Scientific paper

To determine the mass-ratio distribution of spectroscopic binary stars, the selection effects that govern the observations of this class of binary systems are examined. The selection effects are modelled analytically and numerically. The investigations involve binary systems with main-sequence primary components only, to avoid confusion of evolutionary and selection effects.
