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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.9/100, a mean average of 95.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 96.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.4.

Really interesting and personal chart. Very very good
Mercury 01/09/2024 16:55 | #301028
excellent chart. randomly wanted to revisit this and check that I have praised and rated it.
This is one of the most interesting charts I have ever seen, even without notes. Roscoe Holcomb, Shirley Ann Lee (I need to hear more), Karen Dalton and The United Sacred Harp Convention are particular noteworthy inclusions, and there are many others rarely seen.
Niche chart. I love your choices ❤

It's the best iteration yet, Chief. No overall theme/mood this time, but it's all over the place in the best way possible. Just a bunch of excellent picks. It's all great, the popular stuff, the underrated, niche but still well-known picks, and some artists I've never heard of. The perfect balance. Wouldn't be surprised if my chart (one day) looks and feels similar to this organized chaos.

Hell yeah! Love it! \m/
Very interesting picks and lots of albums I am now going to explore. Love the detailed descriptions as well!
This chart is amazing! So many interesting albums to check!

The more descriptions on a chart the better. Great work
LedZep 11/17/2020 12:55 | #260946
This might be the most diverse and interesting "exercise chart" you've done so far Chief. Some picks that I couldn't agree more with (Isn't Anything is in the same tier as Loveless and Slowdive's s/t is their best, hell yeah), and a lot of other classic "Chief picks". I'm gonna regularly use the term "Chief picks" from now on, I like it. I'm browsing the shit out of this chart in the canon game.
