diagFDR: Assessing False Discovery Rate Claims in Proteomics

Provides scope, calibration and stability diagnostics to assess false discovery rate (FDR) claims in peptide and protein identification workflows based on target-decoy competition and related confidence measures. Includes the recomputed decoy ratio of the reported list, accepted decoy counts and local decoy support, threshold elasticity, posterior error probability (PEP) concordance with the decoys, equal-chance checks and p-value calibration, with an HTML report.
