a Direct fitting methods: \({\hat{\alpha }}_{{{{{{{{\rm{H}}}}}}}}}\left[k(m)\right]\) and \({\hat{\alpha }}_{{{{{{{{\rm{gH}}}}}}}}}\left[k(m),j=100\right]\). b Modeling approach results as a function of the upper cutoff M (all observations below M were taken into account). The blue circles indicate the estimates that were accepted at a 5% significance level by a binomial test, the estimates denoted by yellow circles were rejected (see Supplementary Note 1).
