GrapeRank requires calculations that are about the same level of complexity as PageRank.
There are several ways to implement PageRank, one of which uses matrix algebra. The conceptually easier (but less computationally efficient — which doesn’t really matter for our purposes) doesn’t require any advanced math, although it is tedious to code.
The way I currently calculate GrapeRank is the same: tedious to code but nothing more mathematically complex or advanced than weighted averages.
