Comparison of apparent analytically and numerically calculated L and D, and corrected ones, to their real values for different temporal regimes

τ is the equilibriation time and T the detector exposure time. Parameters without index are real ones. The index “m” denotes an analytically calculated apparent parameter; “m,s” a numerically calculated one. The index “c” denotes a corrected value (ideally equal to the real one) obtained from the numerically calculated one using Eqs. 12, 13, and 6. ND, not determined (because D_2-4 measured in Ritchie et al. (1) cannot be used in this framework).
