Extract

The over-estimation of the flux density of radio sources near the lower limit of a survey has often been considered in the past. The use of digital recording and analysis techniques now enables a quantitative approach to the problem. Monte Carlo techniques may be used to determine the error distribution, including any systematic bias.
