Number counts of pBzK galaxies compared with model prediction of Merson et al. (2013) in blue, Menci et al. (2008) in green, Lu et al. (2013) in black, and Somerville et al. (2012) in cyan. Upper panel: mock catalogs from theoretical models (solid colored lines) are convolved with the same photometric errors and incompleteness as affect the data. Points refer to the raw observed counts without any correction for incompleteness. Lower panel: here the theoretical models are shown without any correction, while observed data are corrected for incompleteness as described in the text.
