[[INTRODUCTION]]

As the world grapples with the pressing need for sustainable energy sources, researchers have tirelessly sought to uncover the factors influencing renewable energy generation. While previous studies have examined demographic, economic, and environmental variables, the connection between the age of Academy Award Best Supporting Actress winners and solar power generation in Taiwan has yet to be explored. This peculiar association piqued our interest, motivating us to shed light on this unexpected nexus between the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the renewable energy landscape.

The relationship between the age of Best Supporting Actress winners and solar power generated in Taiwan may seem as unlikely as finding a photon at a poetry slam, but our analysis revealed a surprisingly strong correlation. It appears that the stars align not only on the red carpet but also in the realm of renewable energy production. This unexpected pairing presents a refreshing departure from traditional energy research, shedding a bit of light-heartedness on an otherwise weighty topic. After all, who knew that the luminance of a Taiwanese solar panel could be influenced by the luminaries of the silver screen?

Our research aims to delve into this uncharted territory and explore the potential implications of this correlation. By doing so, we aim to spark a new dialogue at the intersection of entertainment and energy, injecting a dose of whimsy into the often serious world of academic inquiry. It seems that the age of Academy Award winners may hold more power than just the ability to captivate audiences – it may also influence the energy landscape in ways yet to be fully understood. This unexpected revelation brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "lights, camera, action!" - in this case, the action may refer not only to the dramas on screen but also the turning of the photovoltaic cells in Taiwan's solar panels!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find that age is a fundamental factor in determining the success of renewable energy initiatives. Similarly, "Doe and Jones" suggest that unexpected variables may play a crucial role in renewable energy generation.

Turning to non-fiction literature, "Solar Power for Dummies" provides a comprehensive overview of solar energy production and its societal impact. In a similar vein, "The Age Factor: How Demographics Shape Our World" offers insight into the influence of age on various aspects of life, although unfortunately, it does not explore the specific intersection of age and solar power in Taiwan.

On a more fictional note, "Sunset Boulevard" by Billy Wilder may lead one to ponder the relationship between Hollywood glamour and the radiance of the sun, metaphorically and quite possibly, literally. Furthermore, "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem delves into the complexities of a solar-powered planet, albeit in a more speculative context.

In a rather unorthodox approach to literature review, an extensive investigation was conducted by perusing the backs of shampoo bottles, in the hope of serendipitously stumbling upon relevant knowledge. Alas, while the experience provided some level of shiny enlightenment, it failed to yield substantial insights into the matter at hand.

Correlation r = 0.7477684 (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 = 0.5591576 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 55.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Solar power generated in Taiwan) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Academy Award Best Supporting Actress Winner Age) over the 22 years from 2000 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.3E-5. 0.0000631831642226642800000000
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 0.75 in 0.0063% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 15,827 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 21 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 21 because we have two variables measured over a period of 22 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.

[ 0.48, 0.89 ] 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.
