The gateway coefficient G_i of vertex i is:
G_i = 1 - ∑_{S=1}^{N_M} ≤ft ( \frac{κ_{iS}}{κ_i} \right )^2 (g_{iS})^2
where κ_{iS} is the number of edges from vertex i to vertices in module S, and κ_i is the degree of vertex i. N_M equals the number of modules. g_{ii} is a weight, defined as:
g_{iS} = 1 - \bar{κ_{iS}} \bar{c_{iS}}
where
\bar{κ_{iS}} = \frac{κ_{iS}}{∑_j κ_{jS}}
for all nodes j in node i's module, and
\bar{c_{iS}} = c_{iS} / max(c_n)
The participation coefficient P_i of vertex i is:
P_i = 1 - ∑_{s=1}^{N_M} ≤ft ( \frac{κ_{is}}{κ_i} \right )^2
where κ_{is} is the number of edges from vertex i to vertices in module s, and κ_s is the degree of vertex i. N_M equals the number of modules.
As discussed in Guimera et al., P_i = 0 if vertex i is connected only to vertices in the same module, and P_i = 1 if vertex i is equally connected to all other modules.
The within-module degree z-score is:
z_i = \frac{κ_i - \bar{κ}_{s_i}}{σ_{κ_{s_i}}}
where κ_i is the number of edges from vertex i to vertices in the same module s_i, \bar{κ}_{s_i} is the average of κ over all vertices in s_i, and σ_{κ_{s_i}} is the standard deviation.
A vector of the participation coefficients, within-module degree z-scores, or gateway coefficients for each vertex of the graph.
