[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The existing body of literature on the correlation between dietetic technician numbers in Hawaii and Google searches for 'flights to Antarctica' is, unsurprisingly, scarce but nonetheless intriguing. While the initial search for relevant studies yielded few straightforward findings, the authors find an assortment of tangentially related research that adds a touch of levity to the investigation.

Smith et al. (2018) conducted a comprehensive study on the occupational demographics in Hawaii, focusing on the healthcare sector. While their research omitted any explicit mention of the dietary field, it did reveal an interesting subtext regarding the geographical distribution of employment opportunities, hinting at the greater relevance of location-specific factors in professional pursuits. Following a similar thread, Doe (2015) explored the psychological underpinnings of travel aspirations, providing valuable insights into the psyche of individuals contemplating far-flung destinations. The subtle implications of wanderlust and the connection to dietary nuances remain ripe for further exploration.

As the search extended to non-fiction literature, the authors stumbled upon "The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat" by Tim Spector, a thought-provoking exploration of dietary practices and their implications for human health. While Spector’s work did not directly touch upon the geographic locale of Hawaii or the frosty allure of Antarctica, its take on dietary endeavors offered a delightful juxtaposition to the research at hand. In a similar vein, "The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition" by Caroline Alexander emerged as an unexpected addition to the literature search, drawing attention to the captivating tales of Antarctic exploration, albeit veering away from the dietetic focus.

In an offbeat pursuit, the literature search was momentarily sidetracked by the temptation of board games, with "The Settlers of Catan" and its expansion, "Explorers & Pirates," suggesting a vague thematic connection to the juxtaposition of dietetics and travel yearnings. Although the relevance of these diversions may seem tenuous, the whimsical detour served as a lighthearted reminder of the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated enterprises.

The meandering search through fiction literature led the authors to contemplate the intertwining narratives of "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and Jules Verne’s classic "Journey to the Center of the Earth," each presenting divergent yet engaging perspectives that, in their own way, touched upon the themes of culinary quests and exploratory fervor. While these works offered no straightforward answers, they underscored the quirky intricacies of human interests and the curious avenues of escapism that may underpin the correlation under scrutiny.

In sum, while the search for directly pertinent studies yielded limited fruits, the tangentially related literature injected a dose of whimsy and lighthearted curiosity into the exploration of the dietetic technician-Antarctica connection. This delightful detour, interspersed with subtle observations and offbeat associations, sets the stage for the thrilling analysis and discussion that follows.

In conclusion, the findings of our study have unveiled a rather bewitching connection between the number of dietetic technicians in Hawaii and the frequency of Google searches for 'flights to Antarctica'. This correlation, while initially perplexing, has revealed itself to be strikingly robust, with a correlation coefficient of 0.7993560 and a p-value of less than 0.01. Such statistical significance cannot be overstated, indicating a compelling relationship that beckons further scrutiny.

Delving into the underlying factors contributing to this correlation opens up a world of whimsical speculation. Are the residents of Hawaii seeking to balance their nutritional habits, hence fueling an urge to embark on an Antarctic adventure in pursuit of fresh, unadulterated sustenance? Or perhaps the allure of the Great White Continent simply complements a longing for healthier, polar-inspired cuisine? While these suppositions may seem far-fetched, one cannot dismiss the enigmatic ways of human proclivity and the capricious dance of statistical causation.

The implications of this correlation are twofold, as they prompt both scholarly contemplation and lighthearted amusement. In scrutinizing this unexpected relationship, we are compelled to consider not only the coalescence of dietary and travel preferences but also the mercurial nature of online search behavior. It is our fervent hope that this exploration into the unlikeliest of associations will not only provoke intellectual curiosity but also add a touch of whimsy to the rigorous pursuit of knowledge.

In light of the compelling evidence put forth in this study, we assert that no further research is needed in this area, as this correlation stands as a singular testament to the delightful and confounding idiosyncrasies of human behavior. The whims of statistical correlation have spoken, and they have done so with a charmingly enigmatic flair.

Correlation r = 0.7993560 (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 = 0.6389700 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 63.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'flights to Antarctica') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of dietetic technicians in Hawaii) over the 17 years from 2005 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00012. 0.0001180301109407826600000000
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 0.8 in 0.012% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 8,472 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 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.

[ 0.52, 0.92 ] 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.
