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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 69.3/100, a mean average of 65.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 25.8.

The only girl band I've ever had any time for, because of their accidental rise to pop stardom, with virtually no background in music. They just liked clubbing and having a good time, and singing along to their favourite bands. At first they were loveable amateurs who couldn't believe their luck, and only started to take themselves seriously after two years of incredible success, when a few singles didn't do so well. They also wrote or co-wrote most of their songs, and did everything their own way. Nobody ever told them what to do, or how to act. Complete originals. Siobhan Fahey showed just how talented she was when she went solo with Shakespeare's Sister. (Edited)

Amazing exponents of '80's slutty pop.
