An analysis and comparison of the statistical sensitivity of semantic similarity metrics

2018-05-22

Abstract excerpt

1 Semantic similarity has been used for comparing genes, proteins, phenotypes, diseases, etc. for various biological applications. The rise of ontology-based data representation in biology has also led to the development of several semantic similarity metrics that use different statistics to estimate similarity. Although semantic similarity has become a crucial computational tool in several applications, there has...
