Lesion spreading distance.
(A) Mean distance where lesions appear as a function of the dispersion parameter, β ∈ [0, 0.3] mm-1. Due to the quantization of the space, for β > 0.3 mm-1 the probability that the lesion appears at the nearest terminal is very high and the value is a constant. (B) Density of probability of new lesions spreading with β = 0.08 mm-1.
