BoostedPercolator Description

Percolator is a widely employed algorithm for peptide-spectrum match (PSM) evaluation.Percolator uses a semi-supervised learning algorithm to learn a score for each PSM indicating the confidence of the match between the theoretical peptides and the observed spectra. The developers have recently extended the original Percolator algorithm by implementing a cascade semi-supervised learning procedure where the algorithm repeatedly learning using its previous results. This implementation is called "self-boosted Percolator" / BoostedPercolator.Detailed instructions on how to install and use the BoostedPercolator utility on your Mac are available HERE.BoostedPercolator is a cross-platform utility capable of running on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
