AI explanation

As the number of viewers of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show decreased, there was a corresponding decrease in the demand for lacy, racy lingerie. This led to a statewide decline in impulse purchases of unmentionables, ultimately reducing the need for tax examiners and collectors to audit the unreported frilly finances. In other words, as interest in lacy unmentionables waned, so did the need for tax authorities to keep a brief eye on the state's unmentionables market. It seems the bottom line for Tennessee's tax examiners and collectors was directly linked to the bottom line of Victoria's Secret.

[[INTRODUCTION]]

The pursuit of understanding human behavior and its curious correlations has led researchers down many unexpected paths. In this paper, we navigate the labyrinth of the esoteric, delving into the realm of intimate apparel and financial governance. As the title, "The Victoria's Secret Viewer Vanity and the Voluntary Value of Venues: A Vexatious Venture" suggests, our investigation is a whimsical yet serious endeavor into the connection between the annual spectacle of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show viewership and the curious world of tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents in the great state of Tennessee.

You might be wondering, why Tennessee? Well, my dear readers, it turns out that this state provides an intriguing backdrop for our study, with its unique blend of southern charm, vibrant music scene, and eclectic cuisine, not to mention its distinctive approach to taxation and revenue enforcement.

Now, some may argue that researching the correlation between lingerie glamour and tax professionals might seem akin to mixing apples and oranges, or in this case, peaches and pecans. However, our curiosity was piqued by the empowerment displayed on the glittering runway and the unassuming diligence of those ensuring financial compliance. The juxtaposition of lacy underpinnings and meticulous accounting practices offers a peculiar tableau for our inquiry.

As we embark on this scholarly odyssey, we embrace the unexpected and aim to tickle the intellectual fancy of our esteemed colleagues.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith and Doe (2015) scrutinized the correlation between televised fashion events and regional employment figures. Their study, “Fashion Frenzy: Unveiling the Economic Impact of Couture Showcases,” delved into the curious realm of consumer behavior and labor market dynamics, shedding light on the intricate interplay between sartorial spectacles and workforce composition. Their findings posited a tenuous link between the number of fashion show viewers and the employment levels in the fields of taxation and revenue enforcement, setting the stage for our own investigation into this perplexing intersection.

Jones et al. (2018) conducted a meticulous analysis of consumer spending patterns in relation to televised entertainment. In their work, “Spending on Spectacle: A Financial Exploration of Televised Glamour,” the authors highlighted the allure of extravagant visual displays and their potential influence on economic activity. While their focus was primarily on consumer expenditures, their observations inadvertently hinted at broader implications for government revenue collection and the professionals responsible for such fiscal matters.

Turning to non-fiction literature, relevant to the topic, "Taxation and Revenue Enforcement: A Comprehensive Guide" by Stern and Lake provides a comprehensive overview of the intricacies of tax examination and collection processes. While lacking in apparent connections to televised fashion events, the thorough understanding of tax administration serves as a backdrop against which our unorthodox investigation unfolds.

In the realm of fiction, "The Ledger and the Lace: A Financial Mystery" by Cashmere Wrangler, offers a whimsical narrative set in an alternate universe where tax examiners solve fiscal conundrums while adorned in extravagant lingerie-inspired attire - a testament to the curious imagination of authors and the unexpected blending of seemingly disparate domains.

While most would not associate cartoons and children's shows with tax compliance, the timeless classic "DuckTales" and its portrayal of Scrooge McDuck's financial acumen could offer subtle insights into the mind of a savvy revenue agent. Additionally, the meticulous record-keeping and monetary adventures in "Inspector Gadget" may provide a chuckle-inducing yet insightful parallel to the diligence and resourcefulness required in matters of taxation.

The insights garnered from this myriad of literature, both serious and whimsical, set the tone for our investigation into the intricate relationship between the viewership of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and the presence of tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents in Tennessee.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To disentangle the enigmatic nexus between the viewership of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and the employment dynamics of tax examiners and collectors, as well as revenue agents in Tennessee, our research team embarked on a methodological expedition involving data collection, manipulation, and analysis akin to a meticulous fashion designer crafting the perfect outfit. The dataset encompassed a period spanning from 2010 to 2018, sourced primarily from Wikipedia and the Bureau of Labor Statistics—a confluence of sources as diverse as the lingerie designs showcased on the illustrious runway.

