Motivation
-> Need for PageRank:
The Search engines store billions of web pages which overall contain trillions of web url links. So, there is a need for an algorithm that gives the most relevant pages specific to a query.
-> Need for Distributed Environment( Map-Reduce and Distributed Storage)
• Trillions of links implies huge data storage required. (if each url requires 0.5K, then we need over 400TB just to store URLs!) • Large data set implies large computations
Thus, we handle above issues in our project by using a distributed cluster

Introduction
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the Worldwide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set
The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).
Algorithm
Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page's importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is also taken into account when a page's PageRank is calculated.

The PageRank Equation
Simple Iterative Algorithm
For kth iteration PageRank of ith page is given by:
Here,
The PageRank Equation(Issues and Enhancement)
Problems:
• Rank Sinks or Dangling Pages• Cycles
Solution:
PageRank Equation(Enhancement)
Solution for Cycles and If a random surfer gets bored
Here ‘d ‘ is known as damping factor . It represents the probability, at any step, that the person will continue surfing . The value of ‘d’ is typically kept 0.85
PageRank Equation (finally)
In other words
In a simpler way:- a page's PageRank = 0.15 /N+ 0.85 * (a "share" of the PageRank of every page that links to it) "share" = the linking page's PageRank divided by the number of outbound links on the page. And N= the number of documents in collection
The equation of PageRank shows clearly how a page's PageRank is arrived at. But what isn't immediately obvious is that it can't work if the calculation is done just once.
PageRank Equation-as per the published paper :“The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hyper textual Web Search Engine”-Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page
We assume page A has pages T1...Tn which point to it (i.e., are citations). The parameter d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1. We usually set d to 0.85.. Also C(A) is defined as the number of links going out of page A. The PageRank of a page A is given as follows:
PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))
->Note that the PageRanks form a probability distribution over web pages, so the sum of all web pages’ PageRanks will be one.
IssuesIn the Original Formula
Formula given in the in Page and Brin's paper does not supports the statement that "the sum of all PageRanks is one“
Hence to support the statement the formula is modified as:
PR(A) = (1-d)/N + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))
where N= the number of documents in collection

Module2: PageRank Calculator IssuesCatch22 Situation
Suppose we have 2 pages, A and B, which link to each other, and neither have any other links of any kind. This is what happens:-
Step 1: Calculate page A's PageRank from the value of its inbound links
Step 2: Calculate page B's PageRank from the value of its inbound links
we can't work out A's PageRank until we know B's PageRank, and we can't work out B's PageRank until we know A's PageRank. Thus the PageRank of A and B will be inaccurate.
Module2: PageRank Calculator IssuesCatch22 situation (solution)
This problem is overcome by repeating the calculations many times. Each time produces slightly more accurate values. In fact, total accuracy can never be achieved because the calculations are always based on inaccurate values.The number of iterations should be sufficient to reach a point where any further iterations wouldn't produce enough of a change to the values to matter.
=> Use “delta function” which will keep track of changes in the PageRank of all the pages and if the change in PageRank of all the pages is less than the value specified by the user the iterations can be stopped.

Applications and ExtensionsA simple model of Search Engine. (Implemented)
The application utilizes: 1. The PageRank calculated by the PageRank
Calculator2. The output generated by a map-reduce
module that finds out the number of times a pattern (as per the user’s query) matches in each of the files present in data set.
And outputs:The list of pages which are relevant to the query made in the order of their importance.
(DEMO)
Applications and ExtensionsOther Applications:
• PageRank-based mechanism to rank knowledge items used in E-Learning.
• GeneRank (based on PageRank) ranks the genes analyzed in the microarray to see the relationship between the cell’s function and gene expression.
• Can be used to sort the items present in the side menu in various blogs and sites depending on their importance.
