Hi all,
we recently had some problems with PeptideProphet runs where the model 
failed for 2+ ions. Attached is a summary of replicate measurements of the 
same biological sample. The pep3d maps look almost identical (apart from 
the colored probabilities of course) and also the discriminant score 
distributions are very similar. However, in case of replicate B all was 
fine, while for replicate A PeptideProphet is unable to model the 2+ 
peptides. All I found in the command output is "WARNING: mixture model 
quality test failed for charge 2+". When I run PeptideProphet in the 
semi-parametric mode (i.e. reveal the decoy label using the -d option) the 
model works just fine... But usually we want to keep the decoy hits as a 
second level of FDR estimation. 

Anybody experienced something similar, or has ideas why the "model quality 
test" fails and how to improve it?

thanks a lot,
Ulrich
