A Study of Link Analysis Using Components, Issues, Algorithms, Applications and Tools

Abstract

Link Analysis is a data-analysis technique in Network theory used for evaluating relationships between nodes. The relationships between various types of nodes can be identified as people, property and transactions. This paper focuses on the study of Link Analysis components like Link generation, Explicit and Aggregate links and Infrared relationships. Also, this paper discusses Link Analysis Algorithm, like PageRank, Weighted PageRank and HITS. In addition to that, tools and applications used in Link Analysis research is also presented in this paper.
