Table 1. Characteristics of the empirical networks.
Shown are sizes (number of nodes) of the minority and majority groups regarding a gender attribute (for Brazil, POK, USF51, GitHub, DBLP) and an academic field (for APS), as well as the values of symmetric and asymmetric homophily. Values are rounded to the second decimal point.
