[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The correlation between linguistic trends in YouTube video titles and employment statistics may seem like an odd pairing, but as renowned scholars have demonstrated, sometimes the most startling connections are found in the most unexpected places. Smith (2010) delves into the influence of modern media on societal norms, shedding light on the subtle yet pervasive impact of popular culture on daily life. Doe (2012) thoroughly examines the linguistic patterns in digital media and their potential effects on decision-making processes. In a similar vein, Jones (2015) provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological triggers behind online content consumption, highlighting the persuasive influence of catchy titles and intriguing subjects.

These seminal works lay the groundwork for our investigation, pushing the boundaries of conventional data analysis and challenging us to consider the unlikely associations that lurk within the realm of pop culture. In our quest to explore the connection between Tom Scott's YouTube video titles and the employment figures of orderlies in Indiana, we take inspiration from these pioneering studies to embark on an unorthodox and rib-tickling research journey.

Moving beyond traditional academic sources, our exploration into this unconventional correlation leads us to intriguing non-fiction works such as "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, which challenges readers to uncover unexpected links in seemingly disparate phenomena. Similarly, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss reveals the tremendous impact of punctuation and language on everyday communication, reminding us that even the slightest nuances in linguistic style can have significant repercussions.

Venturing into the realm of fiction, we draw inspiration from novels that could hypothetically explore the tantalizing relationship between trendy YouTube titles and career choices. "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and "1984" by George Orwell offer compelling dystopian narratives that illustrate the manipulative power of mass media and societal control. While these novels may not directly address the correlation at hand, they illuminate the potential influence of media on human behavior, sparking our imaginative study in unconventional correlations.

As we humorously navigate through the juncture of pop culture and employment choices, our academic inquiry is complemented by unexpected sources of inspiration, including classic cartoons like "Tom and Jerry" and "Scooby-Doo." These seemingly lighthearted animations provide valuable insights into the subtleties of persuasion and intrigue, compelling us to ponder the whimsical yet profound connection between trendy YouTube titles and occupational preferences.

In the spirit of embracing the unexpected, our foray into the correlation between Tom Scott's YouTube video titles and the number of orderlies employed in Indiana embarks on an unconventional and mirthful approach, challenging the conventional boundaries of data analysis and infusing a spirited essence into the academic discourse. As we delve into the humorous undercurrents of this correlation, we invite readers to join us in unraveling the peculiar allure of trendy titles and the whimsical influences that may lie beneath the surface. After all, in the world of quirky correlations, as Tom Scott himself might say, "It's more fun on the wacky side!"

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how we conjured up this concoction of whimsy and statistical sorcery.

First and foremost, our intrepid team of researchers embarked on a quest to wrangle and categorize a decade's worth of Tom Scott's YouTube video titles. Equipped with cutting-edge AI analytics and an ample supply of caffeinated beverages, we diligently combed through this treasure trove of linguistic artistry. The goal: to distill the essence of trendiness from the intricacies of "How To Make a Video Essay," "Why Last Place Is Protected in Major Motorsport," and the like. We categorized these titles based on the presence of buzzwords, pithy phrases, and tantalizing clickbait elements, all so we could quantify their trendiness quotient - because why not add a touch of pizzazz to statistics?

Simultaneously, our trusty Bureau of Labor Statistics became our steadfast companion as we dove into the employment figures of orderlies in the great state of Indiana. Armed with spreadsheets and an abiding respect for the unsung heroes of healthcare, we meticulously charted the rise and fall of orderly employment from 2012 to 2022. Our diligent pursuit of this data was nothing short of an orderly endeavor in itself, always ensuring that every T was crossed and every i was dotted, much like the meticulous nature of, you guessed it, an orderly's duties.

Once both datasets were lovingly gathered, we then performed a dance of statistical analysis, culminating in the formation of a correlation coefficient that revealed quite the unexpected connection between Tom Scott's linguistic antics and the orderly occupation trends in Indiana. Donning our finest knightly armors emblazoned with p-values and confidence intervals, we proudly present to you the results of this whimsically convoluted yet profoundly intriguing study.

Correlation r = 0.8087962 (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 = 0.6541513 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 65.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of orderlies in Indiana) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How trendy Tom Scott's YouTube video titles are) over the 11 years from 2012 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0026. 0.0025752321579955895000000000
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 0.81 in 0.26% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 388 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.41, 0.95 ] 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.
