AI explanation
As hydropower in South Africa increased, it led to more ship traffic in the surrounding waters which inadvertently created ideal conditions for pirate attacks. The calm, electrically charged waters provided the perfect environment for pirates to conduct their dastardly deeds. As the ships powered through the newly energized seas, they unknowingly attracted swashbuckling bandits with their magnetic presence. It was a shocking turn of events as the once peaceful waters became a hotbed for seafaring scallywags. The electrifying connection between hydropower in South Africa and pirate attacks on a global scale left many stunned, but it's clear that these power-hungry pirates were just riding the current of opportunity.

[[INTRODUCTION]]
The realm of energy production and maritime security may seem as unrelated as a pirate's parrot and a photovoltaic cell, but our research unearthed a remarkable connection between the generation of hydropower energy in South Africa and the incidence of pirate attacks on the high seas. As we embarked on this seafaring journey of analysis, we were initially as skeptical as a landlubber spotting a mermaid, but the data told a different tale.
Hydropower, touted for its sustainability and potential for renewable energy, has generally been in the limelight for its contributions to the national grid and the environment. Meanwhile, the world of piracy conjures images of peg-legged swashbucklers, eyepatches, and buried treasure. However, our investigation revealed an unexpected nautical twist in this energy tale, akin to a sudden squall on a calm sea.
The relationship between hydropower generation in South Africa and global pirate activity raises numerous questions and spurs curiosity, like a treasure map leading to wonder and bewilderment. It also raises the stakes in the game of international maritime security, adding a touch of intrigue to the otherwise buoyant world of energy production.
In this paper, we explore the statistical correlations, potential causal mechanisms, and the implications of this unlikely duo. While some may dismiss this link as mere happenstance, we aim to demonstrate that the connection between hydropower energy and international piracy is not a mere fluke. Its impacts are as palpable as a ship's crow's nest and deserve serious attention and further investigation, despite the initial absurdity of the juxtaposition.
As we set sail into uncharted waters of inquiry, we encourage readers to brace themselves for an odyssey of unexpected findings and perhaps a few nautical-themed puns along the way. Our journey promises to shed light on what has largely been overlooked – a watery alliance between hydropower energy and the exploits of seafaring scallywags. So, grab your compass and telescope, and prepare to navigate this exhilarating journey through the choppy seas of energy generation and maritime mischief.

But little did Jones and his colleagues foresee that the geopolitics of energy would entangle with the geopolitics of piracy on the high seas, adding a layer of intrigue that would rival the most captivating sea shanty.
On the more light-hearted side, in "Pirates: The Complete History from 1300 BC to the Present Day" by Konstam, the authors provide a comprehensive account of piracy throughout the ages, highlighting the daring exploits of seafaring outlaws. While their focus is on the historical escapades of pirates, who knew that their legacy would continue to ripple through the seas, crossing paths with the unassuming energy infrastructure of South Africa?
Similarly, in "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, readers are taken on a thrilling adventure of treasure hunts and mutinous plots. Though a work of fiction, the captivating narrative resonates with the allure of hidden treasure and the allure of energy generation, proving that sometimes reality can be as engaging and bewildering as fiction.
As if taking cues from fiction, films like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Captain Phillips" demonstrate the enduring fascination with maritime lore and piracy. Nonetheless, little did the creators of these films know that their tales of maritime hijinks and high-stakes adventure would intersect with the world of hydropower energy generation in a way that defies the imagination.
The convergence of these seemingly disparate realms – scholarly research, historical accounts, literary fiction, and cinematic adventures – may seem as unlikely as finding buried treasure beneath a hydropower dam, yet our investigation has shown that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction. As we unfold the pages and reels of these diverse sources, we invite our readers to revel in the quirkiness of our findings and perhaps unearth a few chuckles of their own along the way. After all, what's a journey through the high seas without a bit of lighthearted merrymaking? And brace yourself – there might be a few more aquatic puns coming with the next wave of our discussion.

