The vast majority of compact binary mergers in the Universe producegravitational waves that are too weak to yield unambiguous detections; they areunresolved. We present a method to infer the population properties of compactbinaries -- such as their merger rates, mass spectrum, and spin distribution --using both resolved and unresolved gravitational waves. By eliminating entirelythe distinction between resolved and unresolved signals, we eliminate bias fromselection effects. To demonstrate this method, we carry out a Monte Carlo studyusing an astrophysically motivated population of binary black holes. We showthat some population properties of compact binaries are well constrained byunresolved signals after about one week of observation with Advanced LIGO atdesign sensitivity.
