[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In their study, Smith and Doe (2010) attempt to unravel the complex relationship between television ratings and societal trends, only to be met with unexpected results. Their findings delve into the unexpected interplay between popular sitcoms and consumer behaviors, laying the groundwork for our investigation into the perplexing correlation between "Two and a Half Men" viewership and jet fuel consumption in Serbia.

Turning to the book "Energy Economics" by Jones (2015), we find insightful discussions on the intricate dynamics of global fuel usage. Jones delves into the multifaceted factors influencing energy consumption, offering a serious perspective that we, regrettably, cannot maintain throughout this literature review.

Now, let us humorously venture into uncharted territory with "Jet Fuel for Dummies," a fictitious yet intriguing piece that, alas, remains unwritten. This mock manual would have offered invaluable insights into the quirky world of jet fuel usage in unexpected contexts, such as those we explore in this whimsical paper.

Shifting gears yet again, we peek into the world of cartoons and children's shows for a lighthearted perspective. In "The Jetsons," the futuristic family zips around in flying cars, undoubtedly fueled by a sci-fi version of the same liquid energy we scrutinize. Additionally, the comical misadventures of "Inspector Gadget" may hold clues to the connection between laughter and fuel, albeit in a more mechanized form.

In a more scholarly approach, let's not overlook the impactful research of "Sesame Street" on early childhood development. While seemingly unrelated, the comedic aspect of educational programming may shed light on the potential influences of laughter on impressionable young minds, much like how "Two and a Half Men" may impact Serbian jet fuel consumption patterns -- or not, but it's fun to imagine.

As we navigate through this comically twisted labyrinth of peculiar correlations, we invite our esteemed readers to embrace the unexpected and relish the humorous as we embark on this unorthodox exploration of the world of "Two and a Half Men" and jet fuel in Serbia.

Correlation r = 0.9317022 (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 = 0.8680690 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 86.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Jet fuel used in Serbia) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Season rating of "Two and a Half Men") over the 10 years from 2006 through 2015.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.8E-5. 0.0000876109587475358400000000
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 0.0088% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 11,414 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.

[ 0.73, 0.98 ] 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.
