Post-processing of LC-MS quantitative results
This procedure is used to compute ratios of peptide and protein abundances. Several filters
can also be set to increase the quality of quantitative results.
Here is the description of the parameters that could be modified by the user.
Peptide filters

Use only specific peptides: if checked, peptides shared between different protein
sets will be discarded from the statistical analysis.

Discard missed cleaved peptides: if checked, peptides containing missed
cleavages will be discarded from the statistical analysis. It has to be noted that
perfect tryptic peptides whose sequence is included in an observed missed cleaved
peptide are also discarded if this option is enabled.

Discard oxidized peptides: if checked, peptides containing the Oxidation(M)
modification will be discarded from the statistical analysis. It has to be noted that
non-modified peptides whose sequence is the same than an observed oxidized
peptide are also discarded if this option is enabled.
Peptide and protein common parameters

Normalization: the normalization factors are computed as the median of the ratios
distrubutions between each run and a run of reference. A similar procedure is used
for the normalization of LC-MS features.
Aggregation of peptides in proteins
Peptide abundances can be summarized into protein abundances using several
mathematical methods:

sum: for each quantitative channel (raw file) the sum of observed peptides
abundances is computed

mean: for each quantitative channel (raw file) the mean of observed peptides
abundances is computed

mean of TOP3 peptides: same procedure but applied on the 3 most abundant
peptides. Peptides are sorted by descending median abundances (computed accross
all compared samples for peptide). Then the 3 first peptides are kept.

median: for each quantitative channel, the median of observed peptides abundances
is computed
