[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The current body of literature regarding the connection, if any, between biomass power generation in Norway and the consumption of hotdogs by the reigning champions of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition is exceedingly sparse. However, the few studies that do exist present fascinating insights into these seemingly unrelated phenomena.

Smith et al. (2015) conducted a comprehensive analysis of biomass power generation in Scandinavia, emphasizing the advancements in technology and sustainable energy practices. Although their work primarily focuses on the environmental and economic impact of biomass energy, it intriguingly omits any mention of its potential influence on competitive eating habits or the consumption of processed meat products.

Doe's seminal work (2018) examining the global hotdog consumption patterns offers a tantalizing glimpse into the cultural and gastronomic significance of this beloved delicacy. Little did Doe know that this humble sausage could be linked to the renewable energy sector in Norway, presenting a fitting analogy between the concept of "renewable" energy and the perennial appeal of hotdogs.

Jones (2020) delved into the intricacies of international power grids, with a specific focus on the Nordic countries. While the study provides a thorough analysis of energy distribution networks, it curiously overlooks any potential connection to the dietary habits of competitive eaters and the consumption of hotdogs in the United States.

Moving beyond the academic realm, several non-fiction works such as "The Power of Biomass: A Sustainable Energy Revolution" and "The Hot Dog Chronicles: From Coney Island to Competitive Eating" offer in-depth explorations of the individual topics at hand. While these sources serve as valuable repositories of knowledge, they fall short in addressing the potential interplay between biomass power generation and hotdog consumption, leaving readers craving for a deeper understanding of this peculiar correlation.

In the world of fiction, titles such as "The Sausage Conspiracy" and "The Energy Eaters: A Tale of Biomass and Bratwurst" may pique one's curiosity with their seemingly relevant themes, albeit purely as works of literary imagination.

On a lighter note, the prevalence of internet memes such as "Renewable Energy vs. Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest: A Statistical Showdown" and "Biomass Buffet vs. Binge-eating Bonanza: Unraveling the Link" humorously highlight the public's fascination with the intersection of these divergent domains.

While the existing literature lays the groundwork for our exploration, the paucity of research linking biomass power generation in Norway and hotdog consumption by competitive eaters underscores the novelty and significance of our investigation. With such notable gaps in the literature, our study aims to bridge the divide and unveil the quirky connection between these seemingly disparate yet delectably intriguing phenomena.

Correlation r = 0.8150047 (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 = 0.6642326 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 66.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Hotdogs consumed by Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition Champion) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Biomass power generated in Norway) over the 37 years from 1985 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.2E-10. 0.0000000008233129779425523000
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 0.82 in 8.2E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,214,604,928 random variables You don't actually need 1 billion 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 36 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 36 because we have two variables measured over a period of 37 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.

[ 0.67, 0.9 ] 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.
