Here is one hypothesis by an SEO expert:
http://www.seomoz.org/blogdetail.php?ID=1467
Note that PR is not part of that equation.
For higher PR (if you're motivated that way for whatever reason), inbound links are the main factor. Good quality inbound links, although poor quality ones will get you somewhere.
PR is just a number, remember that

back links of almost any kind will help your PR a little , But banklink for sites that deal with same content as your site will help even more and Last but not least Back links from website that are PR5 and higher will help your Page rank most of all...As for me I would rather have a site with low pr in the top ten on the search engines rather than have a high pr site ranking 50th or lower.. In Short build quality back links.

The Google algorithm is very complex one and it has it's own way of calculating which is a secret only Google insiders know about. i think the aim should be in getting just high quality and relevant backlinks which will help in boosting the PR as well as the Google spiders also scan the pages frequently which has good links on it. Getting links from sites which has lower PR than your's is definitely gonna cost the site's ranking so just be cautious about it and stay away from bad neighborhoods.

So you think that sites are penalized for backlinks from sites with low PR??? I can't imagine that that's true. It is not a good thing to be associated with "bad neighbourhoods" but many sites have low PR without being malicious. And you can't exactly control who is linking to you anyway. "Bad neighbourhoods" are sites that are associated with spamming. So don't associate with spammers
(simple enough).
Another thing that is known about Google's algorythm is that they have over 100 ranking factors. It's not just back links. There are a lot of factors that go into it, both on-page and off-page.

No, sites are not penalized for getting quality backlinks from low PR sites but i think if too many backlinks are acquired from sites with low PR then it sometimes affects our site's PR.

Here's another article from SEOmoz which gives about 100 factors that they think influence your ranking in search engines.

Do you have a reference on that at all? Just looking for some verification
It could have some big implications for things like forum sigs, which automatically appear on lots and lots of low PR pages. Or maybe they can tell which ones are sigs and which aren't (surely possible).
I can also see why this would be a problem, because spammy links would appear on a large number of low PR pages.

Aaron Wall posted about something similar to that, but it involves exchanging links. But I remember seeing a video of Rand Fishkin and Stuntdubl and some other guy at PubCon talking about it (I think). I'll see if I can find the video.
EDIT: http://videos.webpronews.com/2006/11/21/pubcon-fishkin-odden-and-malicoat-talk-seosem/
I don't want to watch the whole thing again but they talked about having a natural link profile. If you have a lot of low quality but not very many high quality links it can negatively effect your ranking in the search engines, but "quality" is not easily defined.

Hi,
The only cause of PR though is backlinks. It's a mathamatical forumlar that only uses the PR of pages linking to you to decide your own PR.:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank

IMO relevant and quality baclinks are required to get a high PR.

does PR bring you any traffic?
I'd suggest that you set your goal to obtaining traffic instead of high PR. Having more traffic would mean more business for you. Your PR would also grow naturally since ppl generally link to a well-known, high-traffic site.

That's a very good approach jbladeus. Certainly I agree with your suggestion as you can get multiple benefits by using it.
