Hi,

Every once in a while I receive an error stating:

Iterations: .Assertion failed: idx < posProbs_->size(), file
Validation/InterProphet/InterProphetParser/KDModel.cxx, line 143

As far as I can tell this means that there aren't enough likely true spectra
to properly model the true and false distributions. Is this the correct way
to interpret the error? In the past I've only seen it when the # of decoy
hits is almost the same as forward hits, so that makes sense to me. Lately
I've had this error pop up when there are thousands more forward hits than
decoys, but only if I use the accurate mass binning model. The program
executes fine and the results look great (3000+ peptides of bait) without
accurate mass binning. We have an orbitrap and I haven't had this issue in
the past. Could this be a sign that our instrument's accuracy is slipping
and needs reconfiguration/maintenance? Could someone give me an idea of how
severely the accurate mass binning model penalizes the mass difference?

I'm using TPP v4.5.0 on a Windows 7 Machine. I've tried combinations of
forcing the distribution fit, and using non-parametric distributions.

Thank you,
