Gas concentrations in complex multi-component mixtures are determined by the method of Bayes estimations of a solution of a system of differential equations of gas analysis. It is shown that such a method allows the determination of gas concentrations for the case when components of a gas mixture have a smooth absorption spectrum without protruding absorption peaks or if concentrations of mixture components differ by some orders of value, whereas methods of the Tikhonov's regularization and search for quasi-solutions give errors amounting to hundreds and thousands percents.
