Abstract
In this study, we derived the posterior probability distribution of the total activity estimated by inverse problem solution. The posterior probability distribution was derived by applying the Monte Carlo approach of the GUM Supplement 1 to the model of evaluation. The decision threshold, the detection limit, and the limits of the coverage interval for the results, all of which are defined in ISO 11929-2 as characteristic limits, were also derived.
