[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In the realm of unconventional correlations, the study of Butter consumption and Renewable energy production in Burundi stands as a testament to the unexpected synergies that can be found within the annals of consumption and energy literature. Smith et al. (2015) delved into the rich tapestry of dairy consumption patterns, while Doe's examination of renewable energy infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa shed light on the complexities of energy production. These works laid the groundwork for our own investigation into the seemingly disparate yet curiously intertwined domains of butter and renewable energy in the context of Burundi.
Turning the pages of non-fiction works such as "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "Energy and Civilization: A History" by Vaclav Smil provided insightful perspectives on the interconnectedness of food consumption and energy generation. The juxtaposition of Pollan's musings on agricultural practices and Smil's historical analysis of energy transitions evoked a buttery smooth flow of ideas that served as intellectual nourishment for our research endeavors.
Expanding the literary landscape to include fictional works, "Butter: A Rich History" by Elaine Khosrova and "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami offered imaginative vignettes that hinted at the underlying whimsy of our investigation. Though their narratives may not have focused precisely on the Burundian context, the evocative imagery of butter churning and wind energy resonated with the spirit of our quest to uncover the untold story of butter and energy in Burundi.
In an unorthodox turn, anecdotal evidence from social media sources added a sprinkle of levity to the scholarly discourse. A Twitter thread discussing the potential synergies between butter production and wind energy in rural communities elicited a chorus of puns, with one user proclaiming, "Looks like there's more to 'butter churners' than meets the 'pie'!" Such lighthearted banter served as a reminder of the delightful absurdity that often accompanies scientific inquiry.
As we amalgamate these diverse insights into the butter-renewable energy nexus, it becomes apparent that our investigation transcends the boundaries of traditional scholarly pursuits. The fusion of rigorous research, literary inspiration, and social media musings creates a delightful mosaic that showcases the exuberant spirit of inquiry while "churning the currents" of knowledge in unexpected ways.

Butter, often synonymous with decadent indulgence, and renewable energy, a symbol of sustainability and innovation, may seem as mismatched as wearing a tuxedo to the beach. But our intrepid exploration aimed to dig beneath the surface and uncover the creamy, yet impactful, truth lurking within the datasets.
Burundi, a country known for its captivating landscapes and rich agricultural heritage, provided the perfect backdrop for this whimsical investigation. With its rolling hills, fertile soil, and the rhythmic hum of traditional butter churns, it seemed an idyllic setting to embark on this scientific odyssey.
As we buttered up our statistical models with USDA consumption data and energy production figures from the Energy Information Administration, we couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected dance between butter and energy. The results left us "butter"ly surprised, revealing a correlation coefficient that was stronger than the bond between bread and butter, and a p-value so small that it could fit on the head of a pat.
In this paper, we invite fellow scholars to join us in savoring the delight of this research, which not only churns the conventional ideas about energy and consumption but also spreads a delicious layer of insight into the potential for a "buttery smooth" transition towards sustainable energy practices. So grab your toast and strap on your solar panels as we delve into the "churning currents" of the Burundian butter-renewable energy nexus.

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 = 0.7941229 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 79.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Renewable energy production in Burundi) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Butter consumption) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.1E-12. 0.0000000000081373275308171230
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 0.89 in 8.1E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 122,890,469,409 random variables You don't actually need 122 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 31 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 31 because we have two variables measured over a period of 32 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.
[ 0.79, 0.95 ] 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. - Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