[[DISCUSSION]]
The findings of our study serve as a testament to the wide-reaching impact of hydropower generation and its unforeseen connection to global piracy. As we delve into the depths of this peculiar association, it becomes evident that the waters of energy production and maritime mischief may not be as separate as they seem, much like barnacles clinging to a hull.
Our results align with prior studies that have emphasized the complex interplay between energy production and societal dynamics. Smith's exploration of the social impacts of hydropower development may have focused on local communities and ecosystems, but our findings add another dimension to the societal impact, one that extends across continents and oceans, akin to the far-reaching waves caused by a mischievous sea serpent. Doe's depiction of the intricacies of energy economics indeed failed to anticipate the buccaneering element lurking beneath the surface, reminding us of the adage, "There's more to energy economics than meets the eye – or the peg leg." Jones' insights into the geopolitical implications of energy production now take on a swashbuckling twist, turning the geopolitical game into a maritime adventure worthy of the most intrepid corsairs.
This unexpected connection also sheds light on the need for a broader perspective in energy and maritime security discourse, prompting us to exchange our traditional compass for a more whimsical sextant that navigates the mystifying waters of correlation and causation. While our findings may seem as unlikely as finding a parrot in a power plant, they underscore the importance of considering uncharted territories in scholarly investigation and the potential for remarkable discoveries that may lay hidden amidst the tumultuous waves of data.
The robust statistical relationship we have uncovered demands a shift in the trajectory of scholarly investigation, urging researchers to plunge beneath the surface of conventional wisdom and uncover the buried treasure trove of unexpected linkages. This correlation between South African hydropower and global piracy is a signal buoy for scholars not only to embrace the unexpected but also to sail forth with a spirit of humor and open-mindedness. And who knows, one might just encounter a treasure trove of knowledge that transcends the ordinary into the extraordinary, much like stumbling upon a legendary chest of academic gold during a stroll along the beach.
In sum, our findings beckon researchers to embark on a voyage of inquiry that blurs the line between the whimsical and the scholarly, the captivating and the empirical. Our study is merely the tip of the iceberg, or perhaps the tip of a flotsam-laden shipwreck, inviting further exploration into the uncharted waters of unexpected connections and reminding us that sometimes, truth can be stranger, and infinitely more amusing, than fiction. So, put on your metaphorical tricorn hat and brace yourselves – for the unexpected swell of merriment and enlightenment that awaits in this delightfully offbeat scholarly expedition. As the imminent tide of knowledge rolls in, we encourage fellow researchers to join us in hoisting the anchor of conventional thinking and setting sail for uncharted waters, where the unexpected may just yield the most thrilling and astonishing harvest.

Through a meticulous analysis of data from the Energy Information Administration and Statista, our findings revealed a noteworthy correlation between the two seemingly unrelated phenomena. With a correlation coefficient of 0.7113564 and a significance level of p < 0.01 during the period from 2009 to 2021, the evidence presents an unexpected twist in the world of energy and maritime security. While our exploration may initially seem like merely a whimsical endeavor, the implications of our findings could have a splashy impact on both the energetics and seafaring communities. We consider the potential ramifications of this connection and propose avenues for further investigation, also for those who are keen on a good nautical-themed pun.
[[INTRDUCTION]]
The realm of energy production and maritime security may seem as unrelated as a pirate's parrot and a photovoltaic cell, but our research unearthed a remarkable connection between the generation of hydropower energy in South Africa and the incidence of pirate attacks on the high seas. As we embarked on this seafaring journey of analysis, we were initially as skeptical as a landlubber spotting a mermaid, but the data told a different tale.
Hydropower, touted for its sustainability and potential for renewable energy, has generally been in the limelight for its contributions to the national grid and the environment. Meanwhile, the world of piracy conjures images of peg-legged swashbucklers, eyepatches, and buried treasure. However, our investigation revealed an unexpected nautical twist in this energy tale, akin to a sudden squall on a calm sea.
The relationship between hydropower generation in South Africa and global pirate activity raises numerous questions and spurs curiosity, like a treasure map leading to wonder and bewilderment. It also raises the stakes in the game of international maritime security, adding a touch of intrigue to the otherwise buoyant world of energy production.
In this paper, we explore the statistical correlations, potential causal mechanisms, and the implications of this unlikely duo. While some may dismiss this link as mere happenstance, we aim to demonstrate that the connection between hydropower energy and international piracy is not a mere fluke. Its impacts are as palpable as a ship's crow's nest and deserve serious attention and further investigation, despite the initial absurdity of the juxtaposition.
As we set sail into uncharted waters of inquiry, we encourage readers to brace themselves for an odyssey of unexpected findings and perhaps a few nautical-themed puns along the way. Our journey promises to shed light on what has largely been overlooked – a watery alliance between hydropower energy and the exploits of seafaring scallywags. So, grab your compass and telescope, and prepare to navigate this exhilarating journey through the choppy seas of energy generation and maritime mischief.

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 = 0.5060279 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 50.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Pirate attacks globally) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Hydopower energy generated in South Africa) over the 13 years from 2009 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0064. 0.0063994462107102540000000000
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 0.71 in 0.64% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 156 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 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.
[ 0.26, 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
