Thanks for the response!
To be honest, the version of PageRank we were introduced to in class had those preconditions (binary links and no self-linking) and I assumed they were standard. I did mention I didn’t research other versions of the algorithm, and I see those things are optional then.
I also kept the surfer out of the explanation, and used a very high probability of the surfer not jumping randomly (.999) to diminish its impact for this analysis.
Thanks for your time!
