On the basis of a series of reflection measurements on a liquid, parameters are calculated which describe a particle size distribution of particles in t he liquid. In each reflection measurement, a signal beam is generated in the liquid and a value of a property such as the amplitude of a reflection on a particle in the signal beam is measured. Using maximum likelihood estimation , the parameters of the particle size distribution are estimated, on the basis of an expression for a probability of the measured values as a function of t he measured values. The expression used contains a first factor for the probability of a reflection measurement of which a reflection with the measured value forms part, corrected with a second factor for the probabilit y that there is not also a reflection with a dominating value of the property, which would mask the measured values, forming part of the reflection measurement.
