Progressive Rock Top Albums / all subgenres - all record types - all years - all countries
Based on members ratings & PA algorithm
Here is some details about how we calculate the average rating of an album and the rank of an album.
-
Average rating: The classic calculation of the average but more weight is affected to the ratings of progarchives.com collaborators and to ratings with reviews:
- Rating only: Weight = 1
- Review by members : Weight = 10
- Review by PA Collaborators : Weight = 20
- Rank of an album: We use a calculation that compare an album average ratings and number of ratings over all others albums in the query using this theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_average) to create a variable every query "QWR" (AKA: Query Weighted Rating) use for ordering.
- By default, only albums with the average ratings above the average ratings of the requested query are displayed in theses lists, you can control this value in the filters
