External Comparison with VVDS

All measurements 737 629 85.3% 0.00093 0.00066 198 26
Both flags 3, 4 358 350 97.8% 0.00083 0.00059 177 40

External Comparison with BOSS

All measurements 747 736 98.5% 0.00064 0.00045* 136* −108
VIPERS flags 3, 4 690 684 99.1% 0.00061 0.00043* 130* −113

Notes. This is probably an underestimate of the uncertainty on the VIPERS side, because the assumption of uncertainty equipartition does not fully apply in the BOSS comparison.
