[[INTRODUCTION]]

The world of scientific inquiry is a fascinating terrain, often yielding unexpected discoveries and peculiar correlations. Our research delves into the uncharted territory of the relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. While this may seem as improbable as a lactose-intolerant mouse running a cheese shop, our initial investigations have unearthed a surprisingly robust association between these disparate entities.

At first glance, one might be forgiven for thinking that the only solar power associated with American cheese consumption comes from the heat generated when a particularly contentious debate erupts over the superiority of cheddar versus mozzarella on a pizza. Similarly, the idea of photovoltaic panels amidst the colorful streets of Havana might bring to mind more whimsical images of a technicolor cheese wheel in filtering glasses.

Yet, armed with the power of statistical analysis and a firm commitment to serious inquiry, we set out to understand the connection between these unlikely bedfellows. Our journey led us through vast spreadsheets of cheese consumption data, under the glare of the Cuban sun, and between the slices of uncertainty that often accompany unconventional research pursuits.

To be clear, our intention is not to trivialize the gravity of the national demands for dairy or energy, but rather to demonstrate the potential for serendipitous findings in the world of empirical investigation. The close examination of cheese consumption and solar power generation may seem, at first blush, to be as mismatched as socks in a dryer, yet the statistically significant results we have obtained suggest otherwise.

As we proceed to unfold the findings of our study, it is our hope that the conjunction of curds and kilowatts will not only stimulate academic curiosity but also provoke a wry smile and perhaps a latent craving for a solar-powered grilled cheese sandwich. After all, nothing enhances the pursuit of knowledge quite like a sprinkle of humor and a dollop of the unexpected.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The nexus of American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba has been an area of burgeoning inquiry, prompting a fascinating exploration of the interplay between gastronomy and sustainable energy. Smith (2015) delved into the consumption trends of American cheese and its impact on global dairy markets, while Doe (2017) examined the rising trajectory of solar power utilization in the Caribbean. Jones (2019) further bolstered this discourse by analyzing energy partnerships between the United States and Cuba, laying the groundwork for a more comprehensive understanding of energy dynamics in the region.

In "The Big Cheese: A Culinary History of American Cheese" by Twain (2020), the author explores the cultural and culinary significance of American cheese, shedding light on its enduring popularity and multifaceted utilization in various gastronomic creations. This culinary opus casts a "sharp" focus on the social dynamics surrounding cheese consumption, offering valuable insights into its potential influence on international trade and consumption patterns.

Turning to a more "illuminating" angle, "Solar Power for Dummies" by Einstein (2018) provides a comprehensive overview of solar energy technologies and applications, serving as a seminal guide for novices and experts alike. While not directly related to cheese consumption, this seminal work offers indispensable knowledge for understanding the complexities of solar power generation, and its implications in diverse geographic contexts, including Cuba.

On the fictional front, "The Solar Cheese Chronicles" by Gouda (2012) offers a whimsical narrative that weaves together the perplexing tale of a sentient solar-powered cheese wheel traversing the streets of Havana. While a work of fiction, this unconventional piece piques the imagination and underscores the potential for unconventional connections between solar energy and dairy products.

In a parallel dimension, the board game "Cheeseopoly" inadvertently simulates the economic impact of cheese distribution, compelling players to navigate the volatile landscape of dairy markets. Meanwhile, "Solar Settlers" challenges participants to harness solar power on a distant planet, presenting a quirky parallel to our investigation into the utilization of solar energy in unexpected settings.

As we traverse this colorful landscape of literature and imagination, one cannot help but marvel at the serendipitous intersections between literary works, board games, and the empirical findings that underpin our investigation. The juxtaposition of cheese and solar power may elicit a grin or a quizzical raised eyebrow, but we embrace these unexpected connections with gouda-natured curiosity and a zest for the unexplored.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To forge our way through this cheestery of a research endeavor, we employed a mix of analytical techniques to unearth the potential correlation between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. Our primary data sources consisted mainly of information extracted from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Energy Information Administration (EIA). We tapped into various databases, scoured reports, and simulated attempting to milk all available nuggets of data from 1999 to 2021.

The methodological approach we ultimately settled on could be likened to walking a tightrope made of cheese – a delicate balance of precision and caution to avoid cheesy pun overload. Our initial step involved conducting a comprehensive review of cheese consumption patterns in the United States, covering a wide variety of cheese types ranging from the classic cheddar to the more avant-garde artisanal selections. This involved slicing and dicing data on per capita consumption, use in recipes, and as a source of comfort during emotional Netflix binges.

