Comet parameter: minimum_peaks

• An integer value indicating the minimum number of m/z-intensity pairs that must be present in a spectrum before it is searched.
• This parameter can be used to avoid searching nearly sparse spectra that will not likely yield an indentification.
• This parameter is checked against the spectrum after clear_mz_range is applied but before any other spectral processing occurs (i.e. remove_precursor_peak).
• Valid values are any integer number.
• The default value is “10” if this parameter is missing.

Example:

minimum_peaks = 10
