Table 2 Empirical fittings of the completeness of trajectories. Fitting quality of six standard long-tailed distributions to the empirical PDF of trajectory completeness, in terms of \(R^{2}\) and \(D_{\mathrm{KS}}\). Rows refer to different combinations of observation period \(\mathcal{T}\) and time resolution τ. Best-fit \(R^{2}\) and \(D_{\mathrm{KS}}\) are highlighted in bold