Next, we turned our attention to Cuba – where the salsa music harmonizes with the sizzling heat of solar power. Navigating the complexities of solar power infrastructure is akin to untangling a particularly complex feta cheese salad – it requires patience, perseverance, and often the liberating use of a sharp knife. We meticulously examined the solar power generation rates and capacity within Cuba, taking into account geographical factors, policy frameworks, and local weather patterns to ensure our analysis wasn't full of holes like a block of Swiss cheese.

One noteworthy addition to our methodological approach was the use of advanced statistical methods, including regression analysis and time series modeling, to discern any underlying relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power production in Cuba. Our reliance on such statistical wizardry was deemed necessary to separate the queso from the whey, with the goal of achieving a level of statistical significance that was beyond a mere frippery of numbers.

It's important to acknowledge that navigating this curious terrain has not been without its challenges. As with any investigation into the fusion of seemingly unrelated elements, our journey has been filled with obstacles and moments of bemusement. The cross-examination of cheese and solar power has certainly been no walk in the park – instead, it has resembled scaling the treacherous Alps with only a fondue fork for guidance.

However, armed with the wisdom of the academic ages and the spirit of gastronomic curiosity, we navigated our way through the labyrinth of data, hoping to uncover the delectable secrets hidden within. While our methodology may appear to be as whimsical as the concept of a PhD in Dairy Science with a minor in Solar Engineering, it stands as a testament to the adventurous spirit of academic inquiry and the willingness to celebrate the unexpected connections that elevate the pursuit of knowledge.

Our findings lend support to prior research that has explored the interrelationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. The robust correlation coefficient and statistical significance uncovered in our study align with the curious musings of Gouda (2012), who, despite weaving a fictional narrative, alluded to the potential symbiosis between dairy products and solar energy. Although his work was whimsical in nature, the unexpected parallels with our empirical data cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence.

Furthermore, the culinary opus by Twain (2020) provided invaluable insights into the cultural significance of American cheese, highlighting its enduring popularity and global impact. Our results, which revealed a strong association between cheese consumption in the United States and solar power generation in Cuba, underscore the potential ramifications of gastronomic trends on international energy dynamics. It appears that the insights gleaned from literature, no matter how cheesy they may seem, have contributed to a deeper understanding of the interplay between dairy products and renewable energy sources.

It's worth noting that while "Solar Power for Dummies" by Einstein (2018) did not directly touch upon cheese consumption, its comprehensive elucidation of solar energy technologies laid the groundwork for our investigation into the utilization of solar power in unexpected settings, such as the cheese-laden landscape of this study. The knowledge garnered from this seminal work proved indispensable in our endeavor to unravel the enigmatic relationship between American cheese and solar power in Cuba.

Even the unconventional sources we encountered, such as board games simulating the economic impact of cheese distribution and harnessing solar power on a distant planet, contributed to our understanding of the multifaceted connections between seemingly disparate elements. The literary works, games, and empirical findings collectively painted a picture that cannot be attributed merely to chance but rather to the intriguing interplay of empirical data and the unexpected directions it can lead us.

In essence, our research not only provides empirical support for the unexpected correlation between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba but also underscores the serendipitous nature of scientific inquiry. It is a reminder that the pursuit of knowledge can lead us to delightfully surreal territory and, as researchers, we must always be ready to embrace the unexpected with a "gouda-natured" curiosity.

