#' permutationSimpleLm
#'
#' permutationSimpleLm is a permutation test to calculate the empirical p 
#' values for a weighted simple linear regression.
#'
#' @param fc a vector of numeric values representing the gene expression fold 
#' change
#' @param net a matrix of numeric values in the size of gene number x gene set 
#' number, representing the connectivity betweeen genes and gene sets
#' @param weights a vector of numeric values representing the weights of 
#' permuted genes
#' @param num a vector of integer values representing the number of 
#' permutations
#' @param verbose an boolean value indicating whether or not to print output to 
#' the screen 
#'
#' @return a data frame comprising the following columns:
#' \itemize{
#' \item {term} a vector of character values incidating the name of gene set.
#' \item {usedGenes} a vector of numeric values indicating the number of genes 
#' used in the model.
#' \item {Estimate} a vector of numeric values indicating the regression 
#' coefficients.
#' \item {Std..Error} a vector of numeric values indicating the standard 
#' errors of regression coefficients.
#' \item {t.value} a vector of numeric values indicating the t-statistics of 
#' regression coefficients.
#' \item {observedPval} a vector of numeric values [0,1] indicating the p 
#' values from weighted simple regression model.
#' \item {empiricalPval} a vector of numeric values [0,1] indicating the 
#' empirical p values from the permutation test.
