Bayesian PageRank

Bayesian PageRank extends the classic PageRank algorithm by embedding it within a Bayesian probabilistic framework. Instead of returning a single deterministic rank score for each node, it quantifies uncertainty over rank estimates — particularly valuable when the network is incomplete, noisy, or observed with error. It is used in web analysis, citation networks, and social network research where rank uncertainty matters.