The initial phase of our unorthodox endeavor involved sifting through a mélange of data sources, akin to separating a tangle of lacy undergarments (metaphorically speaking, of course), to extract the pertinent information on viewership figures of the annual fashion extravaganza and the employment statistics of tax professionals in the Volunteer State. The process, although less glamorous than the dazzling spectacle itself, required a blend of intuition and methodological rigor—the scholarly equivalent of finding the perfect balance between form and function.

Subsequently, our team harnessed the majestic powers of statistical software to perform a veritable symphony of regression analyses, culminating in an evaluation of the correlation coefficient between the number of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show viewers and the staffing levels of tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents. This statistical foray—reminiscent of an approximately eight-year sashay down a statistical catwalk—yielded a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9740199, evoking astonishment comparable to witnessing the seamless integration of lace and silk.

Additionally, to substantiate our findings, we diligently ensured that the relationship between the variables surpassed the conventional threshold for statistical significance, with a p-value less than 0.01. This validation, akin to the textile strength testing of delicate lingerie, underscored the robustness of our findings despite the whimsical undertone of our investigation.

In conclusion, our methodological escapade—a fusion of data wrangling, statistical wizardry, and a touch of whimsy—illumines the tantalizing perplexity of this phenomenon, prompting further scholarly contemplation and perhaps even a gentle chuckle at the surprising interconnectedness of what may seem, at first glance, to be disparate facets of human pursuit. As we consign this methodology to the annals of academic inquiry, we do so with the knowledge that our study has stitched together a tapestry of insights that teases the intellect and tickles the fancy, much like the unveiling of a meticulously tailored lingerie creation.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The correlations unveiled in our research, while seemingly outlandish at first glance, support the prior research in an unexpectedly compelling manner. Smith and Doe's (2015) pioneering work on the economic impact of televised fashion events laid the groundwork for our investigation, and their exploration of the connection between sartorial spectacles and workforce composition finds an unlikely echo in our findings. Just as a meticulously crafted outfit can accentuate one's assets, our analysis accentuates the intricate relationship between the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show viewership and the employment levels of tax professionals in Tennessee.

Similarly, Jones et al. (2018) may have stumbled upon a facet of their research that hitherto went unnoticed. While their focus centered on consumer spending patterns and televised entertainment, the ripple effect of extravagant visual displays appears to extend to the realm of public finance, suggesting a deeper, if somewhat unexpected, impact of glamour on revenue administration. Perhaps we should not be too quick to dismiss the allure of glistening lingerie and its role in shaping both consumer behavior and tax enforcement dynamics.

The offhand mention of Cashmere Wrangler's "The Ledger and the Lace: A Financial Mystery" in our literature review was not for naught. Indeed, the whimsical portrayal of tax examiners adorned in extravagant lingerie alludes to an unforeseen intertwinement of seemingly incongruous domains. Such literary eccentricities, while fictional, foreshadow the surprising nexus our research has unearthed between fashion indulgence and fiscal diligence.

Moreover, the subtle parallels drawn from popular culture, such as the financial acumen of Scrooge McDuck in "DuckTales" and the record-keeping prowess of "Inspector Gadget," offer an unexpected reflection of the diligence and resourcefulness required in matters of taxation. These seemingly frivolous references, when juxtaposed with our research findings, throw into stark relief the pervasive, if peculiar, influence of pop culture archetypes on the world of tax collection.

In essence, our investigation sheds light on an unexpected confluence of factors, emphasizing the intricate interplay between seemingly disparate realms. The profound implications of this serendipitous nexus between sartorial extravagance and fiscal adherence warrant further inquiry, not just for academic curiosity but also for a deeper understanding of the whimsical interactions that underpin our economic and social fabric. We invite the reader to ponder, not just the gravity-defying lingerie, but the gravity-defying correlations our research has brought to the forefront.

And thus, in the spirit of this unexpected journey, we find ourselves at the intersection of frivolity and fiscal prudence, where the line between lace and ledger blurs, and where, quite ironically, a serious inquiry into tax enforcement leads us through the whimsical alleys of haute couture.

Correlation r = 0.9740199 (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 = 0.9487147 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of tax examiners and collectors, and revenue agents in Tennessee) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Number of viewers of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show) over the 9 years from 2010 through 2018.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.07E-6. 0.0000090732173421313030000000
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 0.97 in 0.000907% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 110,214 random variables You don't actually need 110 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 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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.

[ 0.88, 0.99 ] 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. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
  5. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
