  1. ΔAIC is the AIC value of the Band model minus the AIC value of the Band+Gaussian model. BF is the Bayes factor. Δχ2 is the statistical difference in the goodness-of-fit between the models Band and Band+Gaussian. The \({p\mbox{-}{{\rm{value}}}}_{{{\rm{sim}}}}\) is the chance probability value obtained from 1.00 × 107 simulations. The p-valuesim-trial is the corrected values obtained by accounting for the number of independent search trials based on p-valuesim. The values in parentheses correspond to the Gaussian-equivalent significance.
