Alternative Rankings. C. 150-Point Scale.
As noted in
the explanation of the ranking system, the method I adopted to re-rank the titles
from the sources originally used a simple 150-point scale, which remained in place
on this site for over six years. It was abandoned after John Young pointed out that
rating 100-title lists on the same scale as a 150-title list disadvantaged the former, an
observation that resulted in the discovery of other problems with the system. Rather than
consign it to complete oblivion, however, I present it here as an alternative ranking, and
an object lesson, perhaps, in mathematical naiveté. An explanation of the
alternative method follows:
- First, to ensure that equivalent
ratings in each source were given equal weight, the rankings in
each source list were converted into points on a 150-point scale
(since there are 150 works in the longest source). A first-place
rank was given 150 points, a second place rank 149, and so on
- down to 51 points for a 100th-place rank on the three shorter
lists, and down to 1 point for the 150th-place rank on the longest
list.
- Second, the points for every
work on each list were totaled to determine its cumulative popularity
(or weight) in the sources.
- Finally, the works were re-ranked
according to total points received, those with the most ranking
highest and those with the least ranking lowest. In cases where
two or more works ended up with the same number of points, the
works(s) appearing in the most sources are ranked first. Works that
both share the same number of points and appear
in the same number of sources are ranked alphabetically by author
and title.
The main strength of this method is that it provides a
method of reconciling the rankings of the various source lists while also recognizing the
greater claim to a higher ranking of titles that are repeated on two or more source lists
than titles unique to one source list. Its main defects are that the simple 150-point scale
disadvantages titles on the three shorter lists, that the extra points awarded to titles
appearing on more than one source list are overly excessive, and that the scores of titles on
the three shorter lists duplicated among the last fifty entries on the longest list are
augmented thereby when they ought to be reduced.
