Introduction

I've always been fascinated by the numbers and I like playing with them.

This module has been created to fill a gap when you're using the VotingAPI with Fivestar module.
The most common use of this module will be in Views, to sort entities using values computed by a new function.

So, basically it provides a new function in the "vote results" relationship to compute a Bayesian average of each item according to the others.

Every time you submit a vote, VotingAPI compute the new value on each item.
If VotingAPI is configured to tally at cron, it will also works.

Origins

Imagine:

1 million users vote 4 stars on a node A

1 user votes 5 stars a node B

Result: node B is now better rated than node A
