Table 9 Average values of the power-law model’s exponent α in the control group and in the treatment group by values of ν ₁ and ν ₂, computed over k≥k _min

Treatment groups, average α	ν ₂ = 0.0	ν ₂ = 0.2	ν ₂ = 0.4	ν ₂ = 0.6	ν ₂ = 0.8	ν ₂ = 1
ν ₁ = 0.0	3.29	3.30	3.30	3.30	3.32	3.30
ν ₁ = 0.2	3.12	3.13	3.13	3.11	3.11	3.09
ν ₁ = 0.4	2.97	2.99	2.97	2.95	2.97	2.98
ν ₁ = 0.6	2.85	2.84	2.87	2.86	2.86	2.87
ν ₁ = 0.8	2.76	2.77	2.77	2.75	2.74	2.77
ν ₁ = 1	2.69	2.69	2.70	2.70	2.69	2.68
Control group, average α: 2.64

We omit the p-values associated to a t-test that α _treatment=α _control, as they are smaller than 0.01 in all cases
