[[INTRODUCTION]]

The world of academia often sees the convergence of seemingly disparate subjects, leading to unexpected revelations and revelations that questions the very fabric of reality. In the case of this study, our exploration into the correlation between the number of fashion designers in Colorado and Google searches for 'how to hide a body' may initially appear as a sartorial and sinister juxtaposition, prompting an inquisitive eyebrow raise and perhaps a pun-intended quip about dressing up a crime. However, our investigation seeks to shed light on a correlation that is as captivating as it is confounding.

As the saying goes, "What’s a fashion designer’s favorite type of tree? A cypress." The allure of high fashion and the curiosity surrounding the clandestine act of concealing a cadaver have, in a manner truly fitting for the runway, struck an alarming chord that demands both attention and scrutiny. Our study aims to unravel this mystery and expose the threads that intertwine the worlds of couture and corpses.

The impetus for this inquiry stemmed from an observation as intriguing as it was unexpected: a growing trend in the fashion industry in Colorado appeared to coincide with an apparent surge in internet searches related to body concealment strategies. One might jestingly refer to this as a situation where the correlation is so strong, it's sew-n together with invisible thread. The statistical significance of this observed relationship propelled us to immerse ourselves in this unconventional intersection, seeking to discern whether this correlation was merely a serendipitous stitch or revealed a deeper, underlying fabric.

And as any good suspense thriller would have it, our findings did not fail to deliver the tantalizing twists and turns we had anticipated. The correlation coefficient, as predictable as a fashion designer sporting a measuring tape, yielded a strikingly high value of 0.7781590 and p < 0.01, establishing a robust statistical nexus between these seemingly unrelated phenomena. It appears that as the fashion scene flourished in Colorado, so did the macabre fascination with the art of covert corpus concealment – a correlation that one might whimsically deem as "fashioning a felony."

This unexpected coupling invites not only puzzlement but presses us to seek a deeper understanding of the contextual factors driving such an unlikely correlation. It's a matter so bewildering that it leaves us exclaiming, "What do you call a belt made of watches? A waist of time!" Yet, it’s crucial to delve into this enigma, not only for academic intrigue but also for the implications it carries, both within the realm of fashion culture and the darker inclinations of online interests. Our research, therefore, marks the commencement of an unusual but compelling journey at the crossroads of style and sinister searches.

"What did the dress say to the skirt? Zip it." As we embark on this investigative endeavor, we aim to illuminate the unfathomable connection between Colorado’s fashion fervor and the disconcerting diversions into the art of making a body vanish from the virtual gaze. In so doing, we hope not only to unravel the enigma at hand but also to spark a newfound curiosity that celebrates the uncanny confluence of haute couture and the cryptic queries of the criminal kind.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The anomalous correlation between the number of fashion designers in Colorado and Google searches for 'how to hide a body' has intrigued scholars and sparked a flurry of interest in recent years. Smith, Doe, and Jones (2020) initially shed light on this perplexing correlation, and their findings set the stage for further investigation into this unexpected association. As we delve deeper into this enigmatic relationship, we are reminded of the sartorial words of wisdom: "I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug."

A seminal work by Doe and Smith (2015) explored the psychological underpinnings of fashion innovation and its potential influence on the psychosocial dynamics of clandestine activities. Their study hinted at a nuanced interplay between creativity in the world of couture and the devious contemplations of concealing a corpus, leading us to ponder whether one can truly be fashion-forward while entertaining thoughts of foul play.

In "The Art of Disguise: A Fashionista's Guide to Incognito" by Fashion Forward Press (2019), the authors intricately dissect the techniques of concealment in the world of fashion, drawing curious parallels to the clandestine cravings reflected in online searches for nefarious knowledge. As we navigate this intersection of style and subterfuge, one cannot help but chuckle at the ironic juxtaposition – a fashionista’s guide to staying incognito indeed!

Turning to literature of a more imaginative nature, the works of renowned fiction writers have also hinted at the peculiar overlaps between fashion and felonious facets. "The Dressmaker’s Dilemma" by Noir Fashions (2017) captivates readers with its tale of a tailor entangled in a web of deceit, showcasing the intricacies of garment construction while seamlessly weaving in elements of mystery and suspense. Our own research evokes a similar sense of intrigue, as we attempt to unravel the hidden threads that bind Colorado's fashion landscape to the shadowy world of body concealment.

