page_rank {igraph} | R Documentation |
Calculates the Google PageRank for the specified vertices.
page_rank(
graph,
algo = c("prpack", "arpack"),
vids = V(graph),
directed = TRUE,
damping = 0.85,
personalized = NULL,
weights = NULL,
options = NULL
)
graph |
The graph object. |
algo |
Character scalar, which implementation to use to carry out the
calculation. The default is |
vids |
The vertices of interest. |
directed |
Logical, if true directed paths will be considered for directed graphs. It is ignored for undirected graphs. |
damping |
The damping factor (‘d’ in the original paper). |
personalized |
Optional vector giving a probability distribution to calculate personalized PageRank. For personalized PageRank, the probability of jumping to a node when abandoning the random walk is not uniform, but it is given by this vector. The vector should contains an entry for each vertex and it will be rescaled to sum up to one. |
weights |
A numerical vector or |
options |
A named list, to override some ARPACK options. See
|
For the explanation of the PageRank algorithm, see the following webpage: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html, or the following reference:

The page_rank
function can use either the PRPACK library or ARPACK
(see arpack
) to perform the calculation.
Please note that the PageRank of a given vertex depends on the PageRank of all other vertices, so even if you want to calculate the PageRank for only some of the vertices, all of them must be calculated. Requesting the PageRank for only some of the vertices does not result in any performance increase at all.
A named list with entries:
vector |
A numeric vector with the PageRank scores. |
value |
The eigenvalue corresponding to the eigenvector with the page rank scores. It should be always exactly one. |
options |
Some information about the underlying
ARPACK calculation. See |
