Default Computing Upper-Limits for IRAS...

Hello. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to explain, or point
me to some reference that explains, how to determine the upper-limits for
censored objects in the IRAS surveys.

If I am not mistaken, the running rms was not kept track of because of the
limitations of the system then. So how does one get a good estimate of it?

TIA
