Calculating Popularity Using a Simple Algorithm

Authors: Gananath R, Sreenath R

The quality of being liked or accepted by peoples is called as popularity. Popularity is calculated by different methods according to the area of application. To calculate the popularity of websites in internet; methods like ‘Click Popularity’ and ‘Link Popularity’ were used. Developmental Psychologist uses sociometric tests to calculate popularity among peer groups. In this paper we have formulated a simple algorithm through which popularity of a candidate can be calculated and also we carried out monte carlo simulation studies of the algorithm. Popularity of either living or nonliving (eg: a commercial product) candidates can be measured using this algorithm.
