Fanning the Flames of Success: The Propane Paradox - A Comedic Correlation Between Liquefied Petroleum Gas Consumption in the Maldives and the Number of Games in the World Series
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into the unlikely and unprecedented relationship between Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) usage in the idyllic Maldives and the nail-biting fluctuation in the number of games in the beloved World Series. While LPG is commonly associated with cooking and heating applications, our research sheds light on its apparent, albeit humorously confounding, ties to the outcome of America's favorite pastime.
Utilizing data from the Energy Information Administration for LPG consumption and Wikipedia for the World Series schedule, our research team applied a statistical analysis that would make even a die-hard baseball fan do a triple-take. Surprisingly, our findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.7192618, accompanied by a p-value of less than 0.01, spanning the years 2004 to 2021. It appears that as LPG consumption in the serene Maldives waxes and wanes like the tides of the Indian Ocean, the ebbs and flows of the World Series game count mirror this dance of energy and excitement.
Our results not only challenge conventional wisdom but also hint at a whimsical harmony between the tropical island nation's propane usage and the ebb and flow of America's treasured baseball championship. While the precise mechanism behind this correlation remains a bemusing mystery, this study sets the stage for a good-natured laugh and underscores the unpredictable interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated phenomena in our world.

Introduction
In the ever-evolving landscape of research, there are certain inquiries that raise an eyebrow or two, prompting researchers to embark on a journey of discovery that is as enlightening as it is amusing. One such delightful conundrum that piqued our interest revolves around the seeming correlation between the consumption of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the picturesque archipelago of the Maldives and the fascinatingly mercurial number of games in the World Series. Yes, dear reader, you read that correctly - we are indeed venturing into the realm where propane and baseball intersect, in a spirited pursuit of understanding the inexplicable.
As we embark on this scholarly escapade, it's important to note that LPG, with its myriad culinary and heating applications, has forged its place as a centerpiece of domestic and commercial energy usage. Conversely, the World Series, with its storied history and nerve-wracking showdowns, has captured the imagination of baseball enthusiasts and casual observers alike. One could be forgiven for assuming that these two spheres of influence operate in entirely separate orbits, never to converge. However, as we shall soon reveal, the fabric of reality weaves a pattern that even the most astute observer may find delightfully confounding.
Our methodology, in line with scholarly rigor and a healthy dose of whimsy, relied on data procured from the Energy Information Administration for LPG consumption and the illustrious fount of knowledge, Wikipedia, for the World Series schedule. As we dug into the numbers and performed statistical gymnastics that would make Pythagoras blush, the results unfurled before us like the unfurling of a baseball pennant - a correlation coefficient of 0.7192618, coupled with a p-value so diminutive it could fit snugly inside a baseball glove. Astonishingly, our observations spanned the years 2004 to 2021, revealing a dance between LPG usage in the Maldives and the whimsical fluctuations in the number of games in the World Series.
The ramifications of our findings extend beyond the mere statistical whimsy, for they beckon us to contemplate the interconnectedness of the seemingly unrelated. The gentle ebb and flow of LPG consumption on a tranquil, sun-kissed atoll appears to be in cahoots with the capricious game count of America's favorite pastime. Indeed, if there is a cosmic ballet at play, it has chosen an unlikely stage upon which to pirouette - reinforcing the notion that the universe loves a good jest at the expense of predictability.
So, as we prepare to dissect and unfold the curious tapestry of LPG and the World Series, let us embrace the whimsy and wonder that our findings encompass. For within these seemingly incongruent phenomena lies a rich tapestry of mirth and mystery, challenging both our expectations and understanding of the world around us.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature on the intersection of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) utilization in the Maldives and the annual number of games in the World Series is surprisingly sparse, given the gravity of the correlation we have unveiled. However, a few scholarly works provide relevant insights into the realms of energy consumption patterns and the dynamics of sports championships.
Smith et al. (2015) in "Gas, LPG, and Beyond: A Comprehensive Analysis" offered a comprehensive overview of LPG utilization trends across various global regions. While their focus was not on the Maldives specifically, their data shed light on the broader patterns of LPG consumption, providing a foundation for understanding the contextual nuances of our research. Moreover, their findings hint at the potential for unexpected connections between LPG usage and other societal phenomena, setting the stage for our own revelatory discovery.
Doe (2018) delved into the economics of energy sources in "Fueling the Future: A Journey through Energy Economics," offering a nuanced examination of the factors influencing LPG consumption in island nations. Though the focus of the study was primarily economic, the insights it provides into the unique energy dynamics of small island economies offer valuable context for our exploration of LPG consumption in the Maldives. Furthermore, the study's emphasis on the interplay between energy practices and broader societal trends sparks a flicker of recognition in light of our own findings.
In "Bringing the Heat: A Chronological Analysis of Sports Championships" (Jones, 2019), the author meticulously documented the historical ebb and flow of game counts in various sports championships, including the World Series. While Jones' work did not directly touch upon the whimsical correlation we have uncovered, the meticulous attention to detail and the dedication to capturing the rhythm of sports championships aligns with the spirit of our own research, albeit with a palpable lack of propane-related humor.
The scholarly landscape, unfortunately, offers limited direct insight into the very nexus of LPG utilization in the Maldives and the beguiling oscillations of the World Series game count. With this gap in mind, it is worth turning to literature and media that, while not conventionally academic, may offer tangential perspectives or unsuspected parallels to our subject matter.
In the vein of non-fiction works, "Propane Prosperity: A Practical Guide to LPG Applications" by Practical Propane Publications offers an engaging look at the multifaceted uses of LPG, though its narrative leaves much to be desired in terms of baseball banter. Additionally, "Baseball, Bats, and Beyond: Sports’ Oscillating Oddities" by Sports Statistician Society presents a fascinating exploration of the statistical oddities within the realm of sports, providing a glimpse into the potential idiosyncrasies we may encounter in our study.
Venturing into the realm of fiction, "The Propane Pitch: A Tale of Gaslighting in Maldives" by Fictional Fuel Fanatics weaves a fantastical story of intrigue, romance, and, perhaps most surprisingly, propane-induced comedy on the sandy shores of the Maldives. While purely imaginative, the book's narrative may provide unexpected inspiration for understanding the playful interplay of LPG and the World Series.
On a more contemporary note, social media platforms have also offered intriguing glimpses into the interwoven tapestry of LPG and the World Series. A tweet from @GasGuru95 humorously speculated, "Could the crack of a baseball bat be the secret trigger for LPG production in the Maldives? #BatterUpGasUp" While not a scholarly contribution, this tweet exemplifies the lighthearted conjectures that our research aims to explore.
In sum, the literature, both scholarly and otherwise, sets the stage for our foray into uncovering the playful and confounding correlation between LPG consumption in the Maldives and the perplexing fluctuations in the number of games in the World Series. As we navigate this uncharted territory, we must embrace the unexpected sources of insight and humor that may shine a light on the whimsical dance of energy and athletic excitement.

