Comparison of the values of correctly identified disks (Idisk) and mergers (Imerger) along with their associated Ktot (optimal) values when using the “unweighted” and “weighted” methods at low- and at high-z.

Method Idisk (%) Imerger (%) Ktot Idisk (%) Imerger (%) Ktot
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
[case I] [case II]

S08 (obs) low-z 25/34 (74) 16/16 (100) 0.14–0.15 10/13 (77) 16/16 (100) 0.13–0.15
B12 (obs) low-z 27/34 (79) 16/16 (100) 0.19 10/13 (77) 16/16 (100) 0.16–0.19

S08 (sim) high-z 26/34 (76) 15/16 (94) 0.13–0.14 11/13 (85) 15/16 (94) 0.1–0.14
B12 (sim) high-z 26/34 (76) 15/16 (94) 0.14–0.17 11/13 (85) 15/16 (94) 0.11–0.17

Notes. All these values are computed in the cases when, as “true disks”, we assume: [case I] isolated and paired disks; [case II] only isolated disks. In both the cases ongoing and post-coalescence mergers are considered “true mergers”. Column (1): method used: S08 and B12 stands for “unweighted” and “weighted” methods. “obs” and “sim” stand for observed and simulated samples. Column (2): fraction of well-classified disks over total number of disks as defined in Eq. (6). when isolated and paired disks are considered “true disks”. The corresponding percentage is in brackets. Column (3): fraction of well-classified mergers over total number of mergers as defined in Eq. (6). when isolated and paired disks are considered “true disks”. The corresponding percentage is in brackets. Column (4): value of the total (optimal) kinematic asymmetry derived when isolated and paired disks are considered “true disks”. Columns (5–7): the same values as in Cols. (2–4) when only isolated disks are considered “true disks”.
