    Notice that we neglect correlations between different SNIa, which is reflected in the fact that \(\Sigma _C\) takes a block-diagonal form. It would be however very easy to add arbitrary cross-correlations to our formalism (e.g., coming from correlated systematic within survey, for example zero point calibration) by adding such non-block diagonal correlations to Eq. (7.101).
