Methods

Sim_Leocock_1998

It is similar as the Sim_Resnik_edge_2005 method, but it applies log-transformation on the distance and the depth:

sim = 1 - log(d(a, b) + 1)/log(2*max_depth + 1)

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

term_sim(dag, terms, method = "Sim_Leocock_1998",
    control = list(distance = "shortest_distances_via_NCA"))
