Notes. Relative number of simulations that enclose the binary fraction simulated within 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ for different galaxies and methods. Column 1 lists the galaxy; Cols. 2–4 indicate the relative number of galaxies for 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ relatively using the S18 methodology; Cols. 5–7 the same for the methodology proposed in this work.
