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 is rated in the top 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.4/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

Okay, if you would put your BEA friendly chart and this one next to each other, I would have a hard time figuring out which one’s which honestly.
*looks at latest comment* “Possibly the most diverse chart” *looks confused at imaginary camera*

Very interesting. Possibly the most diverse chart I've seen on this site so far, and it would be very difficult to be more diverse than this.
