TeleportProbability
is an option to PageRanks, PageRankVector, LinkRanks, and LinkRankMatrix that specifies the probability that an internet user may choose to visit a vertex at random instead of choosing an outlink.


TeleportProbability
TeleportProbability
is an option to PageRanks, PageRankVector, LinkRanks, and LinkRankMatrix that specifies the probability that an internet user may choose to visit a vertex at random instead of choosing an outlink.
Details and Options
- To use TeleportProbability, you first need to load the Graph Utilities Package using Needs["GraphUtilities`"].
- Possible values are positive numbers less than 1. The default value is 0.15.
- A smaller value makes the PageRanks a more accurate reflection of a normal internet user's behavior, but also makes the iterative process converge more slowly.
