Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 67.5/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

“1. Worthwhile avant-garde classical music from one of its masters. Very good composition, and very good playing by Ajemian. It's quite mellow, but it remains compelling and unpredictable throughout. I somewhat prefer the interludes to the sonatas. 3.5/5. ~~~~~ 2. Ghost Tropic interests me the most.…”

Absolutely beautiful, surprisingly tuneful, wonderful. Great music for focused spacing out. (Edited)
