Characteristic parameters of the Individual-Based Model that best reproduce the experimental observations. The values for the parameters pinf(1), pinf(2) and pfall were set through the optimization of the likelihood of the model outcome to experimental data. Significance of the obtained results was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff (KS) test; the presented values show the probability of obtaining better results with the null hypothesis.
