This analysis uses three different approaches: isobar, $K$-matrix and quasi-model-independent, to describe the $S$-wave component. The results are taken from the isobar model with an additional error accounting for the different S-wave methods as reported in Appendix D of Ref.~\cite{LHCb:2019sus}.
Multiple systematic uncertainties are added in quadrature.

Parameters of interest whose average is determined from individual measurements are called fit parameters. Parameters that are needed by the fit (in particular daughter branching fraction) and whose average is not determined here, but taken from somewhere else (usually PDG) are called external parameters.
