Notes. The upper index in the first column refers to the selection criteria for the corresponding subsamples:

(a)

z < 0.35, S/N > 3;

(b)

all galaxies with S/N > 3;

(c)

data from Chang et al. (2015) with flag = 1;

(d)

low-z galaxy sample (z < 0.3).

The number of objects used for the statistics is given in brackets.
