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 86.3/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Fauve, choix audacieux mais j'approuve.
Rock solid list !
Oselju 12/04/2015 12:46 | #153891
Un classement rock très intéressant.
Mis à part Fauve en milieu de classement (non ça je ne peux pas valider !), mais tous les goûts ne sont-ils pas dans la nature...

Thanks for introducing me to Alain Bashung.
I like him a lot even if I don`t understand french.
Docked a few points for being too short. But this is pretty good! Can't wait to see your other 20 choices!
