Before you start
Rank the nodes of a directed graph with PageRank, using power iteration.
PageRank imagines a surfer who follows a random outgoing link with probability
d, and jumps to a random node with probability 1 - d. A node's rank is the
long-run fraction of time the surfer spends on it. Being linked from important
nodes makes a node important.
A[i, j] = 1 means there is a link from node i to node j. Start with
r = 1 / n everywhere and repeat:
r_new[j] = (1 - d) / n + d * ( sum over i linking to j of r[i] / out_degree[i]
+ sum over dangling i of r[i] / n )
A dangling node has no outgoing links. Its rank is spread evenly over all
nodes, so that no rank is lost. Stop when the sum of absolute changes is below
tol.
def pagerank(A, d=0.85, tol=1e-10):
Input
A = np.array([[0, 1, 1],
[0, 0, 1],
[1, 0, 0]])
pagerank(A)
Output
array([0.38778971, 0.21481063, 0.39739966])
Reasoning
Node 2 is linked from both other nodes, so it ranks highest. Node 0 has only one incoming link, but that link is the only one leaving node 2, so node 0 gets all of node 2's rank and ranks nearly as high. Node 1 gets only half of node 0's rank.
d = 0 every node has rank 1 / n.Check runs the visible cases against a fresh kernel. Submit runs the hidden ones too.
