[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature surrounding the interplay between hydropower energy generated in the Dominican Republic and New York Times Fiction Best Sellers is, to put it mildly, not as deep as the proverbial well of statistical analyses. Smith and Doe (2010) examined the trends in renewable energy production in the Caribbean, while Jones (2012) focused on the impact of hydropower on the economic development of the Dominican Republic. Despite such attempts to delve into the implications of hydropower, the direct connection between hydroelectricity and literary success remains largely unexplored. It's like entering uncharted territory, but with puns and power dynamics!

In "Energy Economics: Concepts, Issues, Markets, and Governance," the authors posit that the hydroelectric potential of the Dominican Republic remains largely untapped due to various economic and infrastructural challenges. This reminds me of a good dam joke: Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems. Similarly, the potential for a connection between hydropower and literary success in the New York Times Best Sellers list remains untapped and in need of exploration.

Turning to non-fiction works related to renewable energy and the publishing industry, "Hydropower Development in the Dominican Republic: The Challenges of Harnessing an Abundant Resource" provides insights into the potential and challenges of hydropower in the region. The prospect of bridging the gap between hydroelectricity and literary success is indeed a "novel" idea that requires further examination. Now, here's a shocking pun for you: I used to have a job at a hydroelectric plant, but then I got "bored."

As we venture into the world of fiction, titles such as "The Power" and "The Electric Hotel" evoke themes that could be tangentially related to the electrifying potential of hydropower and the literary landscape. Could the energy of hydropower be metaphorically flowing through the narratives of bestselling fiction works? It's as though we're turning the page to reveal not just literary currents, but electrical ones as well!

Further delving into non-conventional sources, it is worth noting a rather unorthodox approach to literature review conducted by this research team, involving a detailed analysis of randomly collected CVS receipts for any potential mention of hydropower energy and bestselling fiction novels. Alas, the results yielded little more than discounts on shampoo and a surprising number of candy purchases. But fear not, dear reader, for we remain firmly anchored in the world of credible research and statistical analyses!

Let's say, when it comes to literary success, this research really makes a splash!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The unlikely link between hydropower energy generation in the Dominican Republic and the New York Times Fiction Best Sellers list has sparked curiosity within academic and literary circles. While one might initially assume these two subjects to be as different as night and day, our research aims to shed light on the unexpected relationship between renewable energy production and the success of fiction novels. With the power of statistical analysis at our fingertips, we aim to surge through the data to unravel this enigmatic connection.
Now, you might be thinking, "What does the flow of water in the Dominican Republic have to do with the flow of words in the New York Times Best Sellers?" Well, we're here to make waves and uncover the currents that tie these seemingly disparate elements into a shocking synergistic relationship.
Picture this: What do you get when you cross a bestselling fiction novel with a hydroelectric dam? A "current" affair that electrifies both the literary and renewable energy landscapes, of course! But fear not, dear reader, as we navigate these pun-infused waters, we will stay firmly grounded in the rigorous application of statistical methods to uncover the truth behind this perplexing correlation.

[[RESULTS]]
The investigation into the relationship between hydropower energy generated in the Dominican Republic and New York Times fiction best sellers revealed a surprising correlation. The correlation coefficient of 0.7277531 demonstrated a moderately strong positive relationship between these two seemingly unrelated domains. This finding suggests that as hydropower energy generation in the Dominican Republic increased, there was a corresponding tendency for more fiction novels to make their mark on the New York Times Best Sellers list.
In the world of statistical analysis, a correlation coefficient of this magnitude is nothing to brush off like water off a duck's back. This result provides solid evidence of a tangible link between the flow of hydropower energy and the flow of successful fiction novels. It seems that there's more than just a current of water running through the pages of these best sellers.
The r-squared value of 0.5296246 further supports the substantial impact of hydropower energy generation in the Dominican Republic on the success of fiction novels in the literary market.

Correlation r = 0.7277531 (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 = 0.5296246 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 53% of the change in the one variable (i.e., New York Times Fiction Best Sellers) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Hydopower energy generated in Dominican Republic) over the 35 years from 1980 through 2014.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.3E-7. 0.0000007283085700627902000000
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 0.73 in 7.3E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,373,044 random variables You don't actually need 1 million 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 34 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 34 because we have two variables measured over a period of 35 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.

[ 0.52, 0.85 ] 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 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 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.
