Comparison of δ^R and δ^V on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis. Results are shown for the cylindrical filter with radius corresponding to the fifth, tenth, and twentieth n.n. for the redshift bin 0.65 <z< 0.8. The density is computed using flux-limited tracers (left) and volume-limited tracers with M_lim = −20.4 (right). x-axis: density contrast in the Vmocks; y-axis, top panel: density contrast in the Rmocks; y-axis, bottom panel: difference of the logarithms. The thick lines are the median value of the quantity displayed on the y-axis in each x-axis bin. Thin lines represent the sixteenth and eightyfourth percentiles of its distribution. The solid black line in the top panels is the one-to-one line, and the horizontal lines in the bottom panels are for reference.
