Indistinguishability criterion and estimating the presence of biases

Understand

In these notes, we comment on the standard indistinguishability criterion often used in the gravitational wave community to set accuracy requirements on waveforms.

• Revisiting the hypotheses under which it is derived, we propose a correction to it.
• Moreover, we outline how the approach we proposed in a recent work in the context of tests of general relativity can be used for this same purpose.
