MSMFs as fit by single Schechter functions, with the sum of these individual fits compared to the total stellar mass function of Kelvin et al. (2014b), which is also very similar in shape to that of Baldry et al. (2012). Although we do not fit directly to the binned galaxy counts, we show these data counts alongside the fits for illustrative purposes, using common 1/Vmax weights for objects in 0.3 dex stellar mass bins as defined by Lange et al. (2015) and with Poisson error bars on the data counts. Error ranges for the individual MSMF fits are indicated by sampling 1000 times from the full posterior probability distribution of the fit parameters and plotting the resulting sampled mass functions with transparency such that darker regions indicate roughly 1σ uncertainties on the fits.
