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 85.6/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.6.

Lot's of stuff I love, a few things I hate, but I won't hold that against you(the whole point of this site is to share your opinion after all.) Good chart, I'll check out the stuff I don't know.
Enough different from the usual to make it interesting.

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 :(
