[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find that there is a significant correlation between consumer behavior and seemingly unrelated cultural influencers. Smith et al. argue that consumer trends are often influenced by a myriad of factors, some of which may appear completely unrelated at first glance. This notion sets the stage for our investigation into the intertwining spheres of Vihart's nerdy YouTube video titles and the demand for household cleaning products, specifically the ubiquitous bleach.

Moving into the esoteric world of non-fiction literature, books such as "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell have delved into the unconventional influences on consumer behavior. These works have laid the groundwork for considering the impact of unorthodox variables on market trends, echoing the spirit of our inquiry into the link between Vihart's nerdy content and the purchasing patterns of cleaning products.

On the fictional front, titles like "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams have blurred the lines between reality and imagination, much like the unexpected correlation we have uncovered. These literary works playfully toy with the idea of hidden connections and unexpected influences, mirroring the whimsical nature of our investigation.

Furthermore, movies such as "The Matrix" and "Inception" have captivated audiences with their mind-bending narratives, challenging perceptions of reality and causality. These cinematic masterpieces serve as a reminder that the world is often far stranger and more interconnected than we could ever imagine, much like the unlikely link between Vihart's nerdy video titles and the surge in "where to buy bleach" searches.

In "Doe and Jones," the authors present a comprehensive analysis of consumer behavior in the digital age, emphasizing the impact of online content on purchasing decisions. This work provides a theoretical foundation for our exploration of how Vihart's nerdy musings might inadvertently prompt viewers to contemplate their household cleaning needs, albeit in a lighthearted and unexpected manner.

Amidst these scholarly pursuits and whimsical references, we cannot help but interject a fitting dad joke to lighten the mood. "Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!" The humor in this joke resonates with the offbeat charm of our investigation, where unexpected correlations and lighthearted connections converge to illuminate the peculiar interplay between Vihart's content and the quest for bleach.

As we navigate through the scholarly and imaginative landscapes that inform our investigation, we invite readers to embrace the playfulness and eccentricity of our research endeavor, as we untangle the curious web of correlations between nerdy YouTube video titles and the search for household cleaners.

Bleach the Nerdy: Analyzing the Connection Between Vihart YouTube Video Titles and Searches for Household Cleaners

[[ABSTRACT]]
The correlation between seemingly unrelated phenomena has always been an area of fascination in research. In this study, we delve into the quirky world of Vihart YouTube video titles and their potential impact on the demand for household cleaner products, particularly the ubiquitous "bleach". Utilizing AI analysis of Vihart's nerdy video titles and Google Trends data for searches related to "where to buy bleach", we set out to answer the burning question of whether nerdy video titles have any sway over domestic cleaning purchases.

Our findings revealed a surprisingly strong correlation coefficient of 0.8325940, with p < 0.01, covering the period from 2009 to 2023. This connection suggests that there may indeed be a subtle influence of Vihart's nerdy content on the household cleaning product market. It seems that when Vihart delves into the world of mathematical curiosities, viewers might just feel an inexplicable urge to tidy up their living spaces.

As we uncover the nerdy nuances of this correlation, it brings to mind the classic dad joke: "Why don't we ever tell secrets on a farm? Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears!" Indeed, our research adds a quirky twist to the understanding of consumer behavior and the potential impact of unexpected variables on market trends.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Smith et al.," the authors find that there is a significant correlation between consumer behavior and seemingly unrelated cultural influencers. Smith et al. argue that consumer trends are often influenced by a myriad of factors, some of which may appear completely unrelated at first glance. This notion sets the stage for our investigation into the intertwining spheres of Vihart's nerdy YouTube video titles and the demand for household cleaning products, specifically the ubiquitous bleach.
Moving into the esoteric world of non-fiction literature, books such as "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell have delved into the unconventional influences on consumer behavior. These works have laid the groundwork for considering the impact of unorthodox variables on market trends, echoing the spirit of our inquiry into the link between Vihart's nerdy content and the purchasing patterns of cleaning products.
On the fictional front, titles like "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams have blurred the lines between reality and imagination, much like the unexpected correlation we have uncovered. These literary works playfully toy with the idea of hidden connections and unexpected influences, mirroring the whimsical nature of our investigation.
Furthermore, movies such as "The Matrix" and "Inception" have captivated audiences with their mind-bending narratives, challenging perceptions of reality and causality. These cinematic masterpieces serve as a reminder that the world is often far stranger and more interconnected than we could ever imagine, much like the unlikely link between Vihart's nerdy video titles and the surge in "where to buy bleach" searches.
In "Doe and Jones," the authors present a comprehensive analysis of consumer behavior in the digital age, emphasizing the impact of online content on purchasing decisions. This work provides a theoretical foundation for our exploration of how Vihart's nerdy musings might inadvertently prompt viewers to contemplate their household cleaning needs, albeit in a lighthearted and unexpected manner.
Amidst these scholarly pursuits and whimsical references, we cannot help but interject a fitting dad joke to lighten the mood. "Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!" The humor in this joke resonates with the offbeat charm of our investigation, where unexpected correlations and lighthearted connections converge to illuminate the peculiar interplay between Vihart's content and the quest for bleach.
As we navigate through the scholarly and imaginative landscapes that inform our investigation, we invite readers to embrace the playfulness and eccentricity of our research endeavor, as we untangle the curious web of correlations between nerdy YouTube video titles and the search for household cleaners.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data collected from 2009 to 2023 revealed a remarkably strong correlation between the nerdy allure of Vihart's YouTube video titles and the surge in Google searches for "where to buy bleach". The correlation coefficient of 0.8325940 indicates a robust positive relationship, signaling that as the nerdy quotient of Vihart's content increased, so did the inquiries for household cleaning products. This unexpected association suggests that the appeal of mathematical musings seamlessly spills over into the realms of domestic hygiene, leaving us wondering if there's a hidden "formula" for such consumer behavior.

Correlation r = 0.8325940 (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 = 0.6932128 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 69.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'where to buy bleach') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How nerdy Vihart's YouTube video titles are) over the 15 years from 2009 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00012. 0.0001170987559975005000000000
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 0.83 in 0.012% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 8,540 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 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.

[ 0.56, 0.94 ] 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.
