What does the 'Mew' & 'Sigma' means/signify in the votes panel in Q&A. When I take my mouse over stars, we see bars and below some value related to 'Mew' & 'Sigma'... was new to me... seeing it from two days now. Anyone?
|
|

I'd say it it is the mean (µ) and sigma is the standard deviation[^], but I also may be wrong and the hamsters are trying to tell us something completely different! 
Cheers!

Mean and standard deviation. Used to filter outlier votes.

So you mean it is intentionally put up and displayed to us?

Yep - for those of us who love stats.

 I suppose with almost 8 million users there have to be a few of them, but do we really need to openly acknowledge their existence?

With help from CPAM3, I did the math and my net rating change on articles was +7.55 rating points, and tips went up by 0.68. Five articles went down in rating, 30 articles went up, and five tips went up.
The change was not so dramatic as to cause any concern.

The only down-side is that you haven't figured out how to improve people's sense of humor.

Have you been tweaking that code? I noticed that several of my articles were reduced in rating with no new associated votes being cast.

Yes - I expanded the accepted deviation from the mean a little to ensure that votes either side of the mean were being counted. Thus, if you have any articles with a bunch of 5s and a few 4s, those 4s are being counted whereas in the first iteration they weren't.

Seriously speaking if person A has a lot of 5s for his article and and someone gives him 4. If it is not counted due to filtering he will still have round 5 but his article's popularity will not grow. Then when a lot of people give him 4s, his rating will drop but his popularity will jump up. I am no sure it is logical.

I'm calculating popularity off the filtered set of votes. I guess using the total number of votes in the Log10 part of the calc makes sense because even if someone is downvoting it's still popular. Popular for trolls...
