Hi John,

Yes, the semi-supervised and semi-paramteric features from Alexey's
papers are implemented.  Specifying a decoy tag to PeptideProphet
makes it semi-supervised and selecting the non-parametric model makes
it semi-parametric; the one remaining parameter in the distributions
is the apportionment  of non-decoy hits among the positive and
negative distributions (which in this mode do not follow the shape of
a predetermined parametric distribution e.g. Gamma for negatives and
Gaussian for positives, but are learned using Kernel Density
Estimates).
