Configuration
Damping Factor Guidelines
- 0.85: Standard web PageRank (Google's original value)
- 0.9: Citation networks, academic papers
- 0.8: Social networks, recommendation systems
- 0.7: Link farms detection (lower damping reduces manipulation)
- 0.95: Transportation networks, infrastructure graphs
Convergence Parameters
- epsilon: Convergence tolerance
- 1e-6: Standard precision
- 1e-8: High precision for critical applications
- 1e-4: Fast approximation
- maxIterations: Maximum iteration limit
- 100: Small graphs (<10k nodes)
- 500: Medium graphs (10k-100k nodes)
- 1000+: Large graphs (>100k nodes)
Graph Format Guidelines
- Dense format: Small, fully-connected graphs
- COO format: Large sparse graphs (recommended for >10k nodes)
- CSR format: Extremely large graphs with efficient memory usage
