Nominal assortativity misses relevant mixing patterns in networks

Caption

(a) Nominal assortativity shows different mixing values for networks that have the same group mixing—a misrepresentation due to group-size imbalance. 

(b) Nominal assortativity is a single-valued measure and ignores asymmetries in group mixing.
