AV = the site mean average rating.

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 85.9/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

I can't disagree with anything on here, but your top two is absolutely perfect.

A good taste from the beginning to the end.
How did this chart get selected as "chart of the day" two times in 6 months when there are 1000s to choose from?
tgarritsen 12/20/2013 16:24 | #98184
Great list, would like to see more of those compact comments.
That is cool they posted your chart on this day. I wonder if it was on purpose.
Very interesting top 10 choices you have!
EyeKanFly 06/19/2013 14:04 | #79343
Pretty varied, and it's nice to see a bunch of Beck so high (and they're my favorite Beck albums). Nice chart overall.
AleJohnMari 06/19/2013 10:59 | #79336
A lot of similar stuff, but still so different. Nice!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
