PageRank algorithm for sports data

“

- [Instructor] All right, so today, I'm going to talk about PageRank algorithm and how you can do it in Rust, and the PageRank algorithm was first developed by Google to rank webpages based on their relevancy and importance, and I'm going to talk about how the concept of damping is also used in PageRank. You can see this right here, in this struct, I use damping and I also use iterations here. So first up, inside of here, look at the damping factor, and this is accounting for the fact that not all servers will continue clicking indefinitely. So the number of iterations is the number of times an algorithm will run to actually stabilize the rankings. And the other thing that we have as well is a new method here, and this new method will create a new instance of PageRank, and then if we look at the rank method itself, this is where the main algorithm is implemented. It takes a reference to a graph as an argument and it returns back…
