Parameter: charge_algorithm

Overview

Determines the algorithm to use to predict the charge of any peak in a spectrum. Different algorithms produce different results and are discussed in the Hardklör manuscript. Senko combines the FFT and Patterson algorithms. If None is set, all charge states are assumed for all peaks, leaving the correct charge state to be determined by the feature-finding components of the algorithm at great computational expense. It is far more efficient to predict charge state prior to identifying features in the spectra.
