Rating metrics: 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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

I have developed a complex rating system, which, however, better expresses the qualitative difference between songs, albums and artists.

I evaluate the individual sections of the songs (approx. 20 seconds) and then I make the overall average (from 10 best sections of the song).
= % AVG
but also I make in mPTS, that is why, that the difference between 60% song/album and 80% song/album cannot express the real difference
as good as this expression between albums in mPTS 36 000 mPTS contra 320 000 mPTS
In first case is the 80% album only 1,33x better than the 60% valued album.
In the second case is the 80% almost 9x better than the 60% valued album, and that works better in my opinion.
That´s beacuse, everyone can make 60% valued album, but 80% valued album can do much less artist, and 90% valued album only a few artists.

EXPLANATION:
mPTS = % value x koefizient

100% = koefizient 500
96% - 99% = koefizient 320
90% - 95% = koefizient 160
86% - 89% = koefizient 80
80% - 85% = koefizient 40
76% - 79% = koefizient 20
70% - 75% = koefizient 10
60% - 69% = koefizient 6
50% - 59% = koefizient 5
40% - 49% = koefizient 4
30% - 39% = koefizient 3
20% - 29% = koefizient 2
0% - 19% = koefizient 1

EXAMPLE from this album
4) Alison
AVG: 47,60%
mPTS 2 774
values in %: 52-45-74- 40-41-35- 74-40-35 40
(mPTS= 260+180+740 +160+164+105+740+160+105+160)

100 % AVG is an unrealistic ideal ( 5 000 000 mPTS)
100% AVG is an unrealistic ideal expressed by the AFM (Amount of Maximum) unit.
According to the value of AFM, we know how close it is to the ideal.

100% AVG = 100% AFM (when all parts of all top10 songs on album have 100% value)
80% AVG = 6,4% AFM

this album has ca. 0,25% AFM
