The theory itself closes in the high-signal 81 regime; in the threshold band where DET ML = 6–10, an empirical residual calibration absorbs the 82 beyond-Fisher bias and the implementation-dependent o↵set of standalone emldetect. The pipeline- 83 reported detection-likelihood statistic, however, is a nonlinear incomplete-gamma transform of ∆C

Joel 的注释 / Comment
There are some really good things in this section, such as table three, table four, figure three. There is a lot of redundancy here. The backward/forward distinction is made in several places. There is the validation still needed issue that is back in section 5 and also in section 7. There is the disclaimer about the fitted amplitude vs. intrinsic flux, which is in:
- section 2, the intro
- section 6, table 3 note
- section 6.2
- and again in 7
Just pick one location and you can make the rest of it just a clause here and there.

Joel 指出本节有好的内容（Table 3/4, Figure 3），但冗余太多：backward/forward 区分、validation needed、fitted amplitude vs intrinsic flux disclaimer 都重复了。建议：(1) fitted amplitude disclaimer 只在 §2 保留，其余用一句 clause；(2) backward/forward 区分只在一处详述；(3) validation needed 只在 §7 保留。

I like this section a lot, as it discusses how it can be applied, or not applied, to XMM observations and data sets.
