Reporting probabilities of (i) survey reporting, P, (ii) reporting probabilities conditional on mote detection, Ps, and (iii) proportion of differences in mote and survey data due to underreporting, N1'sm-N1sm/N3sm. Percentages for P, Ps, and N1'sm-N1sm/N3sm were calculated for four predefined different contact duration categories and for five different networks (all participating individuals included; only participating individuals with a degree of more than 1, 2, 3, or 4 included), all compared to P values calculated from a previous study [38].
