CosineDFV: calculate disease similarity by using feature vectors
In dSimer: Integration of Disease Similarity Methods

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

given two (lists of) disease names, this function will calculate cosine similarity between these diseases' feature vectors.

1	CosineDFV(D1, D2, d2f, dcol = 2, fcol = 1, ccol = 3)

`D1`	a vector consists of disease ids/names
`D2`	another vector consists of disease ids/names
`d2f`	data.frame, contains term co-occurrences between features and diseases
`dcol`	integer, disease column number in d2f
`fcol`	integer, feature column number in d2f
`ccol`	integer, co-occurrences column number in d2f

a matrix of disease disease similarity which rownames and colnames are the disease names
