Assuming a Schechter luminosity function form, we infer (at the 95% confidence level) that the characteristic FRB event rate density at the upper cut-off luminosity $L^*=2. 9_{-1. 7}^{+11. 9}\times10^{44}\,\rm erg\, s^{-1}$ is $\phi^*=339_{-313}^{+1074}\,\rm Gpc^{-3}\, yr^{-1}$, the power-law index is $\alpha=-1. 79_{-0. 35}^{+0. 31}$, and the lower cut-off luminosity is $L_0\le9. 1\times10^{41}\,\rm erg\, s^{-1}$.
