ConsensusID Parameters

Parameters of ConsensusID:

NameTypeDefaultRestrictionsDescription
algorithmstringrankedranked, merge, average, probabilityAlgorithm used for the consensus scoring.
merge -- merges the runs with respect to their score. The score is not modified. Make sure to use PeptideIdentifications with the same score type only!
ranked -- reorders the hits according to a consensus score computed from the ranks in the input runs. The score is normalized to the interval (0,100). The PeptideIdentifications do not need to have the same score type.
average -- reorders the hits according to the average score of the input runs. Make sure to use PeptideIdentifications with the same score type only!
probability -- calculates a consensus probability by multiplying the probabilities for each peptide obtained from the individual search engines. Make sure to use PeptideIdentifications with score types converted to probabilites only!
considered_hitsint10min: 1The number of top hits that are used for the consensus scoring.
number_of_runsint0min: 0The number of runs used as input. This information is used in 'Ranked' and 'Average' to compute the new scores. If not given, the number of input identifications is taken.
min_number_of_enginesint2min: 2The minimum number of search engines used to generate peptide lists
