\subsection{\bf{Analysis}}  The only major  correction so far applied to this distant galaxy data concerns mergers. The local group data is based on galaxies that have not undergone mergers \textbf{is this true} and so to compare these data sets, the effects of mergers must be removed from this data set. To do this, the method described in \cite{Gomez_2015} has been used. Supporting material consisting of graphs showing expected merger rates at various mass ratios and redshifts has also been prepared. The major main  analysis of the local group data was to do with the error bars reported by \cite{Weisz_2014}. These errors follow the conventions specified in \cite{Dolphin_2012} for systematic uncertainties and \cite{Dolphin_2013} for random. However, these uncertainties are extremely conservative and so instead we use the same convention as in \cite{Weisz_2014} which conservatively a relative uncertainty of 50%. We also apply a correction to both the local group and \cite{Whitaker_2014} data to account for mass loss. Both of these methods measure the total mass of stars formed in the galaxy and do not account for stellar death. Much of this death is a result of high mass, short lifespan stars and so we approximate this loss as instantanious with a multiplicative factor of 0.64. As the \cite{Tomczak_2014} data observes the mass of the galaxy rather than calculating it by star formation rates, this factor is not needed there.  Finally, a morphological correction is applied to the local group data. Approximately 50% of the known galaxies in the local group appear in this data set. However, if we divide these galaxies into those
