A significant analysis was also performed on the errors on the local group data reported by \cite{Weisz_2014}. These errors were calculated using methods defined in \cite{Dolphin_2012} (systematic) and \cite{Dolphin_2013} (random) but are considered extremely conservative. A method to determine a more reasonable set of uncertainties was not found and so we adopt the convention used in a later paper by Weisz,  The 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_2}  \cite{Weisz_2014} which conservatively a relative uncertainty of 50\%.
