AI explanation

As the number of breweries in the United States hops up, so does the demand for beer. To meet this demand, there is a surge in the production of barley, leading to an increase in barley cultivation. This, in turn, creates a 'barley' noticeable impact on the wind patterns, especially in Sweden. As the barley fields rustle and 'ale'viate the air pressure, it inadvertently brews up stronger winds that are tapped into for power generation. It's a sudsy cycle of beer production and renewable energy - talk about a 'brew'tiful connection! It just gose to show, when it comes to wind power, the stakes are lager than life!

Their research underscores the pivotal role of wind energy in Sweden's renewable energy portfolio, symbolizing a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The gentle whir of wind turbines has become a familiar tune in the Scandinavian landscape, harmonizing with the natural rhythm of the country.

Transitioning into the realm of non-fiction literature, "The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz provides a comprehensive look at the alchemical processes involved in creating fermented beverages. While not explicitly focused on the correlation between breweries in the United States and wind power generated in Sweden, Katz's work offers valuable insights into the transformative power of fermentation and the artistry behind crafting unique libations.

On a more tangential note, "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell captures the turbulent dynamics of relationships amidst a backdrop of societal change. While Scarlett O'Hara may not have been in the business of brewing, her resilience and resourcefulness could serve as inspirational characteristics for those navigating the craft beer industry's competitive landscape.

Moving into the realm of fictional works, J.R.R.

Although the connection to wind power in Sweden is tenuous at best, the spirit of collaboration and shared purpose resonates with the ethos of both industries.

In our pursuit of multidisciplinary insights, animated series such as "Bob's Burgers" and "The Simpsons" have provided moments of lighthearted contemplation on the intricacies of business ownership and community dynamics. While the focus may be on burgers and donuts, the underlying themes of entrepreneurship and community engagement could offer valuable parallels to the craft beer industry and its influence on local economies.

Children's shows like "The Magic School Bus" and "Bill Nye the Science Guy" have also offered a whimsical lens through which to view scientific phenomena. While the direct relevance to breweries and wind power may be a stretch, the spirit of inquiry and exploration animating these programs serves as a reminder of the joy of discovery in even the most unexpected places.

As we survey this eclectic literary landscape, it becomes clear that the intersection of brewing in the United States and wind power generation in Sweden presents a convivial tapestry of interconnectedness waiting to be unraveled.

Correlation r = 0.9742198 (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 = 0.9491041 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Wind power generated in Sweden) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of Breweries in the United States) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.9E-21. 0.0000000000000000000058968119
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 5.9E-19% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 169,583,160,690,609,782,784 random variables You don't actually need 169 quintillion 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 31 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 31 because we have two variables measured over a period of 32 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.

[ 0.95, 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 25,153 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. Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
