AI explanation

As the number of lawyers in the United States increased, so did the amount of paperwork and legal jargon. This inadvertently led to more people seeking lighthearted entertainment to balance out the serious and complex nature of the legal world. Simone Giertz's quirky and amusing YouTube videos became a go-to source of comic relief, boosting her total likes as viewers turned to her unique content to escape the legal mumbo jumbo. It's a case of laughter being the best (legal) medicine! Or perhaps, as the legal field expanded, so did the demand for unconventional robot humor, creating a circuitous connection between lawyers and Giertz's YouTube popularity.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In their study "The Legal Landscape: A Comprehensive Analysis of Legal Professionals in the United States," Smith et al. delve into the nuanced demographics of the legal profession, examining the distribution of lawyers across different states and practice areas. While their focus lies on the structural composition of the legal workforce, the potential implications of the number of lawyers on digital phenomena remain unexplored. It's like they're meticulously laying the groundwork for a case, only to stumble upon a humorous legal loophole!

Furthermore, Doe's research in "The Evolution of Legal Education in the 21st Century" offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing trends in legal academia and the skill set demanded of future lawyers. However, the unforeseen impact of these evolving legal skills on the realm of YouTube likes remains conspicuously absent from the scope of their investigation. It's like they forgot to cross-examine the potential influence of legal education on digital admiration!

Jones et al., in their work "Legal Ethics in a Global Context," investigate the ethical dilemmas faced by legal professionals in an increasingly interconnected world. While their examination of ethical conundrums is undoubtedly enlightening, the connection between ethical lawyering and the online popularity of Simone Giertz's videos escapes their purview. It's like they're so focused on ethical quandaries that they missed the ethical duty to explore unforeseen correlations in the digital sphere!

Taking a departure from legal literature, the book "Robotic Revolution: How Technology is Shaping Our Future" by Robotics Industry Association provides a comprehensive overview of the growing impact of robotics in various domains. Though not directly related to the legal profession, this insightful work hints at the technological advancements that underpin Simone Giertz's creative endeavors and potential implications for the legal-YouTube likes correlation. It's like a robot lawyer making a compelling case for its relevance in this study!

On the fictional front, Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" weaves a thrilling tale of symbology and cryptic puzzles, drawing readers into a world of hidden connections and unexpected revelations. While the book's plot centers on historical enigmas, the spirit of unraveling mysterious correlations aligns with our endeavor to decode the digital intrigue between lawyers and Simone Giertz's YouTube popularity. It's like we're on the verge of cracking a code that will reveal the legal-da Vinci correlation!

Adding a cinematic touch, "Legally Blonde" and "RoboCop" emerge as tangentially related films that humorously blend legal drama with technological innovation. While the former follows the comedic journey of a law student defying stereotypes, the latter delves into a dystopian future where robotic law enforcement collides with human ethics. These movies, though seemingly unrelated, mirror the unexpected fusion of domains that our study aims to explore. It's like Legally Blonde meets RoboCop in a courtroom where justice is served with a robotic twist!

As we traverse the realms of legal scholarship, fictional narratives, and cinematic portrayals, the uncharted territory of our research opens doors to unexpected parallels and humorous juxtapositions. It's like we're navigating a legal labyrinth, only to stumble upon a robot making dad jokes in the corner!

To embark on this peculiar journey of uncovering the correlation between the number of lawyers in the United States and the total likes on Simone Giertz's YouTube videos, our research team had to navigate through a maze of data sources like Indiana Jones looking for lost artifacts, except instead of ancient relics, we were hunting for statistical treasure in the depths of the internet. With our metaphorical fedoras on and bullwhips cracking (metaphorically, of course), we scoured through the American Bar Association (ABA) databases and Simone Giertz's YouTube channel analytics to unearth the gems of information required for this unlikely investigation. It was like trying to find a loophole in a legal contract – convoluted, yet oddly satisfying.

Our data collection spanned from 2014 to 2022, encapsulating a period that witnessed significant changes in both the legal landscape and the evolution of Simone Giertz's whimsical robotic creations. We wanted a comprehensive view of the legal eagles' ascent intertwined with Simone's steeple of likes, much like a legal document that gets longer and longer as it delves into more obscure clauses – complex, but absolutely necessary.

The number of lawyers in the United States was obtained from the meticulous records of the American Bar Association, painstakingly gathered and organized by legal professionals with the same diligence they use to draft legal briefs. We wanted to ensure that our data was as precise as a carefully scripted legal argument – no room for error, only airtight facts.

In parallel, we turned our attention to the captivating world of Simone Giertz's YouTube channel, where we combed through the metrics of total likes on her videos. It was like trying to summarize a deposition into a concise argument – sifting through masses of data to distill the essence of digital adoration.

But our methodology didn't stop at mere data collection – oh no, that would be too easy! To explore the correlation between these seemingly disparate entities, we employed a series of statistical analyses that would make even the most seasoned researcher raise an eyebrow in admiration. We subjected the data to rigorous regression analyses, correlation tests, and other statistical wizardry to extract the sweet nectar of correlation coefficients and p-values. It was like preparing a legal argument with a pinch of charm and a dash of statistical finesse – unexpected, but undeniably effective.

Stay tuned for more surprises as we unleash the results of our groundbreaking analysis in the following sections. It's as thrilling as a dramatic courtroom reveal, but with a refreshing sprinkle of statistical humor – because in this paper, even the data gets to join in on the fun!

Correlation r = 0.9656247 (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 = 0.9324310 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total likes of Simone Giertz's YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Number of Lawyers in the United States) over the 9 years from 2014 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.4E-5. 0.0000239771248137935620000000
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 0.0024% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 41,706 random variables You don't actually need 41 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. 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.

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.

[ 0.84, 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 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.

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.
