Bayesian signal analysis (BSA) is a method designed to be optimal for analyzing a relatively short time series, which method can work with a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) as low as 0.6. No apriori hypotheses are made about the actual series belonging to any hypothetical ensemble or infinite series; only the given data are used to find the probability of some a priori signal being contained in the data. A measure of the analysis accuracy of the estimate can also be obtained.
