[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the sometimes mind-boggling world of academia, there are research topics that make perfect sense, such as studying the effects of climate change on agricultural yields, and then there are those that make you scratch your head in wonder, like investigating the connection between voting patterns in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yes, you read that right. This study is not an attempt at a light-hearted joke but rather a serious exploration of an unexpected correlation that left our team of researchers equally bemused and intrigued.

Picture this: a voter in West Virginia decides between candidates, perhaps pondering democratic principles or the state of the economy, while across the ocean in Bosnia and Herzegovina, someone is flipping a switch to power up the lights. The apparent lack of connection between these two seemingly unrelated activities is what makes this investigation both confounding and undeniably amusing.

As researchers, we are accustomed to uncovering meaningful associations and drawing well-founded conclusions. However, every so often, a data set comes along that throws us a curveball, and we find ourselves delving into the realm of statistical anomalies and quirky connections. Such is the case with the correlation we stumbled upon between wacky West Virginia votes and Bosnian electricity generation.

On a more serious note, the purpose of this study is not just to entertain with whimsical anecdotes about odd correlations but to delve into the statistically significant relationship between these seemingly unconnected phenomena. Through rigorous data analysis and examination of electoral and energy statistics from the past few decades, we teased out a rather surprising correlation coefficient of 0.9685574, with a p-value indicating a high level of significance. In simpler terms, the numbers have spoken, and they seem to insist that there is indeed a perplexing relationship between votes cast in West Virginia and the generation of electricity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Join us as we embark on this unexpected and somewhat comical journey through the world of data analysis and statistical anomalies. While the topic may appear whimsical at first glance, the implications of our findings and the methodological approach we have adopted are as rigorous and serious as in any other academic investigation. So, buckle up, and let's explore the bizarro world of West Virginian votes and Bosnian electricity generation!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find that votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia exhibit a curious pattern of fluctuation over time. Furthermore, in "Doe and Jones," the authors explore the intricate dynamics of electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, revealing the complex interplay between renewable and non-renewable sources.

On a more tangential note, Gavin the Electrician, in "The Light Switch Chronicles," examines the deep existential questions that might plague Bosnian light switches as they power the nation. Each flick of the switch could very well reflect the hopes and dreams of a nation or simply stem from a case of faulty wiring. After all, current affairs aren't just about politics but also, quite literally, about electric currents.

Turning to the world of fiction, "The Shocking Truth" by Watt E. Watts delves into the enigmatic world of electrical conspiracy theories, where every jolt of power hides a scandalous secret waiting to be uncovered. Could it be that the electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina holds the key to unlocking the cryptic mysteries of West Virginian voting patterns? Unlikely, but why not entertain the idea for a spark of literary amusement?

Now, as we venture into the more unconventional side of our literature review, we'd be remiss not to mention the insightful revelations from perusing random grocery store receipts. While analyzing stacks of CVS and Walmart receipts may seem unconventional, you'd be surprised just how much one can glean from the purchasing habits of the average snack-hungry consumer. Who's to say that a correlation between snack choices and political inclinations doesn't lie hidden within those crumpled pieces of thermal paper? Alas, our own snack cravings may have occasionally distracted us from the task at hand, but never fear, the correlations were solely snack-based, and no conclusions were drawn from our impromptu "receipt analysis."

In conclusion, the interplay between West Virginian votes for the Republican presidential candidate and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is undoubtedly a peculiar topic, ripe for both serious exploration and whimsical contemplation. As we proceed to analyze the scholarly and, ahem, less scholarly sources, we aim to unravel the enigma behind this unlikely relationship and shed some light on the electrifying connection between votes and volts.

[[DISCUSSION]]

Our findings provide compelling support for the previously established research on the unlikely relationship between votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The robust correlation coefficient of 0.9685574 echoes the peculiar patterns identified by Smith et al., which hinted at the enigmatic fluctuations in West Virginian voting behavior. This correlation is as electrifying as a lightning storm in July – if lightning storms coincidentally happened every four years during presidential elections.

Similarly, our results align with the intricate dynamics of electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as explored by Doe and Jones. It appears that the whims of West Virginian voters may indeed hold sway over the energy landscape in a corner of the world far removed from the Appalachian Mountains. Who would have thought that the power to illuminate Bosnian cities and towns could be influenced by the political preferences of Mountaineers? Alas, the unseen webs of influence in the world never fail to amaze.

The literature review also hinted at the fictional and unorthodox sources of insight, invoking the spirit of Watt E. Watts and Gavin the Electrician. While perhaps not taken seriously by the typical scholarly discourse, their narratives seem mysteriously prophetic in light of our empirical findings. Perhaps there is more truth in those zany tales than meets the eye – or in this case, the voltage meter.

As for the grocery store receipts and their potential implications on our study, we cannot discount the possibility that the snack choices of West Virginians may bear some relation to their political inclinations. After all, correlations are where you least expect them. Our own occasional distractions with crumpled pieces of thermal paper, while admittedly not relevant to our study, have only reinforced our commitment to uncovering unexpected connections in the web of data.

In sum, our research provides clear evidence of the captivating correlation between West Virginian votes and Bosnian electricity, challenging preconceived notions of logical connections. The true power of this connection, both statistically and conceptually, has been illuminated by our findings, leaving us eager to unravel more of the mysteries that undoubtedly lurk in the ever-expansive world of data analysis. After all, as scholars and humorists alike have mused, there's an electrifying thrill in discovering the unexpected – and it just might spark a revolution in how we perceive the interplay of seemingly unrelated phenomena.

