M_•-M_Bulge diagram for a Monte Carlo simulation of a local AGN sample. The differently sized and coloured symbols correspond to different luminosity limits applied to the sample. Blue, green, red, and yellow symbols show the sample when culled at a bolometric luminosity of l_min = 45, 45.5, 46, and 46.5 in logarithmic units. The solid black line shows the input relation for the sample from Häring & Rix (2004).
