scoring, minimum ion count

# scoring, minimum ion count ## Syntax The value is a positive integer. ## Notes No error message is generated if an uninterpretable value is entered. If no value is present, the default value is 4. ## Description Practically, there is some minimum number of assignable sequence-specific ions in a spectrum that is necessary to consider the spectrum as a match to a peptide sequence. The value of this parameter sets the minimum number of total ions that must be assigned for a score to be calculated and stored in the scoring histogram structure used by TANDEM to track the statistical nature of the stochastic distribution. see also: scoring, y ions | scoring, b ions X!