[[ABSTRACT]]
This peculiar paper plumbs the preposterous connection between votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Armed with data from MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Harvard Dataverse, and the Energy Information Administration, our research team delved into this confounding correlation from 1992 to 2020. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9685574 and p < 0.01, our findings stand as a testament to the mind-boggling nature of statistical coincidences. Join us on this whimsical journey through the seemingly unrelated realms of votes and volts!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
In the sometimes mind-boggling world of academia, there are research topics that make perfect sense, such as studying the effects of climate change on agricultural yields, and then there are those that make you scratch your head in wonder, like investigating the connection between voting patterns in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yes, you read that right. This study is not an attempt at a light-hearted joke but rather a serious exploration of an unexpected correlation that left our team of researchers equally bemused and intrigued.
Picture this: a voter in West Virginia decides between candidates, perhaps pondering democratic principles or the state of the economy, while across the ocean in Bosnia and Herzegovina, someone is flipping a switch to power up the lights. The apparent lack of connection between these two seemingly unrelated activities is what makes this investigation both confounding and undeniably amusing.
As researchers, we are accustomed to uncovering meaningful associations and drawing well-founded conclusions. However, every so often, a data set comes along that throws us a curveball, and we find ourselves delving into the realm of statistical anomalies and quirky connections. Such is the case with the correlation we stumbled upon between wacky West Virginia votes and Bosnian electricity generation.
On a more serious note, the purpose of this study is not just to entertain with whimsical anecdotes about odd correlations but to delve into the statistically significant relationship between these seemingly unconnected phenomena. Through rigorous data analysis and examination of electoral and energy statistics from the past few decades, we teased out a rather surprising correlation coefficient of 0.9685574, with a p-value indicating a high level of significance. In simpler terms, the numbers have spoken, and they seem to insist that there is indeed a perplexing relationship between votes cast in West Virginia and the generation of electricity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Join us as we embark on this unexpected and somewhat comical journey through the world of data analysis and statistical anomalies. While the topic may appear whimsical at first glance, the implications of our findings and the methodological approach we have adopted are as rigorous and serious as in any other academic investigation. So, buckle up, and let's explore the bizarro world of West Virginian votes and Bosnian electricity generation!

[[RESULTS]]
Our analysis revealed a striking correlation between votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 2020. The correlation coefficient of 0.9685574 suggests a remarkably strong relationship between these seemingly disparate factors. Even in the wild world of statistical anomalies, this finding stands out as a particularly peculiar one.
The high r-squared value of 0.9381035 further underscores the robustness of this correlation, indicating that a substantial portion of the variance in electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be explained by the votes cast in West Virginia. It's as if each vote carries a jolt of energy that travels all the way across the globe to power the generators in Bosnia and Herzegovina!
As for the p-value, well, it is so small that it deserves its own spotlight. With p < 0.01, our findings are not just statistically significant; they are practically shouting for attention. This level of significance leaves little room for doubt – the relationship between these two variables is no fluke. Perhaps it's time to consider adding "predicting electricity generation based on West Virginian voting patterns" to the list of election analyst skills.
In summary, our research has unearthed a curious connection between the political choices of residents in West Virginia and the generation of electricity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The implications of this correlation are as baffling as they are intriguing, and they stand as a reminder that the world of data analysis is indeed filled with surprises. We invite readers to ponder the implications of this bizarre correlation and to question what other unexpected connections might be hiding in the vast expanse of data. After all, as our findings illustrate, sometimes the most unlikely pairings can spark electrifying revelations.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our study has shed light on the shockingly strong correlation between votes for the Republican presidential candidate in West Virginia and electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. While initially baffling, our findings paint a picture of an electrifying relationship that defies conventional wisdom. The high correlation coefficient and r-squared value suggest that the votes cast in West Virginia truly pack a powerful punch when it comes to influencing the generation of electricity in a far-off land. One might even say that these votes have the potential to spark a global energy revolution!

The significance of our results cannot be overstated, and the implications of this correlation extend beyond the realms of conventional understanding. While it may seem like a whimsical oddity, the statistical significance of our findings demands serious consideration. It is as if the very act of casting a vote in West Virginia sends a surge of energy across the globe, directly impacting the generation of electricity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's a peculiar connection, to say the least, but one that we cannot afford to overlook.

However, as much as we've enjoyed delving into this electrically charged journey of statistical anomalies and unexpected correlations, it's time to pull the plug on any further research in this area. Our findings stand as a testament to the capricious nature of data analysis, and any further exploration might just send us down a rabbit hole of even more preposterous pairings. Sometimes, it's best to leave well enough alone and simply marvel at the improbable connections that statistical analysis can reveal.

In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Energy and persistence conquer all things," and indeed, our persistence in uncovering this unlikely relationship has led to an exhilarating discovery. As we wrap up this investigation into the entangled realms of West Virginian votes and Bosnian electricity, we hope that our findings will serve as a lighthearted yet enlightening reminder that the world of data analysis is filled with both marvels and mysteries, and that unpredictability is a spark that ignites the flames of discovery.

Correlation r = 0.9685574 (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 = 0.9381035 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Electricity generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Votes for the Republican Presidential candidate in West Virginia) over the 8 years from 1992 through 2020.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.6E-5. 0.0000758920008603334100000000
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 0.0076% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 13,177 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.

[ 0.83, 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.
