Whether the algorithms should try to choose the best peptides based on their peak shape for normalization. Use this option you do not expect all your peptides to be detected in a sample and too many 'bad' peptides enter the outlier removal step (e.g. due to them being endogenous peptides or using a less curated list of peptides).true,false

+++RTNormalizationParameters for the RTNormalization. RT normalization and outlier detection can be done iteratively (by default) which removes one outlier per iteration or using the RANSAC algorithm.
outlierMethoditer_residual
Which outlier detection method to use (valid: 'iter_residual', 'iter_jackknife', 'ransac', 'none'). Iterative methods remove one outlier at a time. Jackknife approach optimizes for maximum r-squared improvement while 'iter_residual' removes the datapoint with the largest residual error (removal by residual is computationally cheaper, use this with lots of peptides).iter_residual,iter_jackknife,ransac,none
useIterativeChauvenetfalse
Whether to use Chauvenet's criterion when using iterative methods. This should be used if the algorithm removes too many datapoints but it may lead to true outliers being retained.true,false
RANSACMaxIterations1000
Maximum iterations for the RANSAC outlier detection algorithm.
RANSACMaxPercentRTThreshold3
Maximum threshold in RT dimension for the RANSAC outlier detection algorithm (in percent of the total gradient). Default is set to 3% which is around +/- 4 minutes on a 120 gradient.
RANSACSamplingSize10
Sampling size of data points per iteration for the RANSAC outlier detection algorithm.
+++algorithmAlgorithm parameters section
stop_report_after_feature-1
Stop reporting after feature (ordered by quality; -1 means do not stop).
rt_extraction_window-1
Only extract RT around this value (-1 means extract over the whole range, a value of 500 means to extract around +/- 500 s of the expected elution). For this to work, the TraML input file needs to contain normalized RT values.
rt_normalization_factor1
The normalized RT is expected to be between 0 and 1. If your normalized RT has a different range, pass this here (e.g. it goes from 0 to 100, set this value to 100)

Stop after reaching intensity ratio
min_peak_width-1
Minimal peak width (s), discard all peaks below this value (-1 means no action).

recalculate_peaks_max_z1
Determines the maximal Z-Score (difference measured in standard deviations) that is considered too large for peak boundaries. If the Z-Score is above this value, the median is used for peak boundaries (default value 1.0).

resample_boundary15
For computing peak quality, how many extra seconds should be sample left and right of the actual peak

Force a certain minimal peak_width on the data (e.g. extend the peak at least by this amount on both sides) in seconds. -1 turns this feature off.
signal_to_noise1
Signal-to-noise threshold at which a peak will not be extended any more. Note that setting this too high (e.g. 1.0) can lead to peaks whose flanks are not fully captured.0:∞
