Best-fit parameters to the CMF of the ℓ = 30° and ℓ = 59° fields, for the lognormal distribution and the PDF and MLE methods.

Region	PDF best-fit		MLE^a		MLE with KS

	μ	σ	μ	σ	μ	σ	M _inf	M _sup

ℓ = 59°	0.54	1.2	1.1	2.6	0.53	1.9	0.5	10.8

Notes. The PDF best-fits are shown in the right panels of Fig. 4.

^(a)

We arbitrarily chose M_inf = 1 M_⊙ and M_sup = 500 M_⊙ for the ℓ = 30° region, and M_inf = 0.1 M_⊙ and M_sup = 60 M_⊙ for ℓ = 59°.
