Link Pattern Modeling - I
nMarkov chains model [Sarukkai 00]
nCreate probability distribution about which of the previous links is ‘good predictors’ of the next link.
n
Use Markov chains model and eigen-vector decomposition techniques to make Link prediction and path analysis and to generate hubs
Sarukkai chose Markov chains, which had been enormously successful in sequence matching/generation, as mathematical model.

Sariukkai mentioned that the key of navigation lied in ‘personalization’, and he believed that this approach would lead to a satisfactory solution to navigating the huge World Wide Web.
