Hello Ankit,

If you computer has the resources to handle all files then running one
iProphet job to combine the results will give you one analysis result with
FDR rates that apply to all the data.  If you do multiple iProphet runs
then you have to be more careful about how you combine the results because
your runs will overlap more in the correct result than the incorrect
results so simply taking all results together above an FDR threshold will
inflate your final FDR.  One easy way to do this is to divide the FDR by
the number of iProphet runs being combined.  For example if you split the
results into two iProphet analyses and you want the combined FDR to be less
than 1% you would filter each iProphet analyses at 0.5% FDR and then take
the total set.  Does that make sense?

Cheers,
-David
