Their findings pointed to an unexpected yet statistically significant relationship between the linguistic features of tech video titles and the workforce in various industrial sectors, bridging the seemingly disparate domains of technology and manual labor.

In a related vein, "The Digital Age in Industrial America" by Brown (2016) provides a comprehensive examination of the sociocultural impact of technological advancement on traditional industrial occupations, offering a backdrop for our inquiry into the collision of high-tech linguistics and the steadfast world of forging machine operators.

Turning to the realm of fiction, the ever-popular "The Cyber Forge Chronicles" by Johnson (2019) presents a fantastical narrative of technologically adept artisans crafting a digital utopia, serving as an amusing, albeit tangential, inspiration for our exploration of the interplay between high-tech YouTube rhetoric and the tangible realm of metal and plastic forging.

Venturing even further into the realms of unexpected sources, the hallowed annals of humor and absurdity, "The Complete Works of Silly Puns" by Jester (2020), provided a refreshing dose of levity and wordplay, reminding us to approach our research with a dash of merriment and a flourished pen. As we gleefully wade through the literature, it is essential to infuse scholarly pursuits with a sprinkle of whimsy, for in the pursuit of knowledge, a hearty chuckle often proves to be the best companion.

And as for our most unconventional of sources, the gripping saga of the forgotten CVS receipts scattered across the land serves as a lighthearted reminder of the unexpected places from which insights can emerge. While we jest about the absurdity of sifting through till rolls for scholarly inspiration, it is a testament to the whimsical nature of knowledge acquisition – a peculiar venture that occasionally leads us down unexpected, convoluted pathways in pursuit of truth, however eccentric they may be.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In their seminal work, Smith et al. (2017) explored the linguistic nuances of technology-related YouTube video titles and their potential impact on occupational preferences. Their study uncovered compelling evidence of a correlation between the eloquence of video titles and the viewers' engagement, setting the stage for our whimsical foray into the quirkier side of occupational influences.
Building on this foundation, Doe and Jones (2018) delved into the realm of digital rhetoric and its implications for industrial labor dynamics. Their findings pointed to an unexpected yet statistically significant relationship between the linguistic features of tech video titles and the workforce in various industrial sectors, bridging the seemingly disparate domains of technology and manual labor.
In a related vein, "The Digital Age in Industrial America" by Brown (2016) provides a comprehensive examination of the sociocultural impact of technological advancement on traditional industrial occupations, offering a backdrop for our inquiry into the collision of high-tech linguistics and the steadfast world of forging machine operators.
Turning to the realm of fiction, the ever-popular "The Cyber Forge Chronicles" by Johnson (2019) presents a fantastical narrative of technologically adept artisans crafting a digital utopia, serving as an amusing, albeit tangential, inspiration for our exploration of the interplay between high-tech YouTube rhetoric and the tangible realm of metal and plastic forging.
Venturing even further into the realms of unexpected sources, the hallowed annals of humor and absurdity, "The Complete Works of Silly Puns" by Jester (2020), provided a refreshing dose of levity and wordplay, reminding us to approach our research with a dash of merriment and a flourished pen. As we gleefully wade through the literature, it is essential to infuse scholarly pursuits with a sprinkle of whimsy, for in the pursuit of knowledge, a hearty chuckle often proves to be the best companion.
And as for our most unconventional of sources, the gripping saga of the forgotten CVS receipts scattered across the land serves as a lighthearted reminder of the unexpected places from which insights can emerge. While we jest about the absurdity of sifting through till rolls for scholarly inspiration, it is a testament to the whimsical nature of knowledge acquisition – a peculiar venture that occasionally leads us down unexpected, convoluted pathways in pursuit of truth, however eccentric they may be.

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our study revealed a striking correlation between the professional-sounding titles of technology-related YouTube videos and the employment of forging machine setters, operators, and tenders, metal and plastic in Oregon. The correlation coefficient of 0.9831027 suggested a remarkably strong relationship between these seemingly distinct realms. To put it in non-academic terms, the connection between these variables was as clear as a high-definition video on the latest smartphone.
With an r-squared value of 0.9664909, our findings indicated that approximately 96.65% of the variation in the employment of forging machine operators could be explained by the variation in the professional-sounding tech video titles. Essentially, it's as if the language used to describe the latest gadgets and gizmos on YouTube was directly influencing the decisions of individuals in the forging industry. Now that's what we call "word-of-mouth marketing" taken to a whole new level.
Furthermore, the p-value of less than 0.01 demonstrated a statistically significant association between the linguistic features of tech video titles and the workforce in Oregon's forging industry. It's safe to say that statistically speaking, the relationship was stronger than a titanium alloy.
To visually encapsulate this delightful correlation, we present Figure 1, a scatterplot that showcases the robust association between the professional-sounding tech video titles and the number of forging machine setters, operators, and tenders in Oregon. It’s like a work of art, except instead of paintbrush strokes, we have data points that tell a whimsical tale of technological influence on industrial employment.
In conclusion, our findings underscore the importance of considering the unexpected impact of seemingly unrelated variables in today's technology-driven world. Who would have thought that the way tech YouTubers craft their video titles could have an impact on the forging industry in Oregon? This study serves as a playful reminder that when it comes to understanding the quirks of the modern world, sometimes the most unexpected connections yield the most intriguing results.

Correlation r = 0.9831027 (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 = 0.9664909 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 96.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of forging machine setters, operators, and tenders, metal and plastic in Oregon) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How professional-sounding Technology Connections YouTube video titles are) over the 6 years from 2015 through 2020.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00043. 0.0004258653080917173300000000
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 0.98 in 0.043% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,348 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 5 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 5 because we have two variables measured over a period of 6 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.

[ 0.85, 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.
  5. 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.
