[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The understanding of linguistic coolness and its potential influence on labor market trends is a relatively unexplored area of study. However, recent research has indicated the potential for unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated factors. Smith et al. (2018) examine the impact of linguistic creativity in social media content on consumer behavior, finding that engaging and clever language can positively influence purchasing decisions. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2020) investigate the correlation between the quirkiness of podcast episode titles and listener retention, suggesting that unconventional linguistic choices may enhance audience engagement.

Moving beyond the realm of social media and digital content, real-world applications of linguistic innovation have also garnered attention in the literature. In "Fascinate: Your 7 Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation," the authors discuss the allure of language that captivates and engages, hinting at the potential influence of linguistic coolness beyond the digital sphere. Furthermore, the works of fiction authors such as Terry Pratchett, known for his humorous and inventive language in the "Discworld" series, offer anecdotal evidence of the impact of linguistic creativity on readers' experiences.

Broadening the scope of our investigation, it becomes apparent that sources of whimsy and linguistic quirkiness can be found in unexpected places. For instance, the animated TV series "Adventure Time" intricately weaves puns and wordplay into its dialogue, demonstrating the pervasive nature of linguistic humor. Additionally, classic children's literature, including the whimsical wordplay of Dr. Seuss in "Green Eggs and Ham," emphasizes the enduring appeal of linguistic creativity across age groups.

While these diverse sources may seem unrelated to the specific focus of our study, they hint at the broader implications of linguistic ingenuity and its potential to influence diverse domains, including labor market dynamics. As we delve into the correlation between Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and the count of phlebotomists in West Virginia, these varied precedents provide a lighthearted backdrop for our investigation into the unexpected interconnectedness between linguistic coolness and employment trends.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

The data collection process for this research endeavor was as varied and eclectic as the unlikely connection we sought to explore. Our approach can be likened to the intricate, albeit humorous, Rube Goldberg machines designed by Simone Giertz herself - convoluted, but ultimately leading to the desired outcome.

To begin, we employed artificial intelligence (AI) for the textual analysis of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles. The AI algorithms were trained to detect linguistic coolness, inherent cleverness, and a touch of whimsy, characteristics often associated with Simone Giertz's content. The AI combed through years of video titles, unraveling the intricate tapestry of linguistic nuance and humor, akin to a detective poring over a cryptic crossword puzzle.

On the other end of the spectrum, we turned to the Bureau of Labor Statistics to gather data regarding the employment count of phlebotomists in the state of West Virginia from 2014 to 2022. This data, though less whimsical in nature, served as the pragmatic, yet unassuming, foundation of our investigation.

The subsequent fusion of these seemingly disparate datasets involved a bout of intricate data wrangling, akin to untangling a particularly perplexing knot. The process demanded the finesse of a magician, as we delicately paired the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's video titles with the steadfast count of phlebotomists in West Virginia. The resulting dataset resembled a whimsical patchwork quilt, uniting the esoteric with the empirical.

To establish the statistical correlation and ascertain the strength of the relationship, we employed sophisticated analytical tools, including Pearson's correlation coefficient and the computation of p-values. These statistical levers and pulleys, like the inner workings of a clockwork contraption, enabled us to decipher the intricate dance between linguistic coolness and phlebotomist employment levels.

Ultimately, our methodology reflected the quirky and circuitous nature of our quest, encapsulating the whimsy of Simone Giertz's inventiveness and the unassuming dedication of the phlebotomists in the Mountain State.

This study examines the unexpected relationship between the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and the employment levels of phlebotomists in the state of West Virginia. By employing artificial intelligence for textual analysis of the YouTube video titles, combined with data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we found a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9513654 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period from 2014 to 2022. Our findings not only raise eyebrows but also offer a quirky perspective on how seemingly unrelated factors may unpredictably influence one another. This research sheds light on the whimsical interconnectedness of seemingly disparate phenomena and the need for further investigation into the unexplored whimsy of statistical correlations.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Simone Giertz, a self-proclaimed "queen of sh*tty robots," has made a name for herself on YouTube with her clever inventions and delightful absurdity. Her video titles, often slyly witty and brimming with geeky humor, have captivated audiences worldwide. Meanwhile, in the quiet corners of West Virginia, a dedicated group of healthcare professionals, the phlebotomists, wield their needles with precision and grace, quietly performing the vital task of drawing blood. Now, what could possibly link the linguistic ingenuity of Simone Giertz's YouTube titles with the count of phlebotomists in the Mountain State?
The intersection of obscure humor and healthcare employment may seem like the premise of an exceedingly niche sitcom, but as we shall unravel in this paper, the connection between the linguistic coolness of YouTube video titles and the number of phlebotomists in West Virginia is, in fact, more intriguing than one might initially assume. Our study seeks to shed light on this unexpected relationship and add a touch of levity to the often-stern world of statistical research. After all, who said statistical analysis has to be all business and no whimsy?

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and its correlation with the count of phlebotomists in West Virginia yielded intriguing results. We found a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9513654, indicating a strong positive linear relationship between the two variables. The coefficient of determination (r-squared) of 0.9050962 suggests that approximately 90.51% of the variability in the employment levels of phlebotomists in West Virginia can be explained by the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles. The statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 further strengthens the robustness of the correlation.
Figure 1 displays a scatterplot illustrating the strong positive correlation between the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and the count of phlebotomists in West Virginia over the period from 2014 to 2022. The data points form a clear upward trend, indicating that as the linguistic coolness of the video titles increases, so does the number of phlebotomists employed in West Virginia.
These findings not only demonstrate the surprising connection between seemingly unrelated factors but also illustrate the whimsicality of statistical correlations. While the exact mechanism underlying this correlation remains to be fully elucidated, our research paves the way for further exploration into the uncharted territory of interdisciplinary influences and the light-hearted rapport between humor and healthcare employment. These results bring a playful perspective to the realm of statistical analysis, reminding us that even in the rigor of research, there's always room for a splash of humor and the unexpected.

[[CONCLUSION]]
In conclusion, our study has uncovered a remarkably robust correlation between the linguistic coolness of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and the count of phlebotomists in West Virginia. By demonstrating a correlation coefficient of 0.9513654 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01, our findings not only raise eyebrows but also remind us that statistical analysis can be quite "punny" indeed. Despite the initial absurdity of the proposed connection, our results illustrate that even the most unlikely pairings can hold surprising significance. This study serves as a playful reminder that statistical analysis doesn't always have to be all serious business; it can definitely use a dose of whimsy every once in a while.
Moving forward, while our findings might feel like the punchline of an arcane statistical joke, we assert that no further research is required in this area. As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding! Or in this case, the correlation is in the coolness. We invite fellow researchers to indulge in the delight of unexpected correlations in their own work and to remember that even statistical analysis can have its moments of quirky charm.

Correlation r = 0.9513654 (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 = 0.9050962 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of phlebotomists in West Virginia) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How cool Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles are) over the 9 years from 2014 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.0E-5. 0.0000796395803490248700000000
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 0.95 in 0.008% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 12,557 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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.

[ 0.78, 0.99 ] 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.
  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.
