Caption: Figure 7.

Cumulative luminosity function of observed stars (orange dashed line) compared to posterior synthetic CMDs (gray lines). The synthetic samples represent 1000 realizations drawn from the posterior parameter distributions. The lower panels show the corresponding differences in cumulative distribution functions: ΔCDF = (observed CDF) − (mean of simulated CDFs).
