Table 7: Distribution of the star formation rate for the FSM and the IRAS sample (computed from the corrected H$\alpha $ emission flux and from the total IR luminosity; only objects classified as "HII region-like'' in Sect. 4.3 have been used). For comparison, the SFR inferred from the IR is also shown for the sub-samples with a measurable H$\alpha $ line.
Star formation rates ($M_\odot /$yr) from corrected H$\alpha $ flux
  sample size average min max
FSM 20 9.7 0.3 39
IRAS 20 37 0.5 440
Star formation rate ($M_\odot /$yr) from IR luminosity
  sample size average min max
FSM 21 41 0.5 990
(with H$\alpha $) 20 41 0.5 320
IRAS 27 65 2.6 1300
(with H$\alpha $) 20 106 5.2 340
