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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Extraordinaria y emotiva colección de canciones. At Seventeen es un clásico.

Before there was Brittney Spears and Miley Cyrus, there was Janis Ian, a sensation at 16. This album, recorded when she was 24, not only has "At Seventeen", but a bunch of other fine songs.
