Notes. The real value moments are reported and associated with the values obtained from the sky pixelisation method, along with their discrepancies in σ units. The last two columns report the MC 1σ and 2σ (Gaussian-equivalent) confidence intervals.

(a)

Estimated through the sky pixelisation (method 2) in the Gaussian limit ensured by the central limit theorem.

(b)

Estimated through MC simulations (method 1).

(c)

S2 is compared with expectations that modelled observational biases connected with the redshift measurement (Sect. 4.4).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
