)

Methods

It is based on the average distances between every pair of terms in the two groups:

exp(-mean_{a in group1, b in group2}(d(a, b)))

d(a, b) is the distance between a and b, which can be the shortest distance between the two terms or the longest distnace via LCA.

There is a parameter distance which takes value of "longest_distances_via_LCA" (the default) or "shortest_distances_via_NCA":

group_sim(dag, group1, group2, method = "GroupSim_SimALN",
    control = list(distance = "shortest_distances_via_NCA"))
