Comet

Comet parameter: num_results

• This parameter controls the number of peptide search results that are stored internally.
• Depending on what post-processing tools are used, one may want to set this to the same value as num_output_lines.
• When this parameter is set to a value greater than num_output_lines, it allows the SpRank value to span a larger range which may be helpful for tools like PeptideProphet or Percolator (not likely though).
• The maximum num_results value possible is hardcoded into Comet and is currently 100.
• Valid values are any integer greater than zero.

Example:
num_results = 10
