01. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
02. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
12. Pentangle - Basket of Light
17. Renaissance - Renaissance
31. Group 1850 - Paradise Now
32. Arcadium - Breathe Awhile

Of course not, the manipulation has just been automated... Algorithms are mainly that: automated manipulations of data. That's why there's so much fuzz about them; they're not created without specific (ideological, commercial, informational, ...) objectives.

(That said, I think the minimum ratings is set at 0 from the start, but you have to set it at least to 1 otherwise the number of results will be limited - now, that seems to be a bug in the algorithm)

Fair enough I wouldn't blame the calculator, a sewing machine or a robot either, but the creators. I blame the creators of this algorithm.

Now, that the PA algorithm is very questionable seems to be an understatement, but that doesn't mean it is not functioning: it does what it was supposed to do, whether we like it or not.

Is it better to compare the average ratings of an album rated by say 1500 people with one rated by 5 people?

There's clearly something wrong with the statistics when one of the best-known prog albums of 1970 doesn't even feature in PA's Top 250 Albums list. Confused

Anyway, at least I now know how to manipulate the statistics to my liking. Wink

Nothing manipulating in setting the minimum number of ratings to a certain number, the question is only which number is appropriate/fair.

That sounds fine in theory, but in practice it only gives me a Top 65 albums list - not a full Top 100, although it does have the consolation of YES - Time and a Word at #61. Smile

The lower you set the minimum number of ratings, the lower will Time and a Word be ranked, but your choice. Big smile

The PA charts has some f**ked up algorhitms that comes up with this kind of logic, so yeah there's something wrong. 1968:

those charts improve when you choose a number of ratings, less abnormalities as the one above.

There's clearly something wrong with the statistics when one of the best-known prog albums of 1970 doesn't even feature in PA's Top 250 Albums list. Confused

Anyway, at least I now know how to manipulate the statistics to my liking. Wink

That sounds fine in theory, but in practice it only gives me a Top 65 albums list - not a full Top 100, although it does have the consolation of YES - Time and a Word at #61. Smile
