SYN-GNP	Synthetic, Bernoulli	500	7459	∼ 0.060
SYN-PVX	Synthetic, randomised P. vivax	1000	30516	∼ 0.061

The left-most column corresponds to the names the networks are referred as later in the text. The number of edges and edge density refer to the all scored edges before any threshold is applied to the network
