Hi,
I am trying to figure out the best formula to rate/order items based off user’s votes UP or DOWN. I found a nice example of the Bayesian formula here:
http://www.thebroth.com/blog/118/bayesian-rating
$br = ( ($avg_num_votes * $avg_rating) + ($this_num_votes * $this_rating) ) / ($avg_num_votes + $this_num_votes)
This method takes in to account ratings and I’m just wanting to have a simple up or down vote. My question is what is the best most logical way to order a set of items based on the vote (+ or -) score from users?
