bayeaverage. Games with less than 30 ratings do not have bayesaverage, so the value is NA. For games with at least 30 ratings, an average rating across the whole database is taken, then repeated a number of times (starting at 500 but can be more) and added to the actual ratings. This is to prevent games with very few ratings to reach extremely low or high averages. See this BGG thread. for discussion.
