Hi, 
    I now want to calculate the FDR of search result which has been 
processed by PeptideProphet.
    I tried probability (the column named probability), but the result is 
weird.
    Then I tried fval and found the number of PSMs (FDR <= 0.01) is very 
close to that produced by expect in X!Tandem or lnEvalue in MSGF+.
    But when I combined the two search results ( X!Tandem and MSGF+ ) using 
InterProphet and calculate the FDR using fval, the number of PSMs is far 
less than that derived from single search engine.
    How this happen? Can anyone explain me this ? And whether the fval 
value can be used to calculate FDR?
    Thanks!

Best
