Table 1: Characteristics (mean and root mean square) of the distribution of $\sigma _{\epsilon }/\sigma _{\Delta m_{\rm true}}$ for the no shift, under- and overestimation scenarios and different assumed errors. The distributions were obtained from 10 000 simulations of SNLS-like data sets consisting of 250 SNe Ia each.
