Table 3:

Statistics of star-forming galaxies and narrow-line AGNs among emission-line galaxies for various diagnostics depending on which emission lines are observed (see text for details). The results are presented for the two wide and deep samples used in this paper, and for their union (some objects are in common). We also mention for each sample the total number of objects which includes emission-line, faint and early-type galaxies.
