[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In their seminal work, Smith et al. (2015) delve into the mesmerizing world of YouTube video titles and their potential influence on viewer engagement. Their study meticulously analyzes the linguistic components of provocative titles and their ability to captivate the attention of unsuspecting audiences. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2018) explore the enigmatic nature of stock price fluctuations and the myriad factors that contribute to their capricious dance in the financial markets. Through a comprehensive meta-analysis of economic indicators and corporate maneuvering, they unravel the complexities of investor sentiment and market dynamics.

In "The Subtle Art of Stock Market Seduction" by Mark Manson, the author delves into the tantalizing dance of financial markets and the intricate ways in which investor behavior is swayed by seemingly insignificant stimuli. Additionally, Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" offers a compelling exploration of the subconscious cues that influence decision-making, shedding light on the subtle yet profound impacts of persuasive language on human cognition.

Venturing into the realm of fiction, "The Game of Thrones" series by George R.R. Martin intricately weaves a tale of power, manipulation, and unforeseen consequences, mirroring the intricate dynamics of financial markets and the whims of investor sentiment. Moreover, the classic board game "Monopoly" serves as a whimsical allegory for the wheeling and dealing of corporate entities, shedding light on the capricious nature of stock prices and the labyrinthine paths of financial success.

However, amidst these serious and contemplative works, the authors find themselves traversing into the whimsical realm of gaming and pop culture, where titles such as "Five Nights at Freddy's: SCARIEST GAME EVER!" and "Minecraft's Ending, DECODED!" beckon to the curiosity of millions. These enigmatic titles, crafted by The Game Theorists, serve as a tapestry of intrigue and fascination, drawing viewers into the arcane depths of game theory and speculation.

The unexpected juxtaposition of gaming-themed content and the stoic world of stock prices prompts a playful inquiry into the dubious connections that intertwine these seemingly unrelated entities. As we traverse the peculiar landscape of YouTube titles and stock market dynamics, we find ourselves pondering the whimsical and often humorous ways in which serendipitous encounters and unanticipated correlations sow the seeds of inquiry.

Data Analysis:
The trove of data procured from these disparate realms was then corralled into a harmonious amalgamation, where the YouTube video title provocativeness scores were harmonized with the ebbs and flows of Dominion Energy's stock price. To ascertain the correlation between these esoteric entities, we subjected the data to a rigorous statistical analysis, employing esoteric techniques including but not limited to correlation analysis, regression models, and time-series analysis.

In a feat of intellectual acrobatics, we encapsulated the whimsical essence of The Game Theorists' tantalizing titles into numerical provocativeness scores, allowing for a quantitative exploration of their potential impact on Dominion Energy's stock price. These scores were then juxtaposed against the tumultuous undulations of D's stock price, illuminating the intricate interplay between the realm of gaming-themed content and the stoic bastion of financial markets.

Furthermore, to ensure the veracity of our findings, robustness checks and sensitivity analyses were conducted to ascertain the resilience of the observed correlations in the face of potential confounding variables and outliers.

Ethical Considerations:
In our pursuit of this extraordinary correlation, we remained steadfast in our commitment to ethical standards and intellectual integrity. The handling of proprietary financial data and YouTube content was undertaken with the utmost reverence for privacy and intellectual property rights.

In closing, the methodology employed in this perplexing inquiry reflects a concerted effort to harness the diverse and arcane forces of digital content analysis, financial data metrics, and statistical sorcery to illuminate the mysterious nexus between YouTube video titles and stock prices.

Correlation r = 0.9132229 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.8339761 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 83.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Dominion Energy's stock price (D)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How provocative The Game Theorists YouTube video titles are) over the 15 years from 2009 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.002E-6. 0.0000020023924861437640000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.91 in 0.0002002% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 499,403 random variables You don't actually need 499 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.75, 0.97 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
