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 85.1/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.5.

Great chart, just when I thought it couldn't get any better you throw a couple of Dulli albums in. Nice to see Source, Tags & Codes so high in a chart. I work with a few Poles and they all seem to like really heavy techno, nice to see good taste is universal.
