Zagat says that its statistical averaging methods can take care of that, but Jean-Claude Vrinat, the proprietor of Taillevent, where Philippe Legendre is the chef, had another worry about his top ratings.

Using a moving average method, in a time window that slides forward, the client counts the total bytes being transmitted and received, and divides the sums by the time window size to get connection download / upload rates.

The corn growing degree-day method uses both a base temperature adjustment and an upper threshold, neither of which are common in viticulture and wine production use and can confound any comparison with published data using the simple average method.
38.
Largest remainder methods set a particular quota based on the number of voters, while highest averages methods, such as the Sainte-Lagu?method and the d'Hondt method, determine the quota indirectly by dividing the number of votes the parties receive by a sequence of numbers.
39.
However, the way residual seats are assigned, by using the D'Hondt method, a highest averages method, means that smaller parties are unlikely to get a residual seat, while larger parties have a bigger chance of getting one and may even get more than one.
40.
Due to the divisors ( 1, 2, 4, 8, . . . ) employed in the highest averages method, they only managed to win 2 seats on both occasions ( they would have achieved 3 seats had the original d'Hondt formula been used instead ).
