[[METHODOLOGY]]

To tackle the intriguing puzzle of the relationship between the number of childcare workers in Hawaii and customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com, our research team adopted an eclectic mix of data collection and analysis methods. It's as if we were making a blend of poi and poke - an unusual mix but somehow it works!

First and foremost, we gathered data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which provided us with the number of childcare workers employed in Hawaii from 2010 to 2021. We watched those numbers like a hawk, not a Hawaiian hawk (the 'io) but a metaphorical one, as we knew that uncovering these statistics was like finding a hidden treasure in a sea cave.

Next, to measure customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com, we turned to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). Their data on customer evaluations and preferences served as our compass in navigating the choppy seas of online news satisfaction. We were like sailors, using ACSI as our guiding North Star, navigating the often treacherous waters of customer opinions.

Once we had gathered our data, we donned our research snorkels and dived into the statistical sea. We performed a series of correlation analyses to uncover potential associations between the number of childcare workers in Hawaii and customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com. We didn't just dip our toes in; we did a full-on cannonball into the pool of statistical analysis, making waves in the world of research like a mermaid on a mission.

To ensure the robustness of our findings, we employed a variety of statistical techniques, including Pearson correlation coefficients, regression analyses, and even a random forest analysis - because who doesn't love a statistical forest adventure? We wanted to cover all the bases, much like a baseball player vying for a grand slam, but with data analysis instead of bats and balls.

Lastly, as a nod to the tropical locale that inspired our research, we conducted a thematic analysis, channeling the laid-back vibes of Hawaiian beaches into our qualitative assessment of the data. We sifted through the findings like a beachcomber searching for seashells, carefully examining the qualitative nuances that complemented our quantitative analyses.

In short, our methodology was a concoction of data mining, statistical acrobatics, and a sprinkle of aloha spirit, resulting in a research adventure as colorful as a Hawaiian sunset and as invigorating as catching a wave on the North Shore.

The results of our research revealed a surprisingly strong and statistically significant correlation between the number of childcare workers in Hawaii and customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9359554 and an r-squared value of 0.8760125, our findings had us doing the hula in disbelief at the strength of this relationship.

Fig. 1 illustrates this connection beautifully, resembling a colorful lei made of data points. It's as if the childcare workers were the hula dancers, and ABCNews.com's customer satisfaction was the mesmerized audience swaying along.

Our data left us pondering the idea that perhaps the laid-back and joyful atmosphere of Hawaii permeates through the internet waves to positively influence the online experience of news consumers. It seems that the aloha spirit extends beyond leis and luaus, encompassing the digital world as well.

The p-value of less than 0.01 was as rare and precious as a perfect wave along the North Shore. It indicated with a winking coconut tree that the likelihood of this correlation occurring by mere chance was as unlikely as finding a spam musubi at a New York deli.

In conclusion, our research not only highlights the unexpected connection between childcare workers in Hawaii and online news satisfaction but also serves as a reminder that in the vast ocean of data, sometimes the most surprising correlations wash ashore, leaving us pleasantly puzzled and entertained like a game of limbo.

This is just the tip of the palm tree, and there may be a treasure trove of unexpected correlations waiting to be uncovered. So grab your snorkels and let's dive deeper into the delightful mysteries of data analysis.

The results of our research have left us feeling like we've stumbled upon the hidden treasure at the end of a digital rainbow - a glittering and unexpected correlation between two seemingly unrelated entities. The strong and statistically significant correlation we uncovered between the number of childcare workers in Hawaii and customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com has us scratching our heads (and reaching for our sunhats). But wait, before you roll your eyes and say "that's as likely as finding a pineapple in Alaska," hear us out.

Our findings are like discovering a fresh coconut in the urban jungle of statistical analysis. They corroborate Smith et al.'s exploration of the scarcity of childcare workers in Hawaii, and the concerns that this shortage raises for the community. Just like the elusive quest for a perfect wave, our research has shown that the influence of childcare workers in Hawaii extends beyond the sandy shores, potentially shaping the digital experiences of news consumers across the Pacific.

Building upon the digital dance examined by Doe, our results nudge us to consider the role of user experience in the online news ecosystem. Unlike a misplaced lei, our findings fit snugly into the backdrop of previous research, reinforcing the idea that the digital realm is akin to a bustling luau, where every aspect, be it the music, the food, or the dancers, contributes to the overall ambiance.

Jones et al.'s emphasis on the influence of geographical settings in online interactions gains further credence in light of our results. It seems that the hula hoops of Hawaii may be spinning a web of digital engagement that transcends the boundaries of sand and sea.

Our study, while wildly entertaining, also brings forth an important realization – the sheer unpredictability of the data ocean. Just when you think you've seen it all, the limbo stick drops a few notches lower and surprises emerge from the depths.

So, as we bid adieu to this whimsical journey, let's not forget that every statistic has a story to tell, and sometimes, those stories unfold in the most unexpected of places – much like finding a snorkeler in a field of pineapples.

Correlation r = 0.9359554 (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 = 0.8760125 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Customer satisfaction with ABCNews.com) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of childcare workers in Hawaii) over the 12 years from 2010 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.6E-6. 0.0000076161024423269550000000
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 0.94 in 0.00076% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 131,301 random variables You don't actually need 131 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. 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.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

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 11 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 11 because we have two variables measured over a period of 12 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.

[ 0.78, 0.98 ] 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. 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.




Try it yourself

You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.

Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.

Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"

Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.

Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.

Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.

Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"

If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:

"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."
