AI explanation
With fewer authors, there were fewer plot twists to spark interest in committing a fiery crime. As the literary population dwindled, so did the desire to light up the local scene. It seems the pen wasn't the only thing losing its spark in Delaware! Or, perhaps there were just too many "unpublishable" attempts at crime fiction, leaving would-be arsonists feeling like their ideas were all just...up in smoke. After all, when you can't even novel-ize your plans, it's not as easy to ignite that literary-inspired arson spree.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between the number of authors in Delaware and arson incidents has been a subject of surprising interest in recent literature. Smith and Doe (2017) presented the initial statistical analysis revealing a positive association between the proliferation of authors in the state and the frequency of arson occurrences. Jones et al. (2019) further corroborated these findings, highlighting the unexpected correlation that left the academic community in flames with speculation.
It seems that the literary landscape of Delaware is yielding statistical kindling for arson, raising questions that are as perplexing as trying to understand why the author chose to kill off the protagonist's best friend in the first chapter.
A notable non-fiction work that delves into the socioeconomic fabric of Delaware is "Delaware: A History" by John A. Munroe, as it narrates the state's evolution and dynamics, shedding light on potential underpinnings of the author-arson connection. Moving to the realm of fiction, works such as "Burning Bright" by Tracy Chevalier and "The Fireman" by Joe Hill may not speak directly to Delaware, but their fiery themes certainly resonate with the unexpected correlation we are exploring.
In the world of cartoons and children's shows, "Fireman Sam" and "Fahrenheit 451" are classics that subtly allude to the fiery discourse we are unravelling, although we must admit they do not offer much in the way of statistical evidence.
This unexpected correlation has ignited a fervor of curiosity in the academic community, prompting further investigation into the potential mechanisms and implications of this unlikely relationship. As we embark on our own exploration of this curious intersection between literary creation and criminal combustion, we hope to shed light on the blazing mystery of Delaware's literary fires. After all, understanding the relationship between authors and arson in Delaware might just be the plot twist that sets the academic world ablaze with new perspectives.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To uncover the enigmatic connection between the number of authors in Delaware and the incidence of arson in the state, our research team embarked on a journey that would rival the complexities of a plot twist in a mystery novel. Our data collection process involved scouring the depths of the internet, akin to a detective pursuing elusive clues, and predominantly relied on information sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services. With data spanning the years 2003 to 2022, we set out to untangle this unexpected correlation using a blend of statistical techniques and, of course, a healthy dose of wit.
Our first step in this investigation was to obtain comprehensive information on the number of authors in Delaware. We surveyed various literary organizations, websites, and publishing agencies, employing a method that could be likened to counting characters in a gripping novel – meticulous and thorough, with a hint of suspense. Upon compiling this data, we delved into the realm of arson incidents in Delaware, tapping into the FBI Crime Data Explorer and exploring state-level statistics using a systematic approach that was as methodical as it was captivating.
Now, let's talk about the statistical methods we used. We employed a robust statistical analysis that would make even the most astute of detectives proud. Our approach involved calculating correlations, leveraging multiple regression models, and conducting time series analyses to scrutinize the temporal patterns of both authorship and arson. Imagine Sherlock Holmes piecing together evidence from disparate clues – we used a comparable approach, except our clues were numbers, and our deductions were borne from correlation coefficients and p-values.
Once we had maneuvered through the labyrinth of data collection and statistical analyses, we were primed to unearth the unexpected relationship between these seemingly disparate variables. Our findings not only revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.7857296 but also yielded a p-value well below the conventional threshold of 0.01, signifying a robust statistical significance. It's almost as if the data itself was trying to write a compelling narrative!
Moreover, our approach also involved controlling for potential confounding variables, much like a detective sifting through red herrings to identify the true culprit. We accounted for demographic factors, economic indicators, and even meteorological data to ensure that our findings were as precise as the plot of a meticulously crafted mystery novel.
And just like a good cliffhanger, we made sure to validate our findings through sensitivity analyses and robustness checks, ensuring that our conclusions were as unassailable as the resolution of a gripping whodunit. After all, when it comes to unexpected relationships between authors and arson, we need to be as thorough as a detective unraveling a complex plot.
This methodological journey has not only provided us with a deeper understanding of the unexpected connection between the literary world and the realm of arson in Delaware but has also given us an opportunity to showcase the creativity, rigor, and, dare we say, spark of humor that defines our research approach. As Agatha Christie once said, "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." And with our methodology, we've certainly started a riveting investigation into a most unlikely link.

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 = 0.6173710 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 61.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Arson in Delaware) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of authors in Delaware) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.031E-5. 0.0000403063819082839400000000
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 0.79 in 0.004031% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 24,810 random variables You don't actually need 24 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. 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.
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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.
[ 0.53, 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. - 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.
