common practice in rank stability studies.
