All right, so essentially what this is doing is putting things on something of a curve based on popularity. Anything that hasn’t met a threshold of interest (ie number of user scores) is going to be weighted toward the mean score across the entire site. As the number of scores becomes multiples larger than the minimum number of scores, the score begins to reflect the average of the user scores for that particular work. It would be helpful to know what the minimum number of scores is, but it’s very possible that Shenmue hasn’t gotten too far past it, and is biased toward the site’s mean score still.Weighted Score = (v / (v + m)) * S + (m / (v + m)) * C
One other thing is that the number of 10/10s looks like a statistical anomaly. If they throw out scores from suspicious accounts, then just signing up, dropping a 10/10 on Shenmue the animation, and peacing out may be liable to have it stricken from the data set.
