AI explanation

As the college computer science teacher population in New Mexico grew, so did the demand for office supplies like pens and paper. This led to a worldwide shortage of ink, prompting engineers in Kyrgyzstan to develop more fuel-efficient jet engines, thereby increasing the consumption of jet fuel. It's a classic case of the butterfly defect: when a computer science teacher in the desert flaps his programming textbook, a jet in the mountains of Central Asia gets its fuel efficiency upgraded!

[[INTRODUCTION]]

As the digital age advances and technology becomes increasingly integral to our daily lives, the realm of computer science education takes on heightened importance. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the complexities of global energy consumption continue to capture the attention of researchers and policymakers alike. In a curious twist of fate, our study delves into the uncharted territory of the interplay between these seemingly unrelated domains – the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan.

It's an unusual pairing, akin to matching socks in the dark – seemingly random yet with potential for unexpected coherence. In the pursuit of understanding this mysterious link, we turn to the realm of data analysis and statistical inquiry. Is there a logical explanation for the linkage between the proliferation of computer science educators in one region and the demand for jet fuel in an entirely different part of the globe? Or is this correlation just a "bit" of statistical noise (not to be confused with signal noise)?

At first glance, the conjecture of a relationship between these variables may prompt raised eyebrows and quizzical looks - akin to watching an owl trying to solve an algebraic equation (it's a real hoot). Nonetheless, on a more serious note, the examination of such a curious connection serves a broader purpose – shedding light on the intricate and often unsuspected interdependencies that govern our world.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

Data Collection: Our research team embarked on the ambitious task of gathering data to explore the peculiar relationship between the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan. As purveyors of information, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Energy Information Administration served as our primary founts of data. The employment statistics for computer science education in New Mexico and the comprehensive reports on energy consumption in Kyrgyzstan were meticulously scoured from the depths of the internet.

We then meticulously combed through the data, sifting through years of information like archeologists in search of a hidden tomb – although in our case, the tomb contained statistical treasure rather than ancient artifacts. It was a process that required both precision and patience, akin to solving a complex puzzle without the aid of a picture on the box. One might say it was a "byte" overwhelming at times, but our team pressed on in pursuit of understanding this curious correlation.

Statistical Analysis: With our data in hand, we employed a range of statistical analyses to unravel the enigma of the codeducator-fuel relationship. Utilizing software such as R and SPSS, we performed correlation analyses to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables, aiming to unearth any hidden patterns in the data. The process was akin to uncovering a cryptic message in a sea of statistical noise – except in this case, the message related to the tantalizing link between computer science education and jet fuel usage.

We also conducted a time-series analysis to track changes in the variables over the 2003-2021 timeframe. This involved plotting graphs, scrutinizing trends, and drawing parallels between the two disparate spheres of interest. The duality of our investigation was not lost on us – it was like attempting to juggle apples and oranges, albeit in the form of data sets and statistical models.

Control Variables: To ensure the validity of our findings, we diligently controlled for potential confounding variables that could muddle the relationship between computer science educators and jet fuel consumption. Factors such as economic fluctuations, geopolitical events, and advancements in technology were scrutinized to disentangle their influence from the primary association under investigation. It was a bit like separating strands of spaghetti in a bowl of pasta – a delicate and precise process essential for untangling the web of interwoven variables.

Regression Analysis: Employing multiple regression models, we delved deeper into the nuances of the relationship, exploring potential moderating and mediating effects that could elucidate the underlying mechanisms at play. This involved meticulously crafting and testing various models, each akin to constructing a complex puzzle with the pieces representing different factors influencing the relationship. The endeavor was both challenging and rewarding, much like solving a particularly perplexing riddle – except our ultimate aim wasn't to trip up an unsuspecting wanderer, but to shed light on the unexpected link between codeducators and jet fuel usage.

ChatGPT:

The results of the present study provide substantial support for the previously hypothesized link between the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan. The strong positive correlation coefficient of 0.8712899 and the low p-value affirm the robustness of this association. It is as if the flourishing community of computer science educators in New Mexico has, in a sense, fueled the demand for jet fuel in Kyrgyzstan, indirectly shaping global energy dynamics.

Building upon the work of Smith and Doe (2010) and Jones et al. (2015), this study delves deeper into the unexpected intersections of educational workforce trends and international energy consumption patterns. The findings echo the sentiment expressed in "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, a speculative vision of a world infused with virtual reality and computer programming, where societal structures are shaped by technological influences. Much like an encrypted message waiting to be deciphered, the association between computer science education and jet fuel consumption reveals an intricate relationship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

In light of the r-squared value of 0.7591461, it becomes evident that approximately 76% of the variability in jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan can be elucidated by the number of computer science teachers in New Mexico. This underscores the substantial impact of educational dynamics on global energy usage, driving home the point that the effects of educational trends can "propel" unforeseen outcomes on an international scale.

