Trace the temporal network of potential contaminations by sampling the relevant time scale from the same distribution.
@buergerm I think it would be problematic for our intended comparison if we restricted ourselves to the edges where contamination actually took place because this depends on the actual epidemic instead of just the decontamination time. To avoid having a separate fixed parameter for that time scale though, I sample the duration of which a colocation of two insects at the same flower is consider a potential transmission from the same distribution.
Maybe you could give this a try as well? I think it is the better solution in the long run even though it will produce vastly more data than !133 (merged).
