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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 83.6/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.9.

95/100

From sageamagoo 04/01/2013 22:53

Really nice chart. Illinois is fantastic and totally deserving of being at number one of the 00's (I myself have it at number 2).

Also, Moon & Antarctica is another favourite of mine and it's nice to see it here. But looking further down, I see A Fever You Can't Sweat Out on the list. That's awesome! Not many people round here appreciate that album. You're the only one besides me who gave it a full hundred.

Still, I could only give you a 95 because of Sigur Rós, Daft Punk, and The Postal Service, all of which I dislike. Other than that I love what I see, and I'll be sure to check out Fleet Foxes when I get a chance.
