Notes. Columns give the sample (described in Sect. 3); its mean redshift ⟨z⟩ according to the starting distribution N(z); according to the incoherently biased 
or shifted 
distribution; and according to the coherently biased distribution 
(see Sect. 3.1.1); its effective galaxy number density neff per square arc minute; its intrinsic shear dispersion σϵ; its r-band limiting magnitude rlim; and its area in square degrees. Biased redshift distributions and shear dispersion statistics apply only to photometric samples, and the magnitude limits and areas apply for all tomographic subsets of each stage III or stage IV sample. Sects. 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 detail our definitions of shifted redshift distributions, which we use to generate data-vectors in this work.
