Variation in the best-fit double Schechter function resulting from three different parameterisations of the uncertainty in ℳ used for the Eddington bias kernel (Eq. (11)) at 1.1 < z ≤ 1.5. The shape of the kernel according to each parameterisation is shown in the inset plot, with the corresponding parameter values annotated above in matching colours. The resulting intrinsic (solid) and observed (dotted) galaxy SMF is shown for each case, with the value of the best-fit characteristic mass (ℳ★) annotated and given by the vertical dashed lines. The treatment of the Eddington bias significantly affects the inferred intrinsic galaxy SMF.
