Scientific paper

A probabilistic method for determining the significance of the cross-correlation method is applied to the measurement of AGN emission-line region sizes. The calculated cross-correlation peak distribution function allows the probability of obtaining a certain value for the broad-line region dimensions from cross correlation to be estimated. The method is applied to previous data for Akn 120 and NGC 4151.
