Scientific paper

We have investigated two biases in the BATSE 1024 ms burst trigger using Monte Carlo simulations of burst time histories. The peak counts bias, which arises from statistical fluctuations in the count rates, results in an average overestimate of the on-board peak rate by ~8%. The slow riser bias, which arises from errors in the on-board calculation of background, results in an average underestimate of the on-board peak rate by ~5%. .
