This util is deprecated and might behave not as expected!

So far an estimation of the false score distribution with a gamma distribution and the correct score distribution with a gaussian distribution is performed. The probabilities are calculated using Bayes law, similar to PeptideProphet. This implementation is much simpler than that of PeptideProphet.

Note
Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

IDDecoyProbability -- Estimates peptide probabilities using a decoy search strategy.

Usage:
  IDDecoyProbability <options>

This tool has algorithm parameters that are not shown here! Please check the ini file for a detailed descript
ion or use the --helphelp option.

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>         Identification input of combined forward decoy search (reindex with PeptideIndexer first
                     ) (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -fwd_in <file>     Identification input of forward run (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -rev_in <file>     Identification input of decoy run (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -out <file>*       Identification output with forward scores converted to probabilities (valid formats: 
                     'idXML')
                     
                     
Common UTIL options:
  -ini <file>        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>  Writes the default configuration file
  --help             Shows options
  --helphelp         Shows all options (including advanced)

The following configuration subsections are valid:
 - decoy_algorithm   Algorithm parameter subsection

You can write an example INI file using the '-write_ini' option.
Documentation of subsection parameters can be found in the doxygen documentation or the INIFileEditor.