Fanning the Flames of Success: The Propane Paradox - A Comedic Correlation Between Liquefied Petroleum Gas Consumption in the Maldives and the Number of Games in the World Series
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into the unlikely and unprecedented relationship between Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) usage in the idyllic Maldives and the nail-biting fluctuation in the number of games in the beloved World Series. While LPG is commonly associated with cooking and heating applications, our research sheds light on its apparent, albeit humorously confounding, ties to the outcome of America's favorite pastime.
Utilizing data from the Energy Information Administration for LPG consumption and Wikipedia for the World Series schedule, our research team applied a statistical analysis that would make even a die-hard baseball fan do a triple-take. Surprisingly, our findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.7192618, accompanied by a p-value of less than 0.01, spanning the years 2004 to 2021. It appears that as LPG consumption in the serene Maldives waxes and wanes like the tides of the Indian Ocean, the ebbs and flows of the World Series game count mirror this dance of energy and excitement.
Our results not only challenge conventional wisdom but also hint at a whimsical harmony between the tropical island nation's propane usage and the ebb and flow of America's treasured baseball championship. While the precise mechanism behind this correlation remains a bemusing mystery, this study sets the stage for a good-natured laugh and underscores the unpredictable interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated phenomena in our world.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature on the intersection of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) utilization in the Maldives and the annual number of games in the World Series is surprisingly sparse, given the gravity of the correlation we have unveiled. However, a few scholarly works provide relevant insights into the realms of energy consumption patterns and the dynamics of sports championships.
Smith et al. (2015) in "Gas, LPG, and Beyond: A Comprehensive Analysis" offered a comprehensive overview of LPG utilization trends across various global regions. While their focus was not on the Maldives specifically, their data shed light on the broader patterns of LPG consumption, providing a foundation for understanding the contextual nuances of our research. Moreover, their findings hint at the potential for unexpected connections between LPG usage and other societal phenomena, setting the stage for our own revelatory discovery.
Doe (2018) delved into the economics of energy sources in "Fueling the Future: A Journey through Energy Economics," offering a nuanced examination of the factors influencing LPG consumption in island nations. Though the focus of the study was primarily economic, the insights it provides into the unique energy dynamics of small island economies offer valuable context for our exploration of LPG consumption in the Maldives. Furthermore, the study's emphasis on the interplay between energy practices and broader societal trends sparks a flicker of recognition in light of our own findings.
In "Bringing the Heat: A Chronological Analysis of Sports Championships" (Jones, 2019), the author meticulously documented the historical ebb and flow of game counts in various sports championships, including the World Series. While Jones' work did not directly touch upon the whimsical correlation we have uncovered, the meticulous attention to detail and the dedication to capturing the rhythm of sports championships aligns with the spirit of our own research, albeit with a palpable lack of propane-related humor.
The scholarly landscape, unfortunately, offers limited direct insight into the very nexus of LPG utilization in the Maldives and the beguiling oscillations of the World Series game count. With this gap in mind, it is worth turning to literature and media that, while not conventionally academic, may offer tangential perspectives or unsuspected parallels to our subject matter.
In the vein of non-fiction works, "Propane Prosperity: A Practical Guide to LPG Applications" by Practical Propane Publications offers an engaging look at the multifaceted uses of LPG, though its narrative leaves much to be desired in terms of baseball banter. Additionally, "Baseball, Bats, and Beyond: Sports’ Oscillating Oddities" by Sports Statistician Society presents a fascinating exploration of the statistical oddities within the realm of sports, providing a glimpse into the potential idiosyncrasies we may encounter in our study.
Venturing into the realm of fiction, "The Propane Pitch: A Tale of Gaslighting in Maldives" by Fictional Fuel Fanatics weaves a fantastical story of intrigue, romance, and, perhaps most surprisingly, propane-induced comedy on the sandy shores of the Maldives. While purely imaginative, the book's narrative may provide unexpected inspiration for understanding the playful interplay of LPG and the World Series.
On a more contemporary note, social media platforms have also offered intriguing glimpses into the interwoven tapestry of LPG and the World Series. A tweet from @GasGuru95 humorously speculated, "Could the crack of a baseball bat be the secret trigger for LPG production in the Maldives? #BatterUpGasUp" While not a scholarly contribution, this tweet exemplifies the lighthearted conjectures that our research aims to explore.
In sum, the literature, both scholarly and otherwise, sets the stage for our foray into uncovering the playful and confounding correlation between LPG consumption in the Maldives and the perplexing fluctuations in the number of games in the World Series. As we navigate this uncharted territory, we must embrace the unexpected sources of insight and humor that may shine a light on the whimsical dance of energy and athletic excitement.
[[RESULTS]]
The results of our investigation into the relationship between Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumption in the Maldives and the number of games in the World Series are, quite frankly, a home run in the wacky world of unexpected correlations. Our statistical analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.7192618, an r-squared value of 0.5173375, and a p-value of less than 0.01. In simpler terms, it's as if the gentle flicker of a propane flame in the Maldives is orchestrating a whimsical dance with the unpredictable game count of the World Series.
Here’s the twist – this correlation isn’t just a statistical blip. No, it's sturdy enough to make even the most seasoned baseball analyst do a double-take. Picture this: like the synchronized movements of a well-practiced dance duo, LPG consumption in the serene Maldives seems to be foxtrotting in perfect harmony with the merry jig of the World Series games.

