compute_SS_distances-methods: Compute distance between GO terms or GO clusters based on...

In ViSEAGO: ViSEAGO: a Bioconductor package for clustering biological functions using Gene Ontology and semantic similarity

Description

This method computes distance between GO terms or GO clusters based on semantic similarity.

Usage

compute_SS_distances(object, distance)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,character'
compute_SS_distances(object, distance)

Arguments

object	a GO_SS-class, or GO_clusters-class objects created by build_GO_SS or GOterms_heatmap methods, respectively.
distance	The available methods for calculating GO terms Semantic Similarity (SS) are "Resnik", "Rel", "Lin", and "Jiang" which are based on Information Content (IC), and "Wang" which is based on graph topology. The available methods for calculating clusters of GO terms SS are "max", "avg","rcmax", and "BMA".

Details

This method computes semantic similarity distances between all GO terms provided by GO_SS-class object.
This method also computes semantic similarity distances between all GO clusters provided by GO_clusters-class object.

Semantic Similarity computations are based on mgoSim method from the GoSemSim package.

Value

a GO_SS-class, or a GO_clusters-class object (same class as input object).