Television shows such as "Fashion Files" and "CSI: Runway" have not only entertained audiences worldwide but also inadvertently exposed viewers to the uncanny parallels between the glamour of haute couture and the grit of criminal investigations. Much like a well-placed zipper, these shows have revealed the interconnectedness of two seemingly unrelated realms, leaving us with an unshakeable appreciation for the unexpected fusion of runway drama and crime scene capers.

Amidst the scholarly inquiries and fictitious narratives lay the subtle threads of humor and irony, reminding us that even in the most curious of correlations, there is room for a good dad joke. After all, "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts." As we progress in our journey through this peculiar labyrinth of fashion and forensic fascination, we must not lose sight of the whimsical side of this cryptic confluence, for in the unconventional, there lies the potential for both amusement and enlightenment.

To stitch together the fabric of this investigation, we meticulously gathered data from an array of sources. Our exploration delved into the Bureau of Labor Statistics to obtain comprehensive information on the number of fashion designers in Colorado. This entailed combing through occupation-specific data, locating the needle in the haystack, and extracting the relevant figures with precision and care. The team also performed extensive data wrangling, ensuring the integrity of the dataset by ironing out any wrinkles or discrepancies that might have crept in, resulting in a dataset so spotless it would make a dry cleaner envious.

As for the intriguing digital breadcrumb trail of 'how to hide a body' searches, our method was no less convoluted. We harnessed the power of Google Trends, navigating its complexities to discern the fluctuations in online interest surrounding this morbid query. Wrapping our analytical expertise around this investigative thread, we meticulously compared the search volume index over time, a process akin to unraveling a riddle or untangling that inexplicably knotted pair of headphones.

We are aware that on first glance, it might seem a rather eye-catching choice of subject — one might even dust off a lighthearted jest about a "grave matter" to ease the tension. However, we approached this study with the solemnity such a curious correlation demands — all while maintaining an ironic, wry wit. After all, one can hardly embark on an endeavor of this nature without a sense of the macabre and the absurd about the whole undertaking.

Moreover, our team felt it paramount to consider the broader socio-economic landscape that may influence these seemingly disjointed spheres of fashion and forensic curiosity. A careful exploration of the evolving trends in the fashion industry, including shifts in consumer preferences and industry innovation, was painstakingly undertaken. This was complemented by an analysis of societal shifts and cultural influences which could elucidate the strange juxtaposition between the sartorial and the sinister, enlightening us to the likely underlying societal forces at play. It's safe to say, this was a bit like conducting a forensic examination of social dynamics, with a twist of haute couture thrown in for good measure.

This study utilized data from the period 2004 to 2022, ensuring a comprehensive overview of the temporal evolution of both the fashion industry and the ebb and flow of public interest in unsavory concealment tactics. Our approach was as rigorous as a fashion designer's attention to detail at a hemline — carefully examining shifts in trends, teasing out patterns, and pairing the data in a manner that befits the marriage of meticulousness and macabre.

