Sim_Slimani_2006(dag, terms, verbose = simona_opt$verbose)

Methods

It is a correction of the Sim_WP_1994 method. The correction factor for term a and b regarding to their LCA t is:

CF(a, b) = (1-lambda)*(min(depth(a), depth(b)) - depth(c)) + 
           lambda/(1 + abs(depth(a) - depth(b)))

lambda takes value of 1 if a and b are in ancestor-offspring relation, or else it takes 0.
