  # }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C computes the pagerank of the all nodes in a graph.
The input can be a list of edges or a L. C is
written entirely in Perl and is not recommended for use in high performance applications.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 C

The method C creates an instance of the C
class with the following parameters:

=over

=item C

 dampeningFactor => 0.85

C is the dampening factor used when computing pagerank. It
must be a value ranging from zero to one; the default is 0.85. Note the
incidence matrix
generated from the graph is multiplied (scaled) by C, I
by C<1 - dampeningFactor>.

=item C

 maxRelError => sqrt (machine-epsilon)

C is the maximum I relative error that is permitted between
successive pagerank vectors before the iterative process to approximate the pagerank vector
should be stopped. The default is the square root of the systems machine epsilon.
Usually, most pagerank values computed will have C<-log10(maxRelError)> digits of accuracy.
C must be positive and less than or equal to 0.01.

=item C

 minIterations => 0

C is the minimum number of iterations that will be computed
before the pagerank iterations are stopped, even if C is achieved.
The default is zero.

=item C

 maxIterations => int (2 * ((maxRelError / ln (dampeningFactor) + 1))

C is the maximum number of iterations that can be performed
to approximate the pagerank vector even if C is not achieved.
The default is C<2 * ((maxRelError / ln (dampeningFactor) + 1)>. If
C is zero, then C is one. If C
is one, then C is equal to the total nodes in the graph.

=item C

 linkSinkNodes => 1

In a directed graph sink nodes are the nodes with no edges emanating out
from them. In the pagerank algorithm these nodes are automatically linked
to all other nodes in the graph. To prevent this set C to zero;
the default is one.

=item C

 directed => 1

If C is true, the pagerank computations are done with the graph
edges being directed. If C is false, the pageranks are computed
treating the graph as undirected; the default value of C is one.

=item C

 useEdgeWeights => 0

If C is true, then any weight associated with an edge is
used in the computation of pagerank. The default weight for any edge without an
assigned weight is one. The default value of C is zero,
which forces all edge weights to be one.

=head1 METHOD

=head2 C

The method C computes the pagerank of each node in the graph.
The graph can be defined using the C parameter or by supplying a list of edges.
All the parameters used by the constructor C can also be set here and they will override
the values used with C. C returns a reference to a hash where the
keys are the graph nodes and the values are the pageranks of the node.

=over

=item C

 graph => Graph

C must be a L object. If the C parameter was not set
with the constructor C or with this method, then C
is set to the value of L->L().

=item C

 listOfEdges => [['a',10],[10,11]]

C must be a list of edges, where an edge is
a pair of strings of the form C<[from-node, to-node]> or a triple of the
form C<[from-node, to-node, numeric-edge-weight]>. Note that C and C can
both be defined, in which case the union of their list of edges is used to compute the
pageranks of the nodes.

=item C

 listOfNodes => ['a',10, 'b']

C is optional but, must be the list of nodes in the graph when provided;
it defaults to all the nodes comprising the edges in C or C.

=item C

  nodeWeights => {}

C is an optional hash reference that can provide a weight for the
nodes. If C is not defined for any node in the graph, then each
node has a weight of C<1/scale(@listOfNodes)>. If C is defined for
at least one node in the graph, then the default weight of any undefined
node is zero.

=head1 EXAMPLES

A rather dull example with one node and no edges:

  use Graph;
  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfNodes = [1];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfNodes => $listOfNodes);
  # dumps:
  # {
  #   1 => 1
  # }

An example of a graph with two components:

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2],[3,4]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges);
  # dumps:
  # {
  #   1 => "0.175438596989046",
  #   2 => "0.324561403010954",
  #   3 => "0.175438596989046",
  #   4 => "0.324561403010954",
  # }

In this case the edges are placed in a L:

  use Graph;
  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2],[3,4]];
  my $graph = Graph->new (edges => $listOfEdges);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (graph => $graph);
  # dumps:
  # {
  #   1 => "0.175438596989046",
  #   2 => "0.324561403010954",
  #   3 => "0.175438596989046",
  #   4 => "0.324561403010954",
  # }

Below is the first example in the paper
I by David Austin.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,4],[3,2],[3,5],[4,2],[4,5],[4,6],[5,6],
    [5,7],[5,8],[6,8],[7,5],[7,1],[7,8],[8,6],[8,7]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    dampeningFactor => 1);
  # dumps:
  # {
  #   1 => "0.0599999994835539",
  #   2 => "0.0675000002254998",
  #   3 => "0.0300000002967361",
  #   4 => "0.0674999997408677",
  #   5 => "0.0974999994123176",
  #   6 => "0.202500001447512",
  #   7 => "0.180000001348251",
  #   8 => "0.294999998045262",
  # }

Below is the second example in the paper. Notice C is
set to zero.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    dampeningFactor => 1, linkSinkNodes => 0);
  # dumps:
  # { 1 => 0, 2 => 0 }

Below is the third example in the paper. Notice in this case
C is set to one, the default value.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    dampeningFactor => 1, linkSinkNodes => 1);
  # dumps:
  # { 1 => "0.33333333209157", 2 => "0.66666666790843" }

Below is the fourth example in the paper. The
result is different from the paper since the starting vector for
L is

  { 1 => "0.2", 2 => "0.2", 3 => "0.2", 4 => "0.2", 5 => "0.2" }

while the starting vector in the paper is

  { 1 => 1, 2 => 0, 3 => 0, 4 => 0, 5 => 0 }.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[5,1]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    dampeningFactor => 1, linkSinkNodes => 0);
  # dumps:
  # { 1 => "0.2", 2 => "0.2", 3 => "0.2", 4 => "0.2", 5 => "0.2" }

Below is the fifth example in the paper.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);

An example of the effect of including edge weights:

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[2,1],[2,3]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges);
  $listOfEdges = [[2,1,2],[2,3,1]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    useEdgeWeights => 1);

  # dumps:
  # all edges have weight 1.
  # {
  #   1 => "0.370129870353883",
  #   2 => "0.259740259292235",
  #   3 => "0.370129870353883",
  # }
  # edge [2, 1] has twice the weight of edge [2,3].
  # {
  #   1 => "0.406926407374432",
  #   2 => "0.259740259292235",
  #   3 => "0.333333333333333",

An example of the effect of including node weights:

  use Graph;
  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my $listOfEdges = [[1,2],[2,3]];
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges);
  dump $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => $listOfEdges,
    nodeWeights => {2 => .9, 3 => .1 });

  # dumps:
  # {
  #   1 => "0.184416783248514",
  #   2 => "0.341171047056969",
  #   3 => "0.474412169694517",
  # }
  # {
  #   1 => "0.135592438389592",
  #   2 => "0.385846009631034",
  #   3 => "0.478561551979374",

A example of the modules speed, or lack of.

  use Graph::Centrality::Pagerank;
  use Data::Dump qw(dump);
  my $ranker = Graph::Centrality::Pagerank->new();
  my @listOfEdges;
  for (my $i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++)
    { push @listOfEdges, [int rand 10000, int rand 10000]; }
  my $startTime = time;
  my $pageranks = $ranker->getPagerankOfNodes (listOfEdges => \@listOfEdges);
  print time()-$startTime . "\n";
  # prints:
  # a non-negative integer after a long time.
