Statistics of real networks. a Degree Distributions. We see that all networks have heavy-tail degree distributions, but we note that the minority group in APS has a much shorter tail. b Basic Statistics. The table lists basic statistics, including node composition, average and maximum degree, edge composition, dyadicity and heterophilicity scores for the three networks. Github has the lowest proportion of minority nodes, while APS has the highest proportion of minority nodes. DBLP has the highest average and maximum degree. All the networks have dyadicity greater than 1 and heterophilicity less than 1, indicating homophilic behavior. Among them, APS has the highest dyadicity value and the lowest heterophilicity value. c Social Captial Equality Measures. The Earth Mover Distance of the three networks are all positive, indicating that the degree distribution is different between the groups. APS has the highest Earth Mover Distance. All networks have power inequality less than 1, indicating that minority groups have a lower average degree. For the moment glass ceiling, GitHub is slightly higher than 1, but the other two networks both have a moment glass ceiling lower than 1, indicating that there are fewer minority nodes as hubs
