Figure 3

Relationship between contact duration and intensity. This figure shows the relationship between contact intensity (I, II, III) and duration (six categories). The bar charts result from subtracting the expected values (assuming no relation between intensity and duration of contacts) from the numbers of observations for each possible combination of duration and intensity. Hence, a positive value means that there were more observations of a certain duration-intensity-combination than would be expected if duration and intensity are independent. A negative value means that there were less observations than expected. The value zero means that the expected and observed numbers are the same. Every bar is normalized by the total number of observations for every time category.
