 The `multifactor_evaluation` calculates the coefficients that best recreates the encoded journal by employing the psudo inverse of the analyte frame utlizing Singular Value Decomposition. The beta coefficients are then evaluated using a normal distribution assumption to obtain `p values` and rank corrected `q values` are also returned. The full function can be called with the follwing code
