Jining- I'd like to submit section 3 for this peer review cycle. General Comments: I am reviewing up to section 3.2 here. Specific Comments: 3, Paragraph 1: Since we want to introduce the term "Galaxy Morphology Evolution", it makes since to put this in the stress position of the first sentence. eg: "The change in a galaxies appearence over time is denoted as galaxy morphology evolution" Overall, good apragraph. INtroduces the reponse (summary statistics) and independent variables. 3, P2: I think this paragraph can be split into three different paragraphs, the first discussing the major problems: eh: Why this isn't just a straightforward regression problem. The next introducing the Bin approach often used by astromers, and finally the continuous approach you used. To me, it seems like there are three different stories in this single paragraph, and splitting it would each the readers burden. 3.1, P1: Maybe make clear that; We need redshift to be continuous in order to deal with uncertainty in its measurements, so we need to convert from the discrete data provided to the full probability density. Also, instead of "some properties of probability distributions", it would help to mention the specific properties. Overall, it would seem like methods would flow better with: Description of discrete Bin, Description of continuous bin. While this description is important to include, maybe it makes more sense as a \subsubsection in the discrete or continuous section, as opposed to it's own. 3.2- Add some text between 3.2 and 3.2.1. Maybe just introduce "This is the method used by astronomers" and explain the rationale and why it's necessary to improve on this. 3.2.1, P1: The goal here is to describe how we assign galaxies into groups. From this, we should put "groups" in the stress position of sentence one: "We want to use the redshift to map galaxies into groups". The confusing part of this sentence reading it without section 1-2, is that I'm unclear what band filter and wavelength's here mean. 3.2: What would make a wavelength "interesting to us"? It may help to include an example here specifying what this means. The rest of the section now specifies precisely how this method assigns galaxies to groups using redshift. Since there's a lot of concrete steps here, it may help to simply set up an algorithm you can point to in the beginning, then readers can read into the details in the remainder. This way, the reader will be prepared mentally to parse the text, since they have an image of the process in mind. 3.2.2: Now that we've assigned galaxies to bins, we can compare the summary statistics across groups (which is the overall goal of the paper). 3.2.3, P1: It seems like the first two sentences should be swapped, since because the assumption of normality is violated, we resort to the bootstrap here. 3.2.3, P2: This shows how to obtain a null distribution and compare with the observed data. You do a good job laying out the assumptions and precisely what this means. My only comment is that a reader would be interested in seeing the results of this test, and a link to the corresponding table/figure would be helpful.
