Presented are procedures based on modern Bayesian statistics which are used to calculate characteristic limits, i.e. the decision threshold, detection limit and confidence limit in radioanalytical methods. Indicated are also the key elements of this statistics which can be used for measurement of ionizing radiation. The attached example of instrumental neutron activation analysis provides an illustration of the issues discussed.

PL

Przedstawiono procedury postępowania, oparte na nowoczesnej statystyce bayesowskiej, stosowane do obliczania granic charakterystycznych tzn. progu decyzji, granicy detekcji i granic ufności w metodach radioanalitycznych.Podano także podstawowe elementy tej statystyki w aspekcie jej wykorzystania w pomiarach promieniowania jonizującego. Załączony przykład z instrumentalnej neutronowej analizy aktywacyjnej ilustruje omówione zagadnienie.
