Abstract
Dr. Marshall considers two basic problems in his paper:
1. Designing the collection of data and choosing a decision rule for automatic detection of astronomical sources, by assuming that the distributions of background noise and intrinsic flux S are known.
2. Deconvoluting the observed distribution of measured flux to obtain the distribution of the intrinsic flux, by assuming the known distribution of background noise.
