networkx.pagerank_numpy

pagerank_numpy(G, alpha=0.84999999999999998)

Return the PageRank of the nodes in the graph.

PageRank computes a ranking of the nodes in the graph G based on the structure of the incoming links. It was originally designed as an algorithm to rank web pages.

Parameters:

G : graph

A NetworkX graph

alpha : float, optional

Damping parameter for PageRank, default=0.85

Returns:

nodes : dictionary

Dictionary of nodes with value as PageRank

Notes

The eigenvector calculation uses NumPy’s interface to the LAPACK eigenvalue solvers.

This implementation works with Multi(Di)Graphs.
