I admit that there is no set formula.They have so many variables.
a few of them are
what keyword is being searched.Yahoo give preference to sites in their directory for some main kw searches. e.g. "teen pussy" and "big tits"
Another is whether a site has paid for inclusion (PFI)
They also like sites with meta tags but not spammy ones.Keyword in domain also helps but mainly they like the site to be from a clean neighbourhood and they do respect backlinks from directorys including Dmoz.They also like content but having big sites auch as hoes is a disadvantage for them as they do not crawl and score pages deep within sites very quickly so age becomes a factor as well.
This is my on Yahoo anyway.
