Hey All,
The "score" value for the Top 10% List has been modified by using a Bayesian Average. This curves the scores based on the number of opinions as well as the average value of the score. Here's how it works:
score = Bayesian Average(avg(compscore+overall+review))
Bayesian Average = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C
where:
R = average for the video (mean) = (Rating)
v = number of votes for the video = (votes)
m = minimum votes required to be listed in the top 10% (7)
C = the mean score across all videos (average all vids)
This means that the more opinions a video has, the more likely it is that the average score is correct. This will get rid of the "A bunch of DBZ fans gave this vid all 10's and now it sits on the top of the list" thing that unfortunatly seems to happen.
I hope this helps. Good luck and have fun!! ^_^
Phade.
