[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The correlation between hydropower energy in Tunisia and Google searches for "attacked by a squirrel" may seem like a whimsical and unfathomable connection, but as we delve into the existing literature, it becomes evident that the interplay of seemingly unrelated variables is not without precedent.
In their study, Smith et al. (2015) explored the unexpected intersection of renewable energy and peculiar internet search trends, albeit in a different context. Meanwhile, Doe and Jones (2017) delved into the complexities of online behavior and its implications for renewable energy adoption, shedding light on the intricate relationship between human curiosity and search engine queries. These seminal works provided a foundational understanding of internet search patterns and their potential connection to renewable energy dynamics, setting the stage for the unlikely correlation we explore in this paper.
To gain a multidisciplinary perspective, we turn to non-fiction literature that may offer insights into the unanticipated interplay between renewable energy and wildlife encounters. In "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd and "The Nature Principle" by Richard Louv, we find compelling narratives on the intricate coexistence of humans and nature, hinting at the possibility of unexpected interactions between renewable energy production and wildlife habits. Furthermore, "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert presents a sobering exploration of biodiversity loss, serving as a somber reminder of the delicate balance between human activities and the natural world.
Before we venture into the realm of outright whimsy, it is worth considering the potential influence of fictional works on our understanding of human behavior and its manifestation in online search patterns. In "Watership Down" by Richard Adams and "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk" by David Sedaris, the portrayal of animal behavior and its intersection with human experiences offers a lighthearted yet insightful lens through which to contemplate the unexpected connections we encounter in our data.
Drawing inspiration from the realm of board games, the element of surprise in "Jumanji" and the strategic maneuvering in "Mouse Trap" bear a striking resemblance to the unpredictable correlations we have unearthed. While these analogies may appear far-fetched, they underscore the playful nature of our investigation and the audacious spirit with which we approach the unexpected links that captivate our imagination.
As we navigate this uncharted territory of interwoven renewable energy and squirrel-related internet inquiries, it becomes clear that the pursuit of knowledge often takes us on the most peculiar of journeys, where the absurd and the enlightening intertwine in ways that beguile and bemuse. With a twinkle in our eyes and a hearty dose of curiosity, we embark on this endeavor to decipher the enigmatic connection between hydropower energy and peculiar online searches, fully embracing the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make the pursuit of knowledge an endlessly fascinating pursuit.

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 = 0.7187852 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 71.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'attacked by a squirrel') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Hydopower energy generated in Tunisia) over the 18 years from 2004 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.9E-6. 0.0000088732129391501700000000
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 0.85 in 0.00089% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 112,699 random variables You don't actually need 112 thousand 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 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.
[ 0.63, 0.94 ] 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 25,213 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 635,695,369 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.
