Loss resistance specifically, no. Radiation efficiency, however, yes, and this does change as you add radials.
I have found the document in question... I'll link it here.

Its not a bad document, but irrelevant to the conversation at hand. After all, I'm not referring to models that use the:
Or what modelers today simple call a "Perfect Ground". Every time they mention being over a ground, they are either saying or implying this "infinite, perfectly conducting ground plane" or "Perfect Ground".
I'm curious why you think something like what is written in this document relevant to anything that I have said. Its like you are using a distraction to claim that I am wrong about something.
So what if Mininec was used in a study, that doesn't change the fact that Nec2 has a superior, more accurate engine. OK, sure, someone may have updated X version of the Mininec program in various ways, but when I specifically refer to Mininec, and its Mininec Ground, I am referring to the official release, not updates others may or may not have made since. This is the specific version of the Mininec ground I was referring to in my caution above, and was used by you in another thread to make a claim about one antenna over another that is questionable at best.
And when it comes to the "Mininec Ground" and the "High Accuracy Ground" that I am talking about, neither of them are the "infinite, perfectly conducting ground plane" that is referred to exclusively in said document. Not even close. This also has nothing to do with the known issue of the "Mininec Ground" over-reporting gain.
My conclusion is either you don't understand the document fully, or your reaching for something that isn't there in the hopes that it will shut those up that disagree with you because you think they won't understand it.
