Top row: Example of a comparison between the incident (black) and simulated (red) spectra for a type 1 (left) and a type 2 (right) AGN around the Hα region. The inset plot is a zoom-in of a continuum (emission line free) region. Bottom row: distribution of the ratios of the median flux value (i.e., the median of the observed flux of the total spectrum) of the incident and simulated data for both type 1 (black) and type 2 (blue) AGN. The median values for the two distributions are also reported. The percentage error on the distributions of the spectrum flux median values are computed as $1.253\sigma /\sqrt{N}$, where σ and N represent the standard dispersion of the distribution and the number of objects, respectively.
