[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The exploration of the connection between YouTube video titles and labor market trends is not a novel pursuit. Previous studies have delved into the psychological impact of compelling titles, such as Smith's seminal work "The Power of Persuasion: Unlocking the Influence of Captivating Content" and Doe's comprehensive analysis in "The Art of Click-Worthy Titles: A Behavioral Economics Perspective." These studies offer a serious examination of the sway that engaging titles hold over consumer behavior and decision-making processes.

However, as we venture into the whimsical intersection between The Game Theorists' YouTube video titles and the curious employment patterns of coaches and scouts in New Hampshire, we cannot help but embrace a more light-hearted approach. In "The Quirky Quandary of YouTube Video Titles on the Labor Frontier," Jones et al. amusingly contemplate the potential ripple effects of popular online content on real-world occupations, providing a playful backdrop for our own investigation.

On a more tangential note, the literary world has also seen its fair share of works that indirectly touch upon the themes of strategic allure and vocational charm. For instance, "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal captures the essence of captivating content, albeit within the domain of product design and consumer engagement. And who can ignore the enchanting allure woven into the fictional narratives of "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald? While seemingly unrelated, these works serve as a reminder of the pervasive nature of enticement and magnetic appeal in various realms of human activity.

In the realm of cinema, the intersection of gaming, persuasion, and vocational intrigue could not be more eloquently portrayed than in the film "Moneyball." As we embark on our own analytical journey, we find camaraderie in the ingenuity and unconventional tactics employed by the film's protagonists, resonating with the spirit of our venture into the uncharted territory of correlations and curiosities.

With this buoyant backdrop in mind, we step into the uncharted waters of scholarly investigation with a sense of mirth and anticipation, fully prepared to unravel the unexpected correlations and enigmatic intersections that lie ahead.

Correlation r = 0.8676443 (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 = 0.7528066 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 75.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of coaches and scouts in New Hampshire) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How good The Game Theorists YouTube video titles are) over the 14 years from 2009 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.801E-5. 0.0000580059947709961100000000
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 0.87 in 0.005801% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 17,240 random variables Which I absolutely did.
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.

[ 0.62, 0.96 ] 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. 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.
