[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our foray into the delightful world of statistical whimsy has revealed a correlation between the number of art directors in Louisiana and Google searches for 'how much wood can a woodchuck chuck' that is as surprising as finding a woodchuck proficient in carpentry! Our findings have provided a chuckle-worthy insight into the unexpected intersection of art direction and woodchuck chucking inquiries, demonstrating that even the most peculiar correlations can emerge when we venture into uncharted statistical territories.

As we contemplated the implications of our results, we couldn't help but ponder the possibility of woodchucks seeking artistic inspiration from Louisiana's vibrant arts and culture scene. Perhaps they're envisioning avant-garde wood-chucking performances or avant-chuck wood sculptures - the possibilities are as endless as the chucking capabilities of a motivated woodchuck.

We must also acknowledge the limitations of our study, as we have only scratched the surface of this infinitely amusing correlation. This prompts us to lament the absence of a Woodchuck Arts and Crafts Fair in Louisiana, where art directors and woodchucks could collaborate on groundbreaking wood-related projects, much to the amusement of onlookers.

In light of our findings, we assert that no further research is needed in this area. After all, when it comes to the correlation between art direction and woodchuck-related queries, it's clear that the statistical universe has indulged us with a delightful spectacle of absurdity that is as entertaining as it is unlikely.

Correlation r = 0.7759086 (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 = 0.6020342 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 60.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how much wood can a woodchuck chuck') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of art directors in Louisiana) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.4E-5. 0.0000944340281456546800000000
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 0.0094% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 10,589 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.

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.
