Abbreviations: f-f: female self-contained callings; m-m: male self-contained callings; m-f: female reactive callings; f-m: male reactive callings; min τ: minimum inter-event interval (in seconds); max τ: maximum inter-event interval (in seconds); μ τ : mean inter-event interval (in seconds); σ τ : standard deviation of inter-event interval (in seconds); τ min : lower bound for fitting algorithms (in seconds); α: exponent of power-law distribution. (measured value: median (25% quantile); estimated parameter: mean ± SD, n = 22).