In conclusion, employing this blend of methodological rigor and whimsical insight, we navigated the labyrinthine pathway of data in our pursuit to unravel the intriguing relationship between the fashion scene in Colorado and the unexpected surge in interest in the art of concealing a cadaver. With our data firmly buttoned up, our analytical lens polished, and our somewhat grim and grinning determination, we embark on this academic escapade into the captivating — and profoundly perplexing — crossroads of couture and corpses.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The anomalous correlation between the number of fashion designers in Colorado and Google searches for 'how to hide a body' has intrigued scholars and sparked a flurry of interest in recent years. Smith, Doe, and Jones (2020) initially shed light on this perplexing correlation, and their findings set the stage for further investigation into this unexpected association. As we delve deeper into this enigmatic relationship, we are reminded of the sartorial words of wisdom: "I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug."
A seminal work by Doe and Smith (2015) explored the psychological underpinnings of fashion innovation and its potential influence on the psychosocial dynamics of clandestine activities. Their study hinted at a nuanced interplay between creativity in the world of couture and the devious contemplations of concealing a corpus, leading us to ponder whether one can truly be fashion-forward while entertaining thoughts of foul play.
In "The Art of Disguise: A Fashionista's Guide to Incognito" by Fashion Forward Press (2019), the authors intricately dissect the techniques of concealment in the world of fashion, drawing curious parallels to the clandestine cravings reflected in online searches for nefarious knowledge. As we navigate this intersection of style and subterfuge, one cannot help but chuckle at the ironic juxtaposition – a fashionista’s guide to staying incognito indeed!
Turning to literature of a more imaginative nature, the works of renowned fiction writers have also hinted at the peculiar overlaps between fashion and felonious facets. "The Dressmaker’s Dilemma" by Noir Fashions (2017) captivates readers with its tale of a tailor entangled in a web of deceit, showcasing the intricacies of garment construction while seamlessly weaving in elements of mystery and suspense. Our own research evokes a similar sense of intrigue, as we attempt to unravel the hidden threads that bind Colorado's fashion landscape to the shadowy world of body concealment.
Television shows such as "Fashion Files" and "CSI: Runway" have not only entertained audiences worldwide but also inadvertently exposed viewers to the uncanny parallels between the glamour of haute couture and the grit of criminal investigations. Much like a well-placed zipper, these shows have revealed the interconnectedness of two seemingly unrelated realms, leaving us with an unshakeable appreciation for the unexpected fusion of runway drama and crime scene capers.
Amidst the scholarly inquiries and fictitious narratives lay the subtle threads of humor and irony, reminding us that even in the most curious of correlations, there is room for a good dad joke. After all, "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts." As we progress in our journey through this peculiar labyrinth of fashion and forensic fascination, we must not lose sight of the whimsical side of this cryptic confluence, for in the unconventional, there lies the potential for both amusement and enlightenment.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The world of academia often sees the convergence of seemingly disparate subjects, leading to unexpected revelations and revelations that questions the very fabric of reality. In the case of this study, our exploration into the correlation between the number of fashion designers in Colorado and Google searches for 'how to hide a body' may initially appear as a sartorial and sinister juxtaposition, prompting an inquisitive eyebrow raise and perhaps a pun-intended quip about dressing up a crime. However, our investigation seeks to shed light on a correlation that is as captivating as it is confounding.
As the saying goes, "What’s a fashion designer’s favorite type of tree? A cypress." The allure of high fashion and the curiosity surrounding the clandestine act of concealing a cadaver have, in a manner truly fitting for the runway, struck an alarming chord that demands both attention and scrutiny. Our study aims to unravel this mystery and expose the threads that intertwine the worlds of couture and corpses.
The impetus for this inquiry stemmed from an observation as intriguing as it was unexpected: a growing trend in the fashion industry in Colorado appeared to coincide with an apparent surge in internet searches related to body concealment strategies.

Correlation r = 0.7781590 (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 = 0.6055314 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 60.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to hide a body') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of fashion designers in Colorado) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.7E-5. 0.0000873934171810659200000000
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 0.78 in 0.0087% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 11,443 random variables Which I absolutely did.
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.

[ 0.5, 0.91 ] 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.

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.

Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."


# These modules make it easier to perform the calculation
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats

# We'll define a function that we can call to return the correlation calculations
def calculate_correlation(array1, array2):

    # Calculate Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value
    correlation, p_value = stats.pearsonr(array1, array2)

    # Calculate R-squared as the square of the correlation coefficient
    r_squared = correlation**2

    return correlation, r_squared, p_value

# These are the arrays for the variables shown on this page, but you can modify them to be any two sets of numbers
array_1 = np.array([50,40,40,60,70,110,100,80,60,160,190,220,120,110,120,180,270,150,180,])
array_2 = np.array([9.5,6.33333,6.58333,8.25,15.75,15.5833,16.25,30.1667,51.4167,54.0833,83,70.5833,43.6667,38.75,36.4167,41.3333,56.5833,75.25,72.25,])
array_1_name = "The number of fashion designers in Colorado"
array_2_name = "Google searches for 'how to hide a body'"

# Perform the calculation
print(f"Calculating the correlation between {array_1_name} and {array_2_name}...")
correlation, r_squared, p_value = calculate_correlation(array_1, array_2)

# Print the results
print("Correlation Coefficient:", correlation)
print("R-squared:", r_squared)
print("P-value:", p_value)



Reuseable content

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
