Comparison between the HOD results from Sect. 4.1 and the abundance matching procedure. The top panels show the prediction for the number of central objects as a function of mass, the bottom panels show the projected correlation function. For clarity, only 9 of the 100 HAM predictions are shown. The panels on the left refer to the S0 sample and the ones on the right to the S4 one. The shaded areas denote the results and measurements from the data; the coloured lines show the HAM predictions with different values of the scatter σ_HAM.
