AI explanation
As more library science graduates entered the workforce, they sought to revolutionize traditional methods of categorization and storage. Their expertise in archival systems and information organization led to a rise in unconventional hiding spots for bodies, utilizing the Dewey Decimal System for morbid efficiency. The graduates' deep understanding of cataloging techniques may have sparked a macabre interest in creating a 'catalog of concealment,' ultimately leading to an alarming spike in the search for clandestine corpse-concealing strategies. It seems these graduates took the term 'silent stacks' quite literally, reshaping the concept of 'shelf space' in the most unthinkable manner. Who knew that behind the serene facade of libraries, a new chapter in the art of... cover-up would unfold? The unexpected lesson here: never underestimate the deadly power of knowledge neatly tucked away in the minds of librarians. We can only hope that their penchant for literary concealment doesn't land this explanation in the "crime" section of the internet's search history.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "The Impact of Library Science Education on Information Professionals," Smith et al. delve into the nuances of knowledge acquisition within the realm of information science. The authors find that individuals pursuing Bachelor's degrees in Library science undergo rigorous training in information organization and retrieval, equipping them with the skills to navigate the complex web of knowledge. This scholarly pursuit, it seems, may lead to a heightened awareness of information dissemination and the ethical responsibility that comes with it.
Similarly, Doe's "Navigating the Digital Landscape: A Study of Online Information Behavior" sheds light on the evolving nature of digital information consumption. The study uncovers the various channels through which individuals seek and interact with online content, illustrating the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of information behavior in the digital age.
Jones explores the societal preoccupation with macabre topics in "Curiosities of the Mind: A Psychological Analysis of Morbid Curiosity and its Manifestations." The author delves into the intricacies of human curiosity, particularly the fascination with subjects deemed taboo or morbid. This work offers a comprehensive examination of the psychological underpinnings that drive individuals to explore unconventional and sometimes unsettling topics.
Venturing into the non-fiction realm, books such as "The Library Book" by Susan Orlean and "The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood" by James Gleick present engaging narratives on the power and influence of information within society. These literary works underscore the profound impact of information science on our collective consciousness and the daily interactions with knowledge that shape our understanding of the world.
In a departure from the non-fiction landscape, fictional accounts such as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" and Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" offer intriguing glimpses into the darker facets of human nature. While these works may be primarily works of fiction, they reflect humanity's enduring curiosity with mysteries, secrets, and the enigmatic nature of the human psyche.
Moving beyond traditional sources of scholarly inquiry, our literature review extends to the unconventional. An in-depth analysis of the backs of shampoo bottles suggests a surprising prevalence of literary wisdom, albeit of a different genre altogether. These informative nuggets, often encountered during moments of contemplation in the bathroom, attest to the omnipresence of knowledge – whether serious or whimsical – in our daily lives.
As we navigate through the labyrinth of literature, it becomes clear that the intersection of Library science degrees and piquant Google searches is not as far-fetched as it may initially appear. Amidst the scholarly musings and fictional intrigue, the overarching theme of humanity's quest for knowledge and the unexpected avenues through which it manifests invites us to ponder the whimsical duality of our relationship with information.

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 = 0.6303164 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 63% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to hide a body') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Bachelor's degrees awarded in Library science) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0061. 0.0061015493958775090000000000
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 0.61% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 164 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.
[ 0.33, 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.
