[[INTRODUCTION]]

As Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle once mused, "The wind, we must rather say, turns round us." And indeed, the winds of curiosity have turned our attention to the unlikeliest of correlations – that between the wind power generated in Jordan and the automotive recalls issued by Mercedes-Benz USA. It seems that the gusts of fate and the whirlwinds of statistical analysis have conspired to lead us down this intriguing path, where renewable energy and automotive anomalies collide.

Speaking of collisions, it's time for a wind-related dad joke: Why don't skeletons fight each other in a windstorm? Because they don't have the guts.

Our pursuit of understanding leads us to an unexpected crossroads where the renewable energy revolution meets the fine-tuned engineering of luxury automobiles. The sheer magnitude of this connection, like a stiff breeze on a serene day, has left us both astounded and amused. It’s almost as if the wind turbines have been whispering secrets to the Mercedes-Benz engineers, inspiring them to issue recalls that blow our minds.

And speaking of blowing minds, here’s another one: What do you call a belt made out of watches? A waist of time. Now, let’s wind our way back to the matter at hand.

The data at our disposal – a rich tapestry of wind power statistics and automotive recall archives – provides the canvas upon which we paint a picture of correlation and causation. As we unfurl the sails of analysis and navigate the winds of statistics, we are confronted with a correlation coefficient that could make a sailor jealous.

But before we delve into the statistical nitty-gritty, here’s a light-hearted breeze of a joke: What kind of tea is hard to swallow? Reality. Let’s hope our findings go down easier than that!

Our findings, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9207005 (p < 0.01) across the years 1990 to 2021, present a compelling case for the interconnectedness of wind power and automotive recalls. It seems that the winds of change not only propel turbines but also steer the wheels of automotive fate. Who knew that the wind turbines and Mercedes-Benz were engaged in such a spirited tango?

As we unpack the implications of this zephyr-driven phenomenon, let’s not lose sight of the overwhelmingly wondrous nature of our discovery. It’s like the winds of fate have provided us with a revelation that would make even King Arthur envious – a modern-day Excalibur forged in the winds of correlation.

So, as we embark on this scholarly journey through the meandering roads of wind power and the highways of automotive engineering, let’s keep our sails set for the seas of insight and, of course, never forget to appreciate the unexpected breezes of humor along the way.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature surrounding wind power and automotive engineering elucidates various aspects of renewable energy and vehicle manufacturing. Smith et al. (2018) discuss the increasing prominence of wind energy as a sustainable power source, highlighting its potential to mitigate environmental impacts. Conversely, Doe and Jones (2020) delve into the intricate complexities of automotive engineering, emphasizing the precision and innovation required in developing advanced vehicle technologies.

Now it's time for some wind-related puns to blow you away: How do wind farms greet each other? They wave! And why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.

Turning to non-fiction books related to our topic, "Wind Energy Handbook" by Tony Burton explores the technical and practical aspects of harnessing wind power, while "Automotive Engineering: Powertrain, Chassis System and Vehicle Body" by David Crolla provides insights into the intricate design and manufacturing processes within the automotive industry.

But wait, let's not breeze past this opportunity to explore the fiction realm for some seemingly relevant titles: "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami, where a man's search for his wife's missing cat leads him into a surreal world; and "The Mercedes Coffin" by Faye Kellerman, a thrilling mystery novel involving a Mercedes car and a high-stakes investigation.

Now, to infuse some childhood nostalgia into this academic pursuit, we venture into the realm of cartoons and children's shows. The classic animated series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" educates young minds about renewable energy and environmental conservation, while the adventures of Lightning McQueen in "Cars" offers a whimsical take on the world of automotive engineering – after all, who could resist the charm of talking cars and their anthropomorphic escapades!

It's time for a final wind-themed jest to carry us to the next section: Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? Great food, no atmosphere. With that, let's ride the tailwind of knowledge to unravel the intertwining narratives of wind power and automotive recalls.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

In this study, we employed an eclectic mix of data collection methods that could make even the most seasoned researcher reach for a gust of fresh air. Our investigation began by mining a treasure trove of wind power generation data from sources such as the Energy Information Administration, where we sifted through a veritable whirlwind of statistics to capture the essence of Jordan's wind power landscape. This data was then coupled with information on automotive recalls from the US Department of Transportation, creating a fusion that could power even the most energy-efficient hybrid vehicle.

To ensure the inclusivity of our data, we employed a method known as "The Kite-and-Go-Seek Technique," where our research assistants, armed with oversized kites and impeccable balance, scoured the internet for any whispers of wind power generation in Jordan and the ominous calls for recalls from Mercedes-Benz USA. However, we must note that, while comical, this method was not entirely effective in capturing the vastness of the wind power and automotive recall data. Still, it did provide us with the much-needed exercise and an unexpected appreciation for wind gusts.

Next, we utilized the "Turbulent Textual Analysis" approach to sway through a tempest of literature, retrieving scholarly articles, industry reports, and regulatory documents discussing the interconnectedness of renewable energy and automotive engineering. This approach allowed us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the winds of change and the potential impact on automotive recalls, all while leaving us in a whirlwind of information reminiscent of a page-turning novel.

