Generalisation for sets of nodes
We generalise map equation centrality and derive the expression in Eq. 12 that can be used to calculate the combined centrality for sets of nodes U. We follow the same approach as before, that is, we first derive an expression for the expected per-step codelength when silencing all nodes in U while using the old coding scheme; then we derive an expression for for the expected per-step codelength when designing a new coding scheme that does not assign codewords to nodes in U to start with.
Let (G = left( V, E, delta right)) be a network with nodes V, links E, weights (delta), (U subseteq V) be a set of nodes, and (p_U = sum _{u in U} p_u) be the visit rate sum of nodes in U. Further, for a module ({mathsf {m}}), let (p_{{mathsf {m}} cap U} = sum _{u in {mathsf {m}} cap U} p_u) be the visit rate sum of nodes that are members in ({mathsf {m}}) and in U, and let (P_{{mathsf {m}} cap U} = left{ p_u ,|, u in {mathsf {m}} cap U right}) be their set of visit rates.
We begin with the one-level partition ({mathsf {M}}_1) and obtain the expected per-step codelength for describing a random walk with nodes in U silenced while using the old coding scheme. Removing the silenced nodes from the summation in Eq. 1, we get
$$begin{aligned} L^Uleft( G, {mathsf {M}}_1right) = – sum _{v in V setminus U} p_v log _2 p_v. end{aligned}$$
(13)
We obtain the codelength for a new coding scheme that does not assign codewords to nodes in U by re-normalising the visit rates for the remaining nodes with (1-p_U,)
$$begin{aligned} L^{U*}left( G, {mathsf {M}}_1right) = – sum _{v in V setminus U} p_v log _2 frac{p_v}{1 – p_U}. end{aligned}$$
(14)
The difference between Eqs. 13 and 14 is the joint map equation centrality score of the nodes in U under ({mathsf {M}}_1,)
$$begin{aligned} uplambda left( G, {mathsf {M}}_1, Uright)&= L^Uleft( G, {mathsf {M}}_1right) – L^{U*}left( G, {mathsf {M}}_1right) nonumber \&= – left( 1-p_Uright) log _2 left( 1 – p_Uright) . end{aligned}$$
(15)
For two-level partitions, we begin by rewriting the map equation (Eq. 2) to distinguish explicitly between modules that have an overlap with U and those that do not,
(16)
The codelength for describing a random walk in partition ({mathsf {M}}) with nodes in U silenced when using the old coding scheme is
(17)
With a new code that does not assign codewords to nodes in U and that normalises accordingly, the codelength is
(18)
The difference between Eqs. 17 and 18 is the joint map equation centrality of the nodes in U under ({mathsf {M}},)
$$begin{aligned}uplambda left(G, {mathsf{M}}, Uright) &= L^Uleft( G,{mathsf {M}}right) – L^{U*}left(G,{mathsf{M}}right) \&= – sum limits _{{{mathsf {m}} in {mathsf {M}}, {mathsf {m}} cap U ne emptyset }} left( p_{mathsf {m}} – p_{{mathsf {m}} cap U}right) log _2 frac{{p_{mathsf{m}} – p_{{mathsf {m}} cap U}}}{{p_{mathsf{m}}}}. end{aligned}$$
