Notes. All the experiments used the same training and test sets of 〈z〉 = 0.23; what was varied were the photometric parameters used for the photo-z derivation, as given in the first column. See text for details of the photometric parameters.

(a)

SMAD is the scaled median absolute deviation, converging to standard deviation for Gaussian distributions.

(b)

BPZ is independent of the training sets – the numbers are given for comparison (for the same GAMA test sample). These statistics are based on the KiDS pipeline solution.

(c)

ANNz2 overall KiDS-DR3 solution from Sect. 4.4 calculated for the same GAMA test set as in all the experiments of this table.

(d)

Errors on all the input parameters were directly used in photo-z derivation instead of relying on the internal error model of ANNz2. See Sects. 2.1 and 5.2 for details.
