AI explanation

The increase in wind power generated in Vietnam has led to stronger, more assertive breezes. As a result, people are inadvertently being involved in more intense games of 'who can blink more' with the wind. Constantly trying to out-blink the gusts has put a strain on their eye muscles, leading to an uptick in migraines as a result of 'wind-induced blink fatigue.'

Smith and Doe (2015) delved into the environmental and health implications of renewable energy sources, shedding light on the potential impact of wind power on public well-being. Jones (2017) expanded on this foundation, examining the psychological and physiological effects of environmental factors on human health, igniting curiosity about the unexpected ways in which natural elements can influence our daily lives.
Venturing into non-fiction works, the seminal "The Wind and the Willows: A Journey into Renewable Energy" by Eco Warrior et al. (2020) presents a comprehensive analysis of wind power's ecological footprint, prompting readers to ponder the interconnectedness of nature and human endeavors. Adding a fictional twist, "Gone with the Wind Turbines" by Windy Author (2018) weaves a tantalizing tale of romance and turbulence against the backdrop of a wind-powered world, uncovering the captivating allure and potential pitfalls of harnessing the wind's energy.
Now, as we embark on this breezy quest, let us not forget the power of internet culture in shaping our understanding of human behavior. Memes such as the "Is this a pigeon?" phenomenon, echoing the confusion and unexpected realizations that may arise from seemingly unrelated factors, serve as a whimsical reminder of the peculiar connections we may encounter in our research. Similarly, the "Distracted Boyfriend" meme encapsulates the allure of unconventional attractions, mirroring the unexpected allure of our study's peculiar correlation between wind power and migraine inquiries.
So, armed with the wisdom of scholarly discourse, a dash of literary charm, and a sprinkle of internet whimsy, we set the stage for a whimsical yet serious examination of the relationship between wind power generation and the enigmatic wave of "why do I have a migraine" Google searches.

[[RESULTS]]
We conducted an in-depth analysis of wind power generation in Vietnam and the volume of Google searches for "why do I have a migraine" from 2008 to 2021. Our findings revealed a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9875851 and an r-squared value of 0.9753244. The p-value of less than 0.01 further solidifies the strength of the observed association.
Figure 1 presents a scatterplot that vividly illustrates the substantial correlation between wind power generation in Vietnam and the frequency of Google searches for migraine-related inquiries. The data points form a compelling pattern akin to the winding path of a gusty zephyr, leaving little doubt about the noteworthy connection between these disparate phenomena.
Just like a light breeze can turn into a mighty wind, the correlation we uncovered blew us away with its strength. It seems that as wind power output fluctuates in Vietnam, the virtual storm of "why do I have a migraine" searches intensifies on the digital horizon.
We can't help but reflect on the classic joke: "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts." Similarly, our findings reveal the gutsy nature of this correlation, defying convention and demanding attention, much like a persistent, unwelcome migraine.
In conclusion, our research provides compelling evidence of a robust correlation between wind power generation in Vietnam and the incidence of migraine-related searches on Google.

Correlation r = 0.9875851 (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 = 0.9753244 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'why do i have a migraine') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Wind power generated in Vietnam) over the 14 years from 2008 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.1E-11. 0.0000000000514710570401790640
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 0.99 in 5.1E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 19,428,394,471 random variables You don't actually need 19 billion 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 13 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 13 because we have two variables measured over a period of 14 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.

[ 0.96, 1 ] 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.
