[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In the realm of unconventional research pursuits, our investigation into the link between provocative Oversimplified YouTube video titles and the precipitation patterns in Anchorage stands as an anomaly amidst a sea of more traditional scientific inquiries. However, as we boldly wade through this unconventional territory, we must acknowledge the work of esteemed scholars in related fields who have paved the way for our whimsical exploration.

Smith et al. (2016) have delved into the realm of online content engagement, shedding light on the captivating allure of clickbait and its psychological impact on viewer behavior. This foundational work provides a framework for understanding the seductive qualities of sensationalized video titles and their ability to draw unsuspecting internet users into their web of intrigue – much like rain clouds drawing moisture from the atmosphere.

Moving from the realm of academic scholarship to the realm of popular non-fiction literature, Doe (2018) in "The Art of Attention-Grabbing: Unraveling the Mysteries of Clickbait" offers a comprehensive analysis of digital content strategies, including a captivating chapter on the psychology of curiosity and its intersection with attention-grabbing titles. The parallels between capturing the reader's interest and capturing atmospheric moisture are, indeed, intriguing.

Taking a more whimsical turn, Jones (2020) explores the unexpected connections between internet culture and environmental phenomena in "The Weather Wizard's Guide to Unconventional Meteorology." While it may initially seem like a work of fiction, Jones' research presents curious anecdotes and speculative theories that blur the boundaries between whimsy and weather. The parallels drawn between digital content virality and atmospheric conditions provide an unorthodox perspective that challenges conventional meteorological paradigms.

Venturing further into the realm of unexpected sources, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the enlightening insights derived from the timeless classic "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" by Judi and Ron Barrett. While ostensibly a children's book, its underlying message of whimsical weather occurrences and improbable phenomena strikes a chord with our investigation. After all, if it can rain meatballs in the fictional town of Chewandswallow, who's to say what Anchorage's precipitation patterns are truly capable of?

As the sprightly specter of curiosity beckons us down increasingly unorthodox paths, our intrepid researchers have also drawn inspiration from the pop culture phenomenon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Through the lens of this animated series, we find unexpected parallels between the vibrant, ever-changing weather of Equestria and the unpredictable nature of internet content trends. The whimsy and wonderment encapsulated in the colorful adventures of Twilight Sparkle and her friends serve as a reminder that even the most unexpected connections can hold kernels of truth.

With our feet firmly planted in the intersection of internet culture and meteorology, we now embark on a journey that is as enigmatic and alluring as the phenomena we seek to understand. As we navigate through this quirky landscape, let us not lose sight of the joy and humor that accompanies our pursuit of knowledge – for amidst the scholarly citations and academic rigor, a touch of whimsy may just lead us to the pot of gold at the end of this unconventional rainbow.

While our intent was initially shrouded in skepticism, much like a low-visibility fog rolling in from Cook Inlet, the robust correlation coefficient of 0.8725185 ties our results together more tightly than a sailor's knot.

Our data corroborates the pioneering work of Smith et al. (2016), who unpicked the intricate web of online content engagement. It seems that just as enticing video titles effortlessly lure unsuspecting viewers into the digital depths, they also exert a pull on Anchorage's precipitation, drawing rain clouds like moths to a flame. The parallels between captivating viewers and coaxing clouds are surprisingly stark.

Furthermore, the study by Doe (2018) on the art of attention-grabbing offers illuminating insights into the psychology of curiosity and its intersection with clickbait. As we delve into the mysterious dance between YouTube provocativeness and Anchorage's rain, it becomes evident that the captivating allure of sensationalized video titles mirrors the beguiling charm of dense cumulonimbus clouds drawing moisture from the atmosphere.

Even the work of Jones (2020) in "The Weather Wizard's Guide to Unconventional Meteorology" seems less fanciful now, as our results provide unexpected support for the intriguing parallels drawn between digital content virality and atmospheric conditions. It appears that the whimsical anecdotes and speculative theories of internet culture's impact on weather are not as far-fetched as they may seem at first glance.

We also ponder the timeless wisdom embedded in "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," which, despite its fantastical narrative, starkly reflects the enigmatic connection we've unearthed. If a fictional town can experience meatball showers, Anchorage's precipitation patterns may indeed be more malleable than we previously surmised.

Building on these scholarly foundations, we find ourselves unexpectedly in the realm of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." The vibrant, ever-changing weather of Equestria strikes an uncanny resemblance to the unpredictable nature of internet content trends. As we navigate this quirky landscape, it becomes apparent that even the most unforeseen connections can hold substantial kernels of truth.

While our findings might appear as unexpected as a monsoon in Malibu, they invite further exploration into the whimsical ways in which digital content interweaves with the natural world. Our study adds a splash of whimsy to the rigorous scientific discourse, prompting a reevaluation of the unpredictable influences shaping our environment.

Correlation r = 0.8725185 (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 = 0.7612886 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 76.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Rain in Anchorage) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How provocative OverSimplified YouTube video titles are) over the 7 years from 2016 through 2022.

p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0104. 0.0103931815369489810000000000
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 1.04% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 96 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 6 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 6 because we have two variables measured over a period of 7 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.

[ 0.35, 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.
  4. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
