For this assignment, you will implement the PageRank algorithm. Use Python version 3.
Part 0. Installing Python Libraries (optional)
You will may need to install python libraries. To manage your Python installations, we recommend pip. Pip is a tool for installing and keeping track of python packages. It is a replacement for easy_install which is included with python. It's a bit smarter than easy_install, and gives better error messages, so you probably want to use it. You can install pip and the two packages we currently need by running these commands:
easy_install pip
pip install -r reqs.pip
Then, you may install other Python libraries such as NumPy by typing ‘pip install numpy’ and nosetests by typing ‘pip install ‘pip install nose’.
Part 1. We provide the following files:
a) problem1~5.py - You will implement several functions containing a comment “INSERT YOUR CODE HERE”. Do not change the input and the output of the functions.
b) test1~5.py - These files include unit tests. Run each file by typing ‘nosetests -v $filename$’ (e.g., nosetests – test1.py) in the terminal in order to check whether all of the functions are properly implemented. No modification is required.
Each number in the file name is corresponding each other. For example, test1.py contains unit tests of problem1.py.
problem1~4.py are mandatory assignment. problem5.py is bonus assignment (if you complete it you will get additional 30 points. i.e., 3% of your final grade).
