Comparison of the KiDS-Bright photometric redshifts with the overlapping GAMA spectroscopic data. Left: direct spectro-z – photo-z comparison. The thick red line is the running median of the function z_phot(z_spec) and the thin red lines illustrate the scatter (SMAD) around the median. The black dashed line shows the identity. Right: comparison of redshift distributions of the GAMA spectroscopic training set (red bars), photo-zs for the common KiDS × GAMA sources (blue dashed line), and the full KiDS-Bright photo-z sample (black line). The histograms are normalized to the unit area.
