Complementary cumulative distribution functions for recovered flare energies in denoised light curves. We separate flares into simple events (blue) and individual components of complex flares (orange), as well as flares from partially (green) and fully convective stars (purple). The full flare sample is displayed in black. Observed distributions, power-law fits, and log-normal fits are displayed with solid lines, dashed lines, and dotted lines, respectively. The grey dashed vertical lines indicate the energy of 90% recovery (t₃) and the beginning of the energy range used for fitting. In each panel, the legend indicates the log-likelihood ratio R between the power-law and log-normal fits and its associated p-value.
