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% 50\% of the known galaxies in the local group appear in this data set. However, if we divide these galaxies into those
