In simple language I understand Trust rank as trust placed in informative sites that proofs that the site is owned by experts in that specific topic.
So, without taking the mathematics into calculation it is going to be all related to quality informative and educational content - right?
I am also of opinion from what I saw that if you write an article and on page link to (for example) a University publication, white paper or another article discussing the same topic, that page's trust rank will increase - it is kindof substantiating what you say with research.....
If the information is interesting and educational to the visitor they and others in the same industry will value the information and either link to it or as it so happened in one case they used my article to discuss the possibilities surrounding the topic in blog posts.
That provided a lot of trust in what the article was about so that page's rank increased substantially.
Good topic - thanks for raising it.
