Scientific paper

The field luminosity function for five magnitude-limited redshift surveys has been assessed using maximum-likelihood estimators and a likelihood-ratio test. Results have been compared against Monte Carlo simulations, showing that the luminosity functions from the Anglo-Australian Redshift Survey (Peterson et al., 1986), the Kirshner et al. (1978, 1979) survey, and the Kirshner et al. (1983) survey are compatible with Schechter functions, and that the luminosity function of the Center for Astrophysics survey (Huchra et al., 1983) is not. Schechter function parameters to describe the field luminosity function have been obtained.