"The Big Cheese and the Solar Cubano: A Gouda Connection Between American Cheese Consumption and Solar Power Generation in Cuba"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delved into the unconventional correlation between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. Utilizing data from the USDA and Energy Information Administration, we sought to unravel the enigmatic relationship between these seemingly unrelated entities. Surprisingly, our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9237489 and p < 0.01 for the period spanning 1999 to 2021, suggesting a strong statistical association. Through our rigorous analysis, we uncovered a cheddarific connection that may have profound implications for the interplay of dairy products and renewable energy sources. Our results hint at the potential for a "grate" synergy between cheese consumption trends in the United States and solar power generation in Cuba, shedding light on a cheesy yet illuminating intersection of gastronomy and sustainability. Our research not only aims to entertain, but also to inspire further investigation into the unexpected interconnections that flavor our world.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The world of scientific inquiry is a fascinating terrain, often yielding unexpected discoveries and peculiar correlations. Our research delves into the uncharted territory of the relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. While this may seem as improbable as a lactose-intolerant mouse running a cheese shop, our initial investigations have unearthed a surprisingly robust association between these disparate entities.
At first glance, one might be forgiven for thinking that the only solar power associated with American cheese consumption comes from the heat generated when a particularly contentious debate erupts over the superiority of cheddar versus mozzarella on a pizza. Similarly, the idea of photovoltaic panels amidst the colorful streets of Havana might bring to mind more whimsical images of a technicolor cheese wheel in filtering glasses.
Yet, armed with the power of statistical analysis and a firm commitment to serious inquiry, we set out to understand the connection between these unlikely bedfellows. Our journey led us through vast spreadsheets of cheese consumption data, under the glare of the Cuban sun, and between the slices of uncertainty that often accompany unconventional research pursuits.
To be clear, our intention is not to trivialize the gravity of the national demands for dairy or energy, but rather to demonstrate the potential for serendipitous findings in the world of empirical investigation. The close examination of cheese consumption and solar power generation may seem, at first blush, to be as mismatched as socks in a dryer, yet the statistically significant results we have obtained suggest otherwise.
As we proceed to unfold the findings of our study, it is our hope that the conjunction of curds and kilowatts will not only stimulate academic curiosity but also provoke a wry smile and perhaps a latent craving for a solar-powered grilled cheese sandwich. After all, nothing enhances the pursuit of knowledge quite like a sprinkle of humor and a dollop of the unexpected.

[[RESULTS]]
Our investigation into the correlation between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba yielded some rather "gouda" results. After meticulously analyzing data from the USDA and the Energy Information Administration, we uncovered a surprising correlation coefficient of 0.9237489 along with an r-squared value of 0.8533120 for the period spanning 1999 to 2021. As if that weren't "grate" enough, our p-value also showed statistical significance, clocking in at less than 0.01.
It's not every day that one stumbles upon a correlation as strong as the bond between melted American cheese and a perfectly toasted piece of bread. The robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables hints at a peculiar fusion of gastronomy and sustainability, a discovery that is nothing to be "provolone" about.
In Fig. 1 (oh, the irony of the number), our scatterplot illustrates the close association between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba. It's as clear as the holes in a slice of Swiss cheese: when American cheese consumption goes up, so does solar power generated in Cuba. This finding may evoke a wry smile and perhaps an urge to whip up a solar-powered fondue under the Caribbean sun.
Our results illuminate a charmingly unexpected intersection between culinary indulgence and renewable energy, enriching the discourse on sustainable development with a sprinkle of cheesy delight. It's a testament to the serendipitous nature of empirical inquiry and a call to embrace the delightful surprises that await within the labyrinth of data analysis.
In conclusion, our research not only unraveled a "cheddarific" connection between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba but also added a dash of whimsy to the often staid world of academic investigation. Through this study, we invite readers to contemplate the potential avenues for synergy between gastronomic trends and sustainable energy solutions, all the while savoring the delightful surrealism that flavors the pursuit of knowledge.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In the illustrious tradition of "sharp" academic inquiry, our exploration into the enigmatic relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Cuba has yielded some truly "gouda" revelations. The statistically significant correlation between these seemingly unrelated entities hints at a fusion of gastronomy and sustainability that is as unexpected as finding a rogue cherry in your Caesar salad.

Our findings not only add a sprinkle of cheese to the discourse on renewable energy but also provide a "grate" excuse to ponder the potential for unconventional alliances in the pursuit of sustainability. After all, who wouldn't delight in the prospect of a solar-powered queso fountain to accompany their green energy cocktails?

In closing, we assert with utmost "cheddarity" that no more research is needed in this area - for now. The "feta" of future discoveries beckons from the "cheesy" constellations of empirical investigation, but for now, we bid adieu to this peculiar pairing of American cheese and Cuban solar power.

And remember, when life gives you statistical correlations, make statistical fondue!

Correlation r = 0.9237489 (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 = 0.8533120 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 85.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Solar power generated in Cuba) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., American cheese consumption) over the 23 years from 1999 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.3E-10. 0.0000000003266310473194871700
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 0.92 in 3.3E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,061,558,318 random variables You don't actually need 3 billion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 22 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 22 because we have two variables measured over a period of 23 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.

[ 0.83, 0.97 ] 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. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
