Notes. The median fit error was calculated based on all the error values for each of the fit parameters. As the fit error bars are asymmetric, the largest of the median values was taken in each case. The median Δ, median absolute deviation (MAD) and median relative error were calculated from the difference between the best-fit result and the “true” value for each parameter. The percentage of outliers was calculated by assuming a normal distribution for the data and identifying the points more than 2 standard deviations away from the mean.
