The complete universe : probing magnitude completeness and evolution in galaxy redshift surveys

The work in this thesis charts the revival and development of research that tests some of the core fundamental assumptions that characterise the study of magnitude-redshift surveys for the estimation of galaxy luminosity functions (LF). Estimating LFs, either parametrically or non-parametrically, ge...
