Erratum: An information theory based search for homogeneity on the largest accessible scale [MNRAS, 464, 1481, (2017)]

Abstract

The paper 'An information theory based search for homogeneity on the largest accessible scale' was published in MNRAS, 463, L12 (2016).We identified a typographical mistake in Section 3.1, where we discuss the construction of the quasar sample. In the following sentence 'We find that the coefficients a = 24.206, b = 194.325, c = 511.413, d = 467.422 produces a quasar sample consisting of 24 213 quasars which has less than 30 per cent variation (Fig. 1) in number density around the mean in the entire redshift range', we made a typographical mistake while presenting the values of the coefficients. The values of the coefficients used for the construction of our quasar sample were: a = 24.206, b = -194.325, c = 511.413, d = -467.422. The signs of the parameters b and d are negative whereas we presented them as positive in the published version of the manuscript. Please note that this was a typographical mistake and all the results and conclusions presented in this paper remain unchanged.
