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 86.4/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

With 61 albums from the BEA top 200, this chart pretty much reflects the BEA members status quo ¬ nothing wrong with that. Also a few albums outside to top 1000, that gives a glimpse of personality beyond the status quo.
Really like this chart. Know almost all and have many included in my own chart
I never got Aeroplane over the sea but that withstanding, this is a really really good chart.

Good chart. 30 in common. Good to see Dexys and many others. Some notes would be nice but overall is good.

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 :(
