Abstract
A method is described for finding the actual line shape of an absorption line, or the Bloch decay, in nuclear magnetic resonance, given only a limited number of moments of the line. The line shape found is the most probable one, given the information available. If only the second moment is known, for example, the most probable line shape is gaussian.
