5 star ratings. Bayesian or Weighted average?

Similar question, but unlike that question this deals with two factors the stars and reputation.

Lets say Stack Exchange were to have a 5 star rating system instead of up vote and down vote.

  • 1 star = 5 reputation
  • 2 stars = -2 reputation
  • 3 stars = 0 reputation
  • 4 stars = +2 reputation
  • 5 stars = +5 reputation

So far so good, as it is very easy to calculate the total reputation (just by adding).

But what if each user had a 5 star rate, instead of reputation number? How could we calculate the stars?

    It's unclear what you are asking. I have several guesses, but 1) I shouldn't have to guess and 2) they are all covered by the linked question as far as I can tell. What is wrong with assigning a score out of 5 as per the linked question?2012-03-16
