)

Methods

Instead of using the maximal distance from a group to the other group, MHDF uses mean distance:

MHDF = max(mean_{a in group1}(D(a, group2)), mean_{b in group2}(D(b, group1)))

This final similarity is:

group_sim = 1 - MHDF

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

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