As "The Innovators" by Walter Isaacson recounts the evolution of computing and its socio-cultural impact, one cannot help but perceive the evolutionary influence of computer science education on global energy demand. This unexpected synergy underscores the intricate web of interconnected phenomena that shapes our world. It seems that, much like the unveiling of a cleverly concealed pun, uncovering the correlation between these two seemingly unrelated variables has broadened our understanding of the complex interplay of knowledge domains.

The unexpected correlations between educational and energy dynamics encapsulated in this study echo the playful interplay of internet memes such as "Weird Flex but OK" and "This Is Fine". Seemingly disparate elements unexpectedly converge to form a cohesive narrative, much in the same way that college computer science teachers in New Mexico and jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan have intertwined in an intriguing association.

As we navigate these unanticipated linkages, it is clear that the implications of this study are far-reaching, inviting further exploration into the intricate dynamics of seemingly disparate societal and economic factors. This research paves the way for future investigations into the interwoven fabric of global phenomena, encouraging scholars to engage in their own "code networking" as they unravel the enigmatic ties that bind our interconnected world.

[[TITLE]]
"Code Networking: Exploring the Link Between Codeducators and Fuel Consumption in Kyrgyzstan"

[[ABSTRACT]]
This study examines the intriguing connection between the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and jet fuel used in Kyrgyzstan. Utilizing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Energy Information Administration, our research team conducted a comprehensive analysis from 2003 to 2021, revealing a correlation coefficient of 0.8712899 and a p-value of less than 0.01.

Despite the geographical and occupational disparity between the two variables, our findings suggest a significant association. It appears that the more computer science teachers in New Mexico, the higher the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan. It's a head-scratcher, to be sure, but the data speaks for itself. Perhaps there's a "byte" of truth in this unexpected correlation – after all, one could say that the impact of code truly "takes off" across continents!

(Speaking of taking off, did you hear about the computer scientist who booked a flight to Kyrgyzstan? He hoped to understand the jet fuel connection, but it turned out to be a "plane" mystery.)

[[INTRDUCTION]]
As the digital age advances and technology becomes increasingly integral to our daily lives, the realm of computer science education takes on heightened importance. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the complexities of global energy consumption continue to capture the attention of researchers and policymakers alike. In a curious twist of fate, our study delves into the uncharted territory of the interplay between these seemingly unrelated domains – the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan.
It's an unusual pairing, akin to matching socks in the dark – seemingly random yet with potential for unexpected coherence. In the pursuit of understanding this mysterious link, we turn to the realm of data analysis and statistical inquiry. Is there a logical explanation for the linkage between the proliferation of computer science educators in one region and the demand for jet fuel in an entirely different part of the globe? Or is this correlation just a "bit" of statistical noise (not to be confused with signal noise)?
At first glance, the conjecture of a relationship between these variables may prompt raised eyebrows and quizzical looks - akin to watching an owl trying to solve an algebraic equation (it's a real hoot). Nonetheless, on a more serious note, the examination of such a curious connection serves a broader purpose – shedding light on the intricate and often unsuspected interdependencies that govern our world.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a strong positive correlation between the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan, with a correlation coefficient of 0.8712899. This suggests a robust relationship between these two seemingly disparate variables. It appears that as the number of computer science teachers in New Mexico increased, so did the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan. One might say that the influence of coding education is truly "taking off" in unexpected ways.
Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (r-squared) of 0.7591461 indicates that approximately 76% of the variability in jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan can be explained by the number of computer science teachers in New Mexico. This finding underscores the substantial impact of computer science education on global energy usage. It seems that the reach of coding pedagogy extends far beyond the confines of the classroom and into the realm of international fuel demand.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our study has illuminated a compelling connection between the number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico and the jet fuel consumption in Kyrgyzstan. The statistically significant correlation coefficient and the substantial coefficient of determination indicate a robust relationship between these two seemingly disparate variables. It seems that the impact of coding education reaches new heights – quite literally, in the case of Kyrgyzstan's jet fuel consumption.

(Speaking of new heights, did you hear about the computer programmer who took up skydiving? He wanted to see if he could "debug" his parachute code mid-air.)

While the findings of this study may initially elicit skepticism or incredulity, they serve as a poignant reminder of the intricate and often unexpected interconnections within our globalized world. It prompts us to ponder the ways in which seemingly unrelated factors can exert influence on one another, much like a well-crafted algorithm transcending boundaries and interfaces.

At this juncture, it is evident that further research in this area may yield diminishing returns, akin to searching for a misplaced semicolon in a densely coded program. It is our firm assertion that the data has spoken – and its message is as clear as an uncommented line of code. No more research is needed in this area; it's time to let this quirky correlation take its place in the annals of statistical oddities and unexpected discoveries.

Correlation r = 0.8712899 (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 = 0.7591461 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 75.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Jet fuel used in Kyrgyzstan) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of college computer science teachers in New Mexico) over the 19 years from 2003 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.2E-6. 0.0000011969483370831760000000
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 0.87 in 0.00012% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 835,458 random variables You don't actually need 835 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 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.

[ 0.69, 0.95 ] 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.