In our analysis, we employed a statistical method known as "The Ruffle-the-Pages Analysis," where we meticulously combed through the data with the delicate touch of a book lover to uncover any hidden correlations between wind power in Jordan and recalls issued by Mercedes-Benz USA. This method, while unconventional, provided us with insights that fluttered like the pages of an engrossing mystery novel.

To further expand our methodology, we considered employing the "Sail-the-Seven-Seas Observation Technique," in which a team of researchers would set sail to various global locations in search of wind power installations and Mercedes-Benz vehicles on the open market. However, after much deliberation, we concluded that this method was not only logistically challenging but also potentially hazardous – especially for those prone to seasickness.

Finally, we applied the "Aero-acoustic Analysis" to decipher whether the harmonic vibrations produced by wind turbines had any discernible effect on the structural integrity of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles, but this method was quickly abandoned after it left our research team feeling more winded than insightful.

In closing, our methodology, while relying on unconventional techniques, provided us with a deeper understanding of the interplay between wind power in Jordan and the issuance of automotive recalls by Mercedes-Benz USA. As we navigate the uncharted waters of this research endeavor, let us remember the words of the great polymath Leonardo da Vinci, "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." And with that, let us soar into the winds of discovery with buoyant hearts and steadfast determination.

Zephyr Zephyr, Quite Contrary: Exploring the Wind Power-Windshield Woes Nexus

[[ABSTRACT]]
The relationship between renewable energy and automotive engineering has always been blowing in the wind, and in this study, we delve into the zephyr-driven whims of wind turbines and the unrestrained road wanderings of automotive recalls. Using a combination of data from the Energy Information Administration and the US Department of Transportation, we set out to investigate the surprising interconnectedness between the wind power generated in Jordan and the automotive recalls issued by Mercedes-Benz USA.

Our findings reveal a correlation coefficient of 0.9207005 (p < 0.01) spanning the years 1990 to 2021, providing compelling evidence of a captivating correlation between the two seemingly unrelated phenomena. It seems that the winds of change can impact not only energy production but also the engineering of automotive marvels, creating a symphony of synchronicities that leaves us pondering the profound power of wind. It appears that even the wind turbines are keen on nudging Mercedes-Benz to recall their vehicles – truly a gust of divine intervention, if you will.

The implications of this wind-powered automotive recall phenomenon are far-reaching and offer a whimsical yet thought-provoking lens through which to view the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate systems. As we continue to harness the power of the winds and engineer the marvels of the automotive world, it seems that the universe itself may be conspiring to ensure that our paths, like the wind, are never entirely predictable.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The literature surrounding wind power and automotive engineering elucidates various aspects of renewable energy and vehicle manufacturing. Smith et al. (2018) discuss the increasing prominence of wind energy as a sustainable power source, highlighting its potential to mitigate environmental impacts. Conversely, Doe and Jones (2020) delve into the intricate complexities of automotive engineering, emphasizing the precision and innovation required in developing advanced vehicle technologies.
Now it's time for some wind-related puns to blow you away: How do wind farms greet each other? They wave! And why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
Turning to non-fiction books related to our topic, "Wind Energy Handbook" by Tony Burton explores the technical and practical aspects of harnessing wind power, while "Automotive Engineering: Powertrain, Chassis System and Vehicle Body" by David Crolla provides insights into the intricate design and manufacturing processes within the automotive industry.
But wait, let's not breeze past this opportunity to explore the fiction realm for some seemingly relevant titles: "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami, where a man's search for his wife's missing cat leads him into a surreal world; and "The Mercedes Coffin" by Faye Kellerman, a thrilling mystery novel involving a Mercedes car and a high-stakes investigation.
Now, to infuse some childhood nostalgia into this academic pursuit, we venture into the realm of cartoons and children's shows. The classic animated series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" educates young minds about renewable energy and environmental conservation, while the adventures of Lightning McQueen in "Cars" offers a whimsical take on the world of automotive engineering – after all, who could resist the charm of talking cars and their anthropomorphic escapades!
It's time for a final wind-themed jest to carry us to the next section: Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? Great food, no atmosphere. With that, let's ride the tailwind of knowledge to unravel the intertwining narratives of wind power and automotive recalls.

Correlation r = 0.9207005 (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 = 0.8476894 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 84.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Automotive recalls issued by Mercedes-Benz USA) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Wind power generated in Jordan) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.6E-14. 0.0000000000000859382619439955
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 0.92 in 8.6E-12% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 11,636,260,466,283 random variables You don't actually need 11 trillion 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 31 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 31 because we have two variables measured over a period of 32 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.

[ 0.84, 0.96 ] 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.
  4. Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
  5. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.

Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.

Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"

If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:

"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."


# These modules make it easier to perform the calculation
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats

# We'll define a function that we can call to return the correlation calculations
def calculate_correlation(array1, array2):

    # Calculate Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value
    correlation, p_value = stats.pearsonr(array1, array2)

    # Calculate R-squared as the square of the correlation coefficient
    r_squared = correlation**2

    return correlation, r_squared, p_value

# These are the arrays for the variables shown on this page, but you can modify them to be any two sets of numbers
array_1 = np.array([0.001,0.001,0.001,0.001,0.001,0.001,0.001,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.003,0.002,0.123,0.391,0.449,0.707,0.875,1.379,1.56756,])

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
