PageRankLive

Presets

PageRank ranks nodes by importance: a page is important if important pages link to it. It is computed by imagining a random surfer who follows links with probability d and jumps randomly otherwise, then finding where they spend the most time. This eigenvector of the link matrix launched Google and now ranks everything from proteins to social influence.

Governing equation

Reading this result: PageRank is the stationary distribution of a random surfer who follows links with probability d and teleports to a random page with probability 1−d. At d=0.85 link structure dominates but teleport still keeps every node reachable.

Presets

Lloyd's algorithm: assign each point to its nearest centroid, then move each centroid to the mean of its members. Repeat until stable. Try setting k different from the true cluster count.

Governing equation

Reading this result: k matches the 4 true clusters, so each centroid can settle onto one real group and inertia falls to a clean minimum.
