[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

At first glance, one might assume that the distance between the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter and the meteoric rise of digital music singles are as unrelated as a cow in a spaceship. However, as we delve into the galaxy of scholarly works, it becomes evident that there may be more to this cosmic conundrum than meets the eye.

In "Astro-Musicology: A Celestial Symphony of Statistical Correlations," Smith et al. postulate a parallel between the orbital resonance of Saturn and Jupiter and the resonating beats of digital music downloads. While their findings may sound as improbable as finding a disco ball on the moon, the authors reveal a statistical correlation that entices us to ponder the harmonic convergence of celestial mechanics and digital melody.

Doe and Jones, in their groundbreaking work "The Harmonic Universe: Cosmic Vibrations and Digital Soundscapes," delve deeper into the ethereal connection between the celestial bodies in our solar system and the ethereal tunes of our digital world. Their research hints at a cosmic conspiracy that beckons us to consider the astronomical ballet of Saturn and Jupiter as more than just an astronomical affair but as a celestial conductor orchestrating the digital opera of music downloads.

Moving beyond the scientific realm, we venture into the world of non-fiction literature that dares to explore the cosmic and musical overlap. In "Music and the Mysteries of the Universe" by Elizabeth Star, the author speculates on the cosmic rhythms that influence the creative process of music production, drawing a whimsical parallel between celestial movements and musical compositions. While the idea may seem as fantastical as finding Mozart's sheet music on Pluto, the author's musings offer a thought-provoking perspective on the mystical union of the cosmos and music.

On a more fictional note, the works of Arthur C. Clarke, particularly "2001: A Space Odyssey," tantalize the imagination with the possibility of extraterrestrial harmonies influencing human creations. A speculative leap, it may be, but Clarke's visionary storytelling invites us to entertain the notion of otherworldly forces shaping our musical landscape.

As we transcend the realms of traditional literature, we find ourselves delving into the whimsical world of children's shows and cartoons for a fresh perspective. In the animated series "The Magic School Bus," Ms. Frizzle and her curious class embark on a cosmic journey through the solar system, offering a zany yet enlightening take on the interplay between astronomical phenomena and earthly experiences. While the show may be aimed at a younger audience, its playful approach to scientific exploration sparks a sense of wonder that is as boundless as the universe itself.

In light of these scholarly, non-fiction, and fictional musings, our journey through the literature is akin to navigating a cosmic funhouse – full of unexpected twists and turns that challenge our preconceptions while prompting us to ponder the whimsical dance of the cosmos and the melodies of digital music singles from a new, lighthearted perspective.

To unravel the cosmic connection between the distance separating Saturn and Jupiter and the digital music phenomenon, our research team embarked on a journey that would make even Neil Armstrong envious. We harnessed the power of Astropy, the intergalactic GPS of celestial measurements, to track the dynamic positions of these celestial heavyweights from 2004 to 2022. Coupled with data from Statista, the oracle of digital commerce, we waded through a cosmic sea of numbers, traversing the boundless expanse of internet data with the grace of a space-dancing astronaut.

Our data collection process resembled a cosmic scavenger hunt, scouring through the vast expanse of the world wide web for nuggets of statistical stardust. We channeled our inner Sherlock Holmes to piece together the puzzle of music downloads and planetary positions, sifting through virtual haystacks to find the celestial needle in the digital haystack.

With the precision of a cosmic laser beam, we meticulously extracted the monthly data on total digital music single downloads, as well as the ever-fluctuating distance between Saturn and Jupiter. This deluge of information, reminiscent of a celestial data flood, was then carefully curated and assembled into a harmonious symphony of numerical delight, fit for the most discerning statistical aficionado.

To assess the relationship between these seemingly disparate variables, we employed the venerable Pearson correlation coefficient to quantitatively measure the strength and direction of the association. Like daring cosmic DJs, we spun our statistical turntables, generating rhythmic p-values to evaluate the significance of the celestial dance on the digital music charts.

Through the application of robust statistical analyses, we sought to unveil the melodies hidden within the cosmic chaos, testing hypotheses with a gusto that would make Isaac Newton blush. Our journey through the cosmos of data was riddled with twists and turns, reminiscent of a galactic rollercoaster ride, but the scientific rigor of our methods remained steadfast amidst the cosmic capers.

Armed with a cosmic compass and a statistical sextant, we navigated through the bewildering expanse of multidimensional space – both celestial and digital – to unearth the surprising interplay between the celestial waltz of planets and the harmonious symphony of digital music downloads.

The distance between Saturn and Jupiter

Correlation r = 0.9321608 (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 = 0.8689238 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 86.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total Digital Music Single Downloads) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The distance between Saturn and Jupiter) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.4E-9. 0.0000000064033038202473770000
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 0.93 in 6.4E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 156,169,382 random variables You don't actually need 156 million 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 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 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.

[ 0.83, 0.97 ] 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.
