Parameter: e_value_depth

Overview

Specifies the minimum number of tests to be present in the histogram for e-value calculations. A larger number better resolves the histogram and improves the e-value estimation for the peptide sequences in each spectrum. However, larger numbers also increase computation time.

SPECIAL NOTE This parameter is currently being evaluated, and may change or be eliminated. A default value of 5000 is used if not explicitly defined by the user. It is currently recommended to use values of 2000 to 10000.
