The probability distribution of planet radius correction factors from our Kepler control sample, assuming planets orbit left: the primary or right: the second-brightest star. Blue circles represent the distribution measured from the observed companions, orange squares represent the distribution measured from the simulated, undetected companions, while the black histogram represents a blend of those two distributions averaged in each bin.
