[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we delve into the unexpected and somewhat quirky connection between solar power generation in Tunisia and the Google searches for the online game 'Roblox', it is imperative to first explore existing literature on renewable energy and its potential impact on online activities.

Smith et al. (2015) examined the societal implications of solar energy adoption in various regions, focusing on environmental and economic factors. Meanwhile, Doe and Jones (2018) presented a comprehensive analysis of online gaming trends and their correlation with technological advancements. These studies lay the groundwork for our investigation into the intersection of solar power generation and virtual gaming interests.

Turning to the broader context of energy utilization, "The Economics of Renewable Energy" by Johnson (2019) provided valuable insights into the multifaceted dynamics of renewable energy adoption and its implications for societal behavior. In a similar vein, "The Digital Age: Online Communities and Virtual Worlds" by Brown (2016) offered a comprehensive exploration of the evolving landscape of online leisure activities, setting the stage for our exploration of the peculiar correlation between solar power generation and online gaming interests.

Moving into the realm of fiction, "Solaris" by Stanisław Lem and "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline, while not directly related to our study, intriguingly embody elements of space exploration and virtual gaming, albeit in a more fantastical context.

But of course, we didn't stop there. Our thorough investigation also included a review of the back covers of shampoo bottles – just in case they held any hidden insights into the relationship between solar power and virtual gaming. While our findings in this area were less than enlightening, we can confirm that our hair has never been shinier.

In the next section, we will present the methodology utilized for our analysis and unveil the remarkable findings that have baffled and bemused our research team. It's time to shed some light on this curious correlation and see if we can't illuminate the unexpected intersection of Tunisian sunshine and 'Roblox' online fun time.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
As we delve into the unexpected and somewhat quirky connection between solar power generation in Tunisia and the Google searches for the online game 'Roblox', it is imperative to first explore existing literature on renewable energy and its potential impact on online activities.
Smith et al. (2015) examined the societal implications of solar energy adoption in various regions, focusing on environmental and economic factors. Meanwhile, Doe and Jones (2018) presented a comprehensive analysis of online gaming trends and their correlation with technological advancements. These studies lay the groundwork for our investigation into the intersection of solar power generation and virtual gaming interests.
Turning to the broader context of energy utilization, "The Economics of Renewable Energy" by Johnson (2019) provided valuable insights into the multifaceted dynamics of renewable energy adoption and its implications for societal behavior. In a similar vein, "The Digital Age: Online Communities and Virtual Worlds" by Brown (2016) offered a comprehensive exploration of the evolving landscape of online leisure activities, setting the stage for our exploration of the peculiar correlation between solar power generation and online gaming interests.
Moving into the realm of fiction, "Solaris" by Stanisław Lem and "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline, while not directly related to our study, intriguingly embody elements of space exploration and virtual gaming, albeit in a more fantastical context.
But of course, we didn't stop there. Our thorough investigation also included a review of the back covers of shampoo bottles – just in case they held any hidden insights into the relationship between solar power and virtual gaming. While our findings in this area were less than enlightening, we can confirm that our hair has never been shinier.
In the next section, we will present the methodology utilized for our analysis and unveil the remarkable findings that have baffled and bemused our research team. It's time to shed some light on this curious correlation and see if we can't illuminate the unexpected intersection of Tunisian sunshine and 'Roblox' online fun time.

Correlation r = 0.9880264 (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 = 0.9761962 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'roblox') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in Tunisia) over the 12 years from 2010 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.9E-9. 0.0000000018997014566119840000
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 1.9E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 526,398,501 random variables You don't actually need 526 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 11 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 11 because we have two variables measured over a period of 12 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.

Reuseable content

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.
