[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between the proliferation of breweries in the United States and the total length of Extra History YouTube videos has piqued the interest of researchers in recent years. In "Smith et al.'s" comprehensive study, they explore the exponential growth of craft breweries and its potential impact on historical knowledge consumption. The authors find that the craft beer industry is fermenting more than just beverages – it may be brewing an unexpected thirst for historical insights.

As we "barley" scratch the surface of this intriguing relationship, it becomes evident that there is more to this frothy connection than meets the eye. Could it be that the rise in brewery numbers has "hopped up" the demand for longer educational content? In "Doe and Jones's" empirical analysis, they uncover a statistical correlation between the two variables, leaving us with the impression that history lessons and hops might be a match made in scholarly heaven.

Turning a page to the existing literature, we stumble upon "The Brew-tiful Mind" by Malt Hemingway, which delves into the philosophical underpinnings of beer culture and its potential to spark intellectual curiosity. Is there a blend of malt and meaning lurking beneath the surface of the brewery boom, compelling us to raise a glass to the pursuit of knowledge? It seems that the foam of historical fascination might be rising to the top, creating a head of steam in the world of educational entertainment.

From the land of non-fiction to the realms of fiction, we encounter "A Brewed Awakening" by Hops Fielding, a riveting tale of a time-traveling brewmaster who uncovers the secrets of history through a sip of historical ales. While this may be a work of fiction, the parallels between the protagonist's thirst for knowledge and the real-world fascination with historical narratives are striking, reminding us that truth can be stranger than fiction – or even hoppier.

In our quest for understanding, we cannot overlook the insights gleaned from popular culture. "The History Hops" animated series, known for its zany portrayal of historical events through the lens of animated beer characters, brings a light-hearted yet thought-provoking perspective to the relationship between beer culture and historical engagement. As we sip on these whimsical narratives, we are reminded that learning history can be a "brew-tiful" experience, whether it's accompanied by a pint of ale or a bag of popcorn.

The intersections between breweries and educational YouTube channels may seem like an ale-ien concept at first glance, but as we continue to unravel the foam-ula of this unlikely pair, we find that there's more to this relationship than meets the "yeast." So, let us raise a toast to the bubbling connections and the unexpected avenues of scholarly inquiry that emerge when we blend the worlds of brews and views. Cheers to a brew-tiful journey of discovery!

With an abundance of data in hand, we rolled up our sleeves (and occasionally wiped off the froth) to perform extensive data cleaning and preprocessing. We filtered out any 'skunky' outliers and ensured that our dataset was as crisp and refreshing as a newly tapped keg. It was a process that required both an analytical mindset and a keen eye for detail – much like distinguishing the subtle flavors of a complex brew.

Having prepared our dataset, we then delved into the realm of statistical analysis and modeling. Our approach was as varied as a mixed six-pack, featuring a harmonious blend of regression analysis, time series forecasting, and even a dash of machine learning. We wanted our analysis to be as robust and invigorating as a bold IPA, leaving no 'bitter' doubts about the rigor of our findings.

But that's not all – in the spirit of thoroughness, we also conducted qualitative interviews with avid craft beer enthusiasts and die-hard history buffs. These discussions provided us with valuable perspectives and anecdotal evidence, adding a human touch to our otherwise data-driven exploration. As we embarked on this journey of discovery, we found that these conversations were as enriching as engaging in a lively debate at a beer festival.

Following the integration of quantitative and qualitative insights, we raised a metaphorical toast to the holistic understanding of the relationship between brewery growth and Extra History video lengths. Our methodology was a balanced blend of empirical analysis and firsthand perspectives – much like the harmonious marriage of malt and hops in a finely crafted ale. Cheers to a methodology that embraced both the frothy facts and the anecdotal anecdotes, creating a brew-tiful synergy of insights!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between the proliferation of breweries in the United States and the total length of Extra History YouTube videos has piqued the interest of researchers in recent years. In "Smith et al.'s" comprehensive study, they explore the exponential growth of craft breweries and its potential impact on historical knowledge consumption. The authors find that the craft beer industry is fermenting more than just beverages – it may be brewing an unexpected thirst for historical insights.
As we "barley" scratch the surface of this intriguing relationship, it becomes evident that there is more to this frothy connection than meets the eye. Could it be that the rise in brewery numbers has "hopped up" the demand for longer educational content? In "Doe and Jones's" empirical analysis, they uncover a statistical correlation between the two variables, leaving us with the impression that history lessons and hops might be a match made in scholarly heaven.
Turning a page to the existing literature, we stumble upon "The Brew-tiful Mind" by Malt Hemingway, which delves into the philosophical underpinnings of beer culture and its potential to spark intellectual curiosity. Is there a blend of malt and meaning lurking beneath the surface of the brewery boom, compelling us to raise a glass to the pursuit of knowledge? It seems that the foam of historical fascination might be rising to the top, creating a head of steam in the world of educational entertainment.
From the land of non-fiction to the realms of fiction, we encounter "A Brewed Awakening" by Hops Fielding, a riveting tale of a time-traveling brewmaster who uncovers the secrets of history through a sip of historical ales. While this may be a work of fiction, the parallels between the protagonist's thirst for knowledge and the real-world fascination with historical narratives are striking, reminding us that truth can be stranger than fiction – or even hoppier.
In our quest for understanding, we cannot overlook the insights gleaned from popular culture. "The History Hops" animated series, known for its zany portrayal of historical events through the lens of animated beer characters, brings a light-hearted yet thought-provoking perspective to the relationship between beer culture and historical engagement. As we sip on these whimsical narratives, we are reminded that learning history can be a "brew-tiful" experience, whether it's accompanied by a pint of ale or a bag of popcorn.
The intersections between breweries and educational YouTube channels may seem like an ale-ien concept at first glance, but as we continue to unravel the foam-ula of this unlikely pair, we find that there's more to this relationship than meets the "yeast." So, let us raise a toast to the bubbling connections and the unexpected avenues of scholarly inquiry that emerge when we blend the worlds of brews and views. Cheers to a brew-tiful journey of discovery!

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our analysis indicate a striking correlation between the number of breweries in the United States and the total length of Extra History YouTube videos over the period from 2012 to 2022. The correlation coefficient of 0.8506286 demonstrates a strong positive relationship between these two variables, suggesting that as the brewery count increases, so does the duration of history-infused content consumption.
This significant correlation is more than just a frothy coincidence; it represents a sudsy revelation that goes beyond beer goggles. It appears that the rise of craft breweries may be fueling an appetite for not just hoppy beverages, but also historical knowledge. It's as if a good brew has become the ultimate catalyst for a historical binge-watch session, proving that when it comes to enriching the mind, hops and history make a terrific pairing.
It seems that the brew-tiful saga of this unexpected relationship has been fermenting right under our noses. Just like a well-crafted beer, this correlation has depth, complexity, and leaves a lasting impression. So, the next time you find yourself knee-deep in the annals of history, remember that there may be a blend of hops and barley gently nudging you toward that next Extra History episode.

Correlation r = 0.8506286 (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 = 0.7235691 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 72.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total length of Extra History YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of Breweries in the United States) over the 11 years from 2012 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000904. 0.0009037573886913590000000000
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 0.85 in 0.0904% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,106 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.51, 0.96 ] 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 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
