Impact of the TSR and the SSR on the radial profile of the VIPERS galaxy samples. In the bottom panel we plot the relative difference of the V_max fits to the redshift distribution after applying the correction to the same obtained from the observed histogram. Dashed, dotted, and solid lines give the results for W1, W4, and the combined measurement, respectively. The smoothed radial profile is estimated using the V_max method. While the TSR does not affect the redshift distribution, the SSR enhances the number counts at z> 0.95.
