Abstract
For count loss correction, the capability of the discriminator, measured periodically, to detect an event is identified. Rather than inserting an actual event or a signal emulating an actual event for discrimination, the capability to discriminate is tested by a virtual injection. The count loss may be directly measured without causing extra actual discrimination by the discriminator. Direct measurement with virtual testing may avoid loss of accuracy due to time and use-case variation.
