      abstract     = {The Neutrino Mass Ordering (NMO) remains one of the
                      outstanding questions in the field of neutrino physics. One
                      strategy to measure the NMO is to observe matter effects in
                      the oscillation pattern of atmospheric neutrinos above $\sim
                      1\,\mathrm {GeV}$, as proposed for several next-generation
                      neutrino experiments. Moreover, the existing IceCube
                      DeepCore detector can already explore this type of
                      measurement. We present the development and application of
                      two independent analyses to search for the signature of the
                      NMO with three years of DeepCore data. These analyses
                      include a full treatment of systematic uncertainties and a
                      statistically-rigorous method to determine the significance
                      for the NMO from a fit to the data. Both analyses show that
                      the dataset is fully compatible with both mass orderings.
                      For the more sensitive analysis, we observe a preference for
                      normal ordering with a p-value of $p_\mathrm {IO} = 15.3\\%$
                      and $\mathrm {CL}_\mathrm {s}=53.3\\%$ for the inverted
                      ordering hypothesis, while the experimental results from
                      both analyses are consistent within their uncertainties.
                      Since the result is independent of the value of $\delta
                      _\mathrm {CP}$ and obtained from energies $E_\nu \gtrsim
                      5\,\mathrm {GeV}$, it is complementary to recent results
                      from long-baseline experiments. These analyses set the
                      groundwork for the future of this measurement with more
                      capable detectors, such as the IceCube Upgrade and the
                      proposed PINGU detector.},
