AI explanation

It turns out, as people pondered the pronunciation of eleven, a linguistics enthusiast in Romania launched a campaign to switch to a more phonetic-based system. This led to the creation of "onety one" as the new word for eleven in Romanian. As the absurdity of this new term gained popularity, the government decided to distract the population with a nationwide kerosene ban, effectively putting an end to any heated discussions about onety one. The citizens were too busy adjusting to this linguistic quirk, and the demand for kerosene plummeted as everyone switched to using alternative fuels like the combustible nature of the Romanian language. And that's how a decrease in 'why isn't 11 pronounced onety one' searches sparked a fiery language revolution and doused the kerosene usage in Romania!

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unravel the curious connection between Google searches for "why isn't 11 pronounced onety one" and kerosene usage in Romania, our research team embarked on a methodological journey as intricate as untangling a ball of yarn. We began by harvesting data from Google Trends, where the ebbs and flows of linguistic musings were charted with the precision of a wordsmith carefully crafting a sonnet. Concurrently, we delved into the Energy Information Administration's archives, where the luminous data on kerosene usage awaited our gaze, shining like a beacon in the night.

With our data sources secured, we engaged in a multidimensional analysis that rivals the complexities of deciphering an ancient manuscript. We harnessed the power of statistical tools to measure the strength of the relationship between Google searches for our linguistic enigma and the utilization of kerosene in Romania. The correlation coefficient served as our guiding star through this analytical odyssey, shedding light on the magnitude of the association.

Furthermore, our research team employed time series analysis techniques to detect temporal patterns and trends in these seemingly disparate phenomena. We navigated the ebbs and flows of Google searches and kerosene usage with the dexterity of a tightrope walker, seeking patterns that transcended the passage of time. This allowed us to capture the essence of change and continuity, akin to tracing the flickering of a flame against the night sky.

In a daring display of computational prowess, we leveraged advanced modeling and visualization techniques to bring our findings to life. Much like a magician with a deck of cards, we conjured visual representations of our data, allowing the patterns to dance, as if in a flamenco of statistical significance. The storytelling power of our data visualization is comparable to that of a master bard, weaving a tale of intrigue and illumination.

Finally, in a display of scholarly rigor, we subjected our results to sensitivity analyses and cross-validation exercises. Through these labyrinthine pathways of validation, we sought to ensure that our findings were not mere mirages in the desert of statistical exploration but solid pillars on which to build future inquiries. As the saying goes, trust, but verify—much like dousing a flame to ensure it is extinguished.

In the end, our methodology was a tapestry of complexity, interwoven with technical marvels and analytical acumen, not unlike a finely crafted linguistic riddle that unfolds with each careful consideration. Our findings emerged from this methodological cauldron, not as a mere concoction of numbers and trends, but as a nexus of curiosity, connection, and, dare I say, a touch of fiery wit.

Correlation r = 0.8208854 (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 = 0.6738529 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 67.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Kerosene used in Romania) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Google searches for 'why isnt 11 pronounced onety one') over the 18 years from 2004 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.0E-5. 0.0000298588257366938150000000
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 0.82 in 0.003% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 33,491 random variables You don't actually need 33 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 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.

[ 0.57, 0.93 ] 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.
