If people aren't rating consistently with one another, that is a good thing; it means they aren't all rating in the odd way you suggested earlier. ;-)
Using the raw median would not have the dampened effect we want: a single rating of 5 stars would shoot an application to the top of the list, when it should not. Perhaps there's a way to dampen the median? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894468 Title: Statistics algorithm for sorting ratings looks fishy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/894468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
