Uncertainty contours at the 68 per cent confidence level for fits to the early-type (bold contours) and late-type (light contours) LF in individual redshift bins over the range 0.1 ≤z < 1.2. For the early-type LF, we see no evidence for an evolution of M*, while Φ* exhibits considerable scatter, which may be associated with known density inhomogeneities in the E-CDFS. The late-type LFs exhibit a strong covariance between M* and Φ* and populate a sequence ranging from faint M*/high Φ* at low to bright M*/low Φ* at high redshift, attesting to evolution in at least one parameter. Dots and crosses illustrate how variations in the constant high- and low-redshift LF parameters may propagate into the recovered LFs.
