Hi John,

I didn't implement this part of the code but I can check for you what
is actually being computed as to why I am not as certain.  The
relevant code is in the file MascotScoreParser.cxx in the parse
function.    By reading the code it appears that PeptideProphet on
Mascot compute a  linear correlation between:

 (ionscore - homologyscore) and (ionscore-identityscore)  , using
those results where ionscore > homologyscore

lets call this function

IH(II)


When computing the f-value to model with a mixture distribution for
each spectrum the (ionscore - identityscore) score for a given
spectrum is then computed as MAX { IH(II), II } .  This value is then
linearly scale to get within the range that PeptideProphet models.  It
would be wise on our part to make the output messages less cryptic and
more informative.

Cheers,

-David
