## Semantic Similarity Between Two Gene Clusters

### Description

Given two gene clusters, this function calculates semantic similarity between them.

### Usage

    clusterSim(
      cluster1,
      cluster2,
      semData,
      measure = "Wang",
      drop = "IEA",
      combine = "BMA"
    )

### Arguments

`cluster1` | A set of gene IDs.
`cluster2` | Another set of gene IDs.
`semData` | GOSemSimDATA object
`measure` | One of "Resnik", "Lin", "Rel", "Jiang" and "Wang" methods.
`drop` | A set of evidence codes based on which certain annotations are dropped. Use NULL to keep all GO annotations.
`combine` | One of "max", "avg", "rcmax", "BMA" methods, for combining semantic similarity scores of multiple GO terms associated with protein or multiple proteins assiciated with protein cluster.

### Value

similarity
