We present a Bayesian approach to the redshift classification of emission-line galaxies
when only a single emission line is detected spectroscopically. We consider the case of
surveys for high-redshift Lyα-emitting galaxies (LAEs), which have traditionally been
classified via an inferred rest-frame equivalent width (EW; ${W} _ {\mathrm {Ly}\alpha} $
