Main sequence slope (first column) and scatter (second column) derived using the different fitting methods; namely, lmfit, assuming symmetric errors (top), emcee, considering asymmetries (middle), and scipy.optimize (bottom), fitting the data to a straight line. In each subplot, blue colors show the evolution of the parameters for the low-M_★ regime (i.e., below the CANDELS M_★ limits), whereas black represents our findings for the overall M_★ regime. Colors are more intense up to z ∼ 5, where we have the means to explore ≲10^8.5 M_★ objects with an SFR and mass-complete sample. At higher z, the low-M_★ sample is not actually probing the physical low-M_★ regime; the sample is dominated by the high-M_★ end. The values here represented can be consulted in Table 3.
