A detailed and formal account of polarization measurements using Bayesian analysis is given based on the assumption of gaussian error for the Stokes parameters. This analysis is crucial for the measurement of the polarization degree and angle at very low (and very high) signal-to-noise. The treatment serves as a framework for customized analysis of data based on a particular prior suited to the experiment.
