TDAuditor: an identifier to mark spectra that are in the same connected component

[dtabb73]

What is the QC term's name?

an identifier to mark spectra that are in the same connected component

Briefly describe the QC term.

A connected component is a set of clustered MSn scans that all bear similarity to at least another member of the component, and all MSn scans are at least indirectly similar to each other. This field provides a label for this MSn to make it easy to find other MSn scans in this run that are part of the same connected component.

What is the QC term's unit?

I find this a tricky one, because it's not really a QC metric, but rather a label / metadata. So should it instead use the labeling functionality in mzQC and report metrics for spectra in a cluster as a runQuality, and if metrics across different clusters are needed aggregate those in a setQuality?
