Statistical significance verification via MC simulations. Red points represent the distribution of ΔC-statistic values derived from synthetic datasets, while blue line correspond to the theoretical χ2 distribution with three dof. The vertical black dashed line indicates the observed ΔC-statistic improvement obtained by adding the Gaussian component to the fit. Empirical p-values are calculated directly where the observed statistic falls within the simulated range. For observed values exceeding the simulated distribution, where direct computation is computationally prohibitive, an upper limit of p < 1/N is adopted, where N represents the number of simulations, alongside the theoretical significance.
