Abstract
Schneider et al. (Reports, 5 January 2018, p. 69) used an ad hoc statistical method in their calculation of the stellar initial mass function. Adopting an improved approach, we reanalyze their data and determine a power-law exponent of 2.05−0.13+0.14. Alternative assumptions regarding dataset completeness and the star formation history model can shift the inferred exponent to 2.11−0.17+0.19 and 2.15−0.13+0.13, respectively.
