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 72.7/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 25.3.

A great singer, who has made albums in all types of genres, pop, country, rock, folk and she made 3 albums with Nelson Riddle before he died (Whats New, Lush Life & For Sentimental Reasons). Her best albums are from the 1970's when she made a string of great albums containing a mix of country pop and rock tracks her albums with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris are also worth a listen. It is sad that she cannot sing anymore due to illness.
