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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.8.

Always nice to visit a dedicated chart. Love a bit of jazz so found this very interesting
Nice to see a wide ranging Jazz list here, with many female vocalists. I would have put Monk in the top 10, but I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea :)

Great, nice etc.
Fischman 01/03/2019 04:44
Wow... nice chart! I love seeing Blue Train and In a Silent Way as the first entries for their respective artists.

Excellent, full of classics, and comprehensive!
Excellent chart, many of own favourites here. Good to see Relaxin With the Miles Davis Quintet getting some love. Much overlooked in his catalogue.