However, as we shall soon reveal, the fabric of reality weaves a pattern that even the most astute observer may find delightfully confounding.
Our methodology, in line with scholarly rigor and a healthy dose of whimsy, relied on data procured from the Energy Information Administration for LPG consumption and the illustrious fount of knowledge, Wikipedia, for the World Series schedule. As we dug into the numbers and performed statistical gymnastics that would make Pythagoras blush, the results unfurled before us like the unfurling of a baseball pennant - a correlation coefficient of 0.7192618, coupled with a p-value so diminutive it could fit snugly inside a baseball glove. Astonishingly, our observations spanned the years 2004 to 2021, revealing a dance between LPG usage in the Maldives and the whimsical fluctuations in the number of games in the World Series.
The ramifications of our findings extend beyond the mere statistical whimsy, for they beckon us to contemplate the interconnectedness of the seemingly unrelated. The gentle ebb and flow of LPG consumption on a tranquil, sun-kissed atoll appears to be in cahoots with the capricious game count of America's favorite pastime. Indeed, if there is a cosmic ballet at play, it has chosen an unlikely stage upon which to pirouette - reinforcing the notion that the universe loves a good jest at the expense of predictability.

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 = 0.5173375 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 51.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of games in the World Series) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Liquefied petroleum gas used in Maldives) over the 18 years from 2004 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00077. 0.0007673623440188686000000000
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 0.72 in 0.077% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,303 random variables Which I absolutely did.
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.
[ 0.38, 0.89 ] 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.

You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.
For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."
When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.

- High resolution line chart
The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
