Exploration of the Google PageRank Algorithm

Hey Mike - can you give me some details on the examples you're playing with? If I get around to it, I was going to see about including some canned examples to maybe show/disprove how things like that work (at least with this version particular of the algorithm). The inclusion of the dangling nodes matrix and that extra all-ones one can make it trickier to predict what will happen.

I built a basic pyramid and then tinkered w/ variations from that.

Thanks Mike. I've been playing with small networks as well (partly to confirm things working correctly) - wrote up a few notes on one little one with slightly counter-intuitive behavior - http://www.nowherenearithaca.com/2013/05/google-pagerank-eva...

That's interesting!

Sadly, it does remind me of how much math/engineering I've forgotten since I graduated.

Are you still a student?

Hi Mike

thanks for taking a look at that. Linear algebra/eigenvector/eigenvalue stuff is useful and usually fairly (re-)approachable.

I am a student of interesting things :)
