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 83.4/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.7.

?? (speachless) - just go on.
Wow, we have very very similar taste, I think. Very good list. :)
maxperenchio 08/26/2009 07:31
great albums, sure its cool to see female bands, but this is a great list in general
Mr. Shankly 07/10/2009 04:44
I like the fact that so many women artists are represented here, since this seems to be such a male dominated site both in membership and in chart picks. Sleater-Kinney at number 1 is a cool choice. I think that's my favorite record of their's too.

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 :(
