My question is, what approach for computing a (meaningful) LF is best in
this situation? I have been reading many of the major papers on LFs

(Schmidt
1968; Lynden-Bell 1971; Schechter 1976; etc.)...but it has not all fully
digested yet .


We need one additional piece of information. Are these objects and
cosmologically significant distances?



Ah yes, that is important! The objects (type 2 AGN) are fairly local; z
0.03. I am dealing with cm wavelength.

Thanks
