Simulates means of the gene intensities for "nps" genes, each replicated "nreps" times. The mean is drawn from a gamma distribution with shape parameter "shape" and scale parameter "scale"
genesimulator(nreps = 3, nps = 100, shape = 4, scale = 100)A matrix containing nreps*nps rows and 3 columns. The first col contains all the gene mean intensities. The second and third col contain the gene replicate number and gene number respectively.

For many problems a set of reasonable gene mean intensities is useful for testing algorithms that later draw actual gene intensities with distributions that possess a gene mean intensity.
