[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature on the connection between wind power generation and online search behavior offers a blend of serious empirical analyses and outlandish speculations that collectively reflect the duality of scholarly pursuit - one foot grounded in rigorous inquiry, the other treading the whimsical paths of human curiosity. Smith and Doe (2015) conducted a comprehensive review of renewable energy consumption and its societal implications, underscoring the gravity of transitioning toward sustainable energy sources. Despite the noble intent permeating their work, our pursuit of the elusive link between wind power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the peculiar phrase 'I Am Dizzy' necessitates a departure from the conventional gravitas of academic discourse.

Moreover, Jones (2018) delved into the psychological ramifications of environmental factors on human cognition, illuminating the intricate ways in which individuals perceive and respond to changes in their surroundings. While the author's insights are undoubtedly valuable, our investigation into the seemingly capricious relationship between wind power and online searches for dizziness ventures into uncharted, perhaps even labyrinthine, territory.

Turning to non-fiction works, "The Wind Book" by Dorothy McIlvain Scott charts the historical, cultural, and environmental significance of wind, providing a rich tapestry of information that at once grounds our inquiry in the factual underpinnings of wind power, while also invoking poetic musings on the ethereal influence of air in shaping human experiences. Similarly, "The Dizziness Textbook" by Otto W. Appenzeller offers a scholarly yet approachable exploration of vestibular disorders, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of dizziness and its potential triggers.

In the realm of fiction, Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom" and its contemplative passages on the turbulence of human emotions amidst the backdrop of environmental change offer allegorical insights into the tumultuous dynamics that may underlie the association between renewable energy and online expressions of disorientation. Additionally, Haruki Murakami's enigmatic narrative in "Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" presents a surreal tableau of interconnected events that, while seemingly unrelated to our topic, exemplifies the whimsical byways through which wind and human experience intertwine.

It is essential to note that the internet's inexhaustible repository of memes has not remained untouched by our topic of interest. The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, known for its depiction of indecision and wavering attention, could serve as a tongue-in-cheek testament to the fickle nature of human responses to external stimuli, including the search for meaning amid the gusts of digital expression.

In sum, the literature on wind power and human behavior encompasses a spectrum of scholarly rigor and fanciful contemplation, mirroring the playful yet purposeful spirit that guides our endeavor to uncover the puzzling connection between wind power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the chorus of 'I Am Dizzy' reverberating across cyberspace.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The literature on the connection between wind power generation and online search behavior offers a blend of serious empirical analyses and outlandish speculations that collectively reflect the duality of scholarly pursuit - one foot grounded in rigorous inquiry, the other treading the whimsical paths of human curiosity. Smith and Doe (2015) conducted a comprehensive review of renewable energy consumption and its societal implications, underscoring the gravity of transitioning toward sustainable energy sources. Despite the noble intent permeating their work, our pursuit of the elusive link between wind power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the peculiar phrase 'I Am Dizzy' necessitates a departure from the conventional gravitas of academic discourse.
Moreover, Jones (2018) delved into the psychological ramifications of environmental factors on human cognition, illuminating the intricate ways in which individuals perceive and respond to changes in their surroundings. While the author's insights are undoubtedly valuable, our investigation into the seemingly capricious relationship between wind power and online searches for dizziness ventures into uncharted, perhaps even labyrinthine, territory.
Turning to non-fiction works, "The Wind Book" by Dorothy McIlvain Scott charts the historical, cultural, and environmental significance of wind, providing a rich tapestry of information that at once grounds our inquiry in the factual underpinnings of wind power, while also invoking poetic musings on the ethereal influence of air in shaping human experiences. Similarly, "The Dizziness Textbook" by Otto W. Appenzeller offers a scholarly yet approachable exploration of vestibular disorders, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of dizziness and its potential triggers.
In the realm of fiction, Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom" and its contemplative passages on the turbulence of human emotions amidst the backdrop of environmental change offer allegorical insights into the tumultuous dynamics that may underlie the association between renewable energy and online expressions of disorientation. Additionally, Haruki Murakami's enigmatic narrative in "Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" presents a surreal tableau of interconnected events that, while seemingly unrelated to our topic, exemplifies the whimsical byways through which wind and human experience intertwine.
It is essential to note that the internet's inexhaustible repository of memes has not remained untouched by our topic of interest. The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, known for its depiction of indecision and wavering attention, could serve as a tongue-in-cheek testament to the fickle nature of human responses to external stimuli, including the search for meaning amid the gusts of digital expression.
In sum, the literature on wind power and human behavior encompasses a spectrum of scholarly rigor and fanciful contemplation, mirroring the playful yet purposeful spirit that guides our endeavor to uncover the puzzling connection between wind power in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the chorus of 'I Am Dizzy' reverberating across cyberspace.

[[RESULTS]]
Our analysis of the relationship between wind power generation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy' yielded intriguing results. The correlation coefficient between these two variables was found to be a striking 0.9489576, indicating a remarkably strong positive association between the amount of wind power generated and the frequency of searches for dizziness. The r-squared value of 0.9005206 further underscores the robustness of this relationship, explaining a substantial proportion of the variance in the search data. Additionally, the p-value of less than 0.01 provides strong evidence against the null hypothesis of no correlation, offering compelling support for the existence of a genuine connection between these seemingly disparate phenomena.
Fig. 1 visually depicts this noteworthy correlation, showcasing a scatterplot that unmistakably illustrates the close correspondence between wind power generation and Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy.' The data points coalesce into a discernible pattern, resembling the spiraling gusts of wind, albeit in the digital realm. One can almost imagine the fluctuating search interest mirroring the ebb and flow of the invisible currents that power the turbines in Bosnia and Herzegovina, evoking a sense of whimsical unity between environmental factors and human behavior.
These findings not only present a statistical curiosity but also portend the potential for a windfall of new inquiries into the broader implications of renewable energy on human expressions. While the idea of wind power causing dizziness may seem like a spin-off from a comical sitcom, our data suggest a tangible link, beckoning researchers and enthusiasts alike to reckon with the unexpected whirlwinds of the natural world and their poltergeist-like effects on human online activity.
In sum, our results not only add a gust of whimsical wonder to the scholarly discourse but also blow open the doors to further investigations into the dizzying interplay between environmental influences and human responses. This study not only takes us for a wild spin through the realm of renewable energy and online behavior but also shows us that, in the world of research, one should always expect the unexpected – and perhaps keep some anti-dizziness medication handy!

Correlation r = 0.9489576 (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 = 0.9005206 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i am dizzy') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Wind power generated in Bosnia and Herzegovina) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.3E-6. 0.0000083378964355990220000000
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 0.00083% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 119,934 random variables You don't actually need 119 thousand 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 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.

[ 0.81, 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 25,153 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.
