Table 4

Weighted mean of fit parameters and mean uncertainties for six sets of 100 mocks of increasing realism: Lyα only; including a quasar continuum; including metal absorption (for Met1 or Met2); including HCDs (and Met1) and masking those with NHI> 1020 cm-2 or > 1021 cm-2.

Notes. Fits are over the range 10 <r< 180 h-1 Mpc. The bias parameter, bLyα, refers to the reference redshift z = 2.25. The input values for the mock generation were b(1 + β)Lyα = −0.336 and βLyα = 1.4.
