algo.pageRank - Managing ID's that are Strings - Help? Thoughts?

[innosoljim]

Good Day All,

We've had a great deal of success with the APOC procedure "apoc.algo.pageRankWithCypher" below. However, I recently loaded a new data set and discovered there where ()-[p:CONNECTED_TO]-(r) relationships that existed and where not being ranked.

I just read through the community and found algo.pageRank.stream(null, null) - along with a use instructions at - [https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-algorithms/current/algorithms/page-rank/#algorithms-pagerank-limitation...]

He have id's that are strings and we are getting a new error now that we have updated the algo library.

Many thanks in advance, Jim

What exact error are you getting.

And what do you plan to do with the page-rank results from the procedure?

Dr. Hunger! Kidding

(paraphrase)” the id(n) is NULL and cannot equal 0 error.” We realized that we had introduced n.id’s as both integers and strings on a recent client constituent load. We tested a hashing system that will transform the id’s into
integers before Neo.

Think that will fix the error?

We are using the rankings from a number of links such as (actions, relationships, locations, and 2 others) to establish behavior modeling - Seems to work - it’s making a big difference for outreach when we aren’t getting errors!

So then fix your data first?

I still don't really understand what you're trying to explain. Perhaps an example helps?

Michael,

Goal: Use an algorithm that balances for direction, density, and the scale of complexity for sub-sets of past behavior data points to rank people for the given behavior. Use the ranking to target people most likely to respond to outreach.

Example: 250,000 people went to the same University since graduating at various time over the past 50 years an unknown % of them have remained active alumni. While at University all 250,000 developed a digital footprint of location/proximity/affinity/engagement
since graduating a % have continued to develop that same digital footprint to include /social media – interconnection/solicitation response/giving to ability to give/ect. Once the data is in our Constituent Graph schema use rankings to understand who’s the
most “Connected to others” – as you know that’s not always who has the most connections (follower/following imbalance for example). Use similar methods for ranking financial influential using specific gift purpose, gift funds restrictions, type of gift, and
more.

Does this make sense? Thoughts?
