%X In this paper, we investigate the modification of our expressions developed for the model-independent data analysis procedure of the reconstruction of the (time-averaged) one-dimensional velocity distribution of Galactic Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with a non-negligible experimental threshold energy. Our numerical simulations show that, for a minimal reconstructable velocity of as high as O(200) km/s, our model-independent modification of the estimator for the normalization constant could provide precise reconstructed velocity distribution points to match the true WIMP velocity distribution with a <~ 10% bias.
