Glossary of symbols and conventions used throughout this paper.

Symbol Signification
Θmodel Variables governing the population of clusters, e.g. cosmological parameters, or (M500, z)
Θsel Variables describing the selection of clusters, e.g. count-rate
Θmeas Variables describing measurement associated to clusters, e.g. measured flux
Icatalogue Boolean (a) random variable indicating the presence of a cluster in a catalogue, e.g. I = 1

IeRASS1 A source appears in the X-ray source detection list, it is detected
Imain A source is detected and classified as extended in the eRASS1 primary cluster catalogue (ℒext > 3)
Icosmo A source is detected and classified as extended in the eRASS1 cosmology catalogue (ℒext > 6)

LX True cluster rest-frame 0.5–2 keV luminosity integrated in a cylinder of radius R500
z True cosmological redshift of a cluster (no peculiar motion)
fX True, noiseless absorbed 0.5–2 keV flux of a cluster within an aperture of radius R500
CR True, noiseless unabsorbed 0.2–2.3 keV count-rate of a cluster within R500 aperture
Texp Local exposure time in the eRASS1 survey
NH Hydrogen column density along the line-of-sight direction
bkg Local background surface brightness in the eRASS1 survey in the 0.3–2.3 keV band
Abridged notation for (NH, Texp, bkg)

Notes.

(a)

Boolean random variables values may be mapped to integers 0 and 1, following usual practice.
