_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Finds patterns in data. Transitions within range of 'fraction'
     (centered on median) are considered flat (unchanging). Those below
     are falling and those above are rising.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     exp_findPatterns(data, flat_fraction)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    data: A data frame of experimental data according to exploRase
          conventions.

flat_fraction: The fraction of transitions considered unchanged,
          centered on median.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a data frame, with a row for each gene. The first column is the
     sum of  'x^i' over all 'i' from 1 to 'ncol(data)-1', where 'x' is
     1, 2, or 3, depending on whether the pattern is up, same, or down,
      respectively, for transition 'i'. The second column contains the
     magnitude of the pattern.
