GroupSim_pairwise_BMM

BMM stands for "best-match max". It is defined as:

group_sim = max(mean_{a in group1}(S(a, group2)), mean_{b in group2}(S(b, group1)))

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

group_sim(dag, group1, group2, method = "GroupSim_pairwise_BMM"
    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.
