Yes, 'C' is the mean rating for all the movie in the database. So far I've put everything from 1997-2005 in a master spreadsheet, and the mean works out to 3.327. I think the equation the IMDb uses is fine. I guess the question is still up in the air as to whether to ignore users who aren't participating anymore. (My preference is to have both sets of ratings --even though the odds are long that we'll ever see ratings from geophos, Jeremy Heilman or Dr. Zira again, I still value the ratings that they did give.) |

I'm doing some research, and I found this:
Not exactly, but sort of what we could use. |

The IMDb formula uses a bayesian mean as well. |

It's pretty easy to apply rough calculations....just a tab harder to optimize for server/sql/web performance. I'm toying with putting up three formulas: the "vornporn method®", the "IMDb method", and the "post-RT posting method" and seeing how well they compare to each other. I'm probably just going to crunch the numbers first, without making an interface, and let the smart guys/gals here make the necessary tweaks to whatever equation they think best. The ® in your equation confused me for a moment, until I realized that it should be ( r ) :P |

The Passion of Joan of Arc (4.70) 5. The General (4.58) 6t. The Playhouse (4.57) 6t. The Big Parade (4.57) 8. Un Chien andalou (4.53) 9. Greed (4.50) 10. Napoleon (4.50) 11. Metropolis (4.47) 12. The Fall of the House of Usher 13t. Cops 13t. Steamboat Bill Jr. 15t. Our Hospitality 15t. Safety Last! 17. Nosferatu 18. The Navigator 19. The Crowd 20. The Gold Rush 21t. The Kid (4.31) 21t. The Phantom of the Opera 23t. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari 23t. The Cameraman 25t. The Boat 25t. Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler 27. The Last Laugh 28. The Circus 29. Nanook of the North 30. Man with a Movie Camera 31. Convict 13 (4.20) 32. Voyage to the Moon 33. Battleship Potemkin 34. Seven Chances 35. Entr’Acte 36. The Hunchback of Notre Dame 37t. The Wind 37t. Wings 37t. Häxan 40t.

I'm surprised how much Keaton is loved (8 films in the Top20) and how much Griffith is hated (all of his 3 films are in the bottom 11) in this neck of the woods. |

The current mean vote for all titles that have 5 or more votes is 3.63. I've finished getting the release dates organized for the titles and I'm putting together a page that'll search by year, and display by averages, weighted (with an adjusted mean) or not. I'm thinking of having the option to change the minimum amount of votes when doing a search which will, of course, also mean a different mean for all titles...but I can determine that programatically during real time. |

Hardly! :blush: This is an addition that I've been meaning to do since the beginning of the database. Plus I felt bad that you were doing all that work manually when it could be done programatically. |

Oh, oh. It would seem that Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Dirt) has once again unraveled the hard work of Beaker (vornporn) – exploding his head, or setting his lab coat on fire, or some such. Mean while Link Hogthrob (Mr. Jiggy) checks his hair.
... overheard this morning in The Barber boudoir. All kidding aside, I'm finding this to be a very useful exercise. My own "to see" list has been updated to include most titles appearing in a top 20. |

Just joking, though the image that I posted certainly was obsolete. Thanks for adding more bells & whistles to the database, Dirt. |

I've seen all but 15, and to be honest, some of those 15 have never crossed my mind as something to watch (Kitchen Stories?). |
