Evolution of the intrinsic galaxy SMF of the total sample, shown as solid lines, across 0.2 < z ≤ 6.5. Maximum a posteriori values are assumed, as listed in Table A.1. The 1σ (2σ) uncertainty according to the variation in the MCMC chains is shown by the dark (light) shaded regions. Extrapolations below the stellar mass limit (Eq. (3)) are shown by the dashed lines, and the uncertainties are indicated by the hatched regions. Observed values for corresponding redshift bins are shown in the matching colour as data points with error bars.
