Evolution of the LF parameters as defined in the mock data image (blue solid line) and inferred from the pBIL method in the “Fattening E” population described in Sect. 7.6 (the green dotted line is the mean of the posterior and the shaded area represents the 68% credible region), compared to the direct measurement of the LF obtained per redshift bin and estimated using a V_max weighting, after determination of the photometric redshifts from SED fitting (red dots).
