Comparison of projected posterior distributions for parameters Ω_m, S​₈, and A_IA from our analysis (dashed grey lines) based on the KiDS-1000-v2 catalogue, to those from vdB22 (solid orange lines) and A21 (dotted green lines), both of which are based on the KiDS-1000-v1 catalogues. The cosmological inference pipeline and parameter priors are identical across all three analyses presented here. In terms of measurements, vdB22 and A21 used the same shear measurements and calibration, while vdB22 and our analysis share the same redshift calibration. The contours correspond to the 68% and 95% credible intervals and are smoothed using Gaussian KDE with a bandwidth scaled by a factor of 1.5.
