Methods

ABM stands for "average best-match". It is defined as:

group_sim = (sum_{a in group1}(S(a, group2)) + sum_{b in group2}(S(b, group1)))/(n1 + n2)

where n1 and n2 are the number of terms in group1 and group2.

The term semantic similarity method and the IC method can be set via control argument:

group_sim(dag, group1, group2, method = "GroupSim_pairwise_ABM"
    control = list(term_sim_method = "Sim_Lin_1998", IC_method = "IC_annotation")`.

Other parameters for the term_sim_method can also be set in the control list.
