[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The first systematic exploration of the relationship between biomass power generation in Turkiye and the sales of LP and vinyl albums came from the groundbreaking work of Smith et al. (2015). Their study, "Biomass Energy in Turkiye: A Sustainable Outlook," laid the foundation for understanding the energy landscape in Turkiye, emphasizing the increasing prominence of biomass power as a renewable energy source. While Smith et al. primarily focused on the ecological and economic dimensions of biomass energy, their work inadvertently set the stage for our curious foray into the intersecting domains of music and renewable resources.

Building on this empirical groundwork, Doe's extensive analysis in "Vinyl Revival: The Resurgence of Analog Sound" offered compelling insights into the resurgence of vinyl records in the digital age. Doe eloquently dissected the cultural and consumer behavioral shifts that fueled the vinyl revival, but little did the esteemed author realize that Doe's work would be spun into the whirlwind of our peculiar investigation.

However, as we ventured deeper into the labyrinth of scholarly literature, we stumbled across a rather unexpected source, Jones' "The Harmonic Universe: Exploring Connections in Unlikely Places." While Jones' work examines broader patterns of unexpected correlations, never did the author fathom that their hypothetical musings would find resonance in the peculiar relationship between biomass power and vinyl sales. It's almost as if the cosmic forces of synchronicity were conspiring to guide our research towards this unlikely melody of scientific exploration.

Straying ever so slightly into the realm of unconventional sources, we glance at the fictitious yet eerily relevant titles that may hold some distant resonance with our topic. "The Power of Vinyl: A Biomass Odyssey" by J.K. Rolling Records and "Watt's New, Vinyl? A Biomass Adventure" by E. L. Grinder beckon us into the realm of speculative fiction that mirrors the whimsical twists of our real-world inquiry. It's a reminder that truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction, especially when it's set to a catchy beat.

Turning our gaze to the small screen, we found solace in the utterly unrelated and yet oddly harmonious TV shows that seemed to encapsulate the eclectic spirit of our exploration. "Power Dynamics: The Biomass Conspiracy" and "Vinyl Vibrations: A Melodic Mystery" might not directly relate to our study, but their titles certainly added a touch of dramatic flair to our research journey. It's as if the tides of fate were orchestrating our scholarly pursuit with a mischievous wink and a nod.

In surfacing these seemingly disparate sources, we find ourselves at the intersection of thoughtful inquiry and whimsical wonder. As we delve into the pulsating realms of biomass power and vinyl sales, we are reminded that the cadence of scholarly exploration can entwine with the rhythm of amusement, sparking unexpected connections that resonate with both intellect and imagination. So, with a nod to the scholars and a wink to the serendipity that guides our investigation, we proceed into the curious depths of biomass power's catchy tunes and the vinyls that spin their enigmatic tale.

Ah yes, the scholarly pursuit of eco-musicological amusement continues.

Correlation r = 0.9765520 (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 = 0.9536538 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 95.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Sales of LP/Vinyl Albums) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Biomass power generated in Turkiye) over the 29 years from 1993 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.5E-19. 0.0000000000000000001524091484
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 0.98 in 1.5E-17% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 6,561,285,923,437,388,800 random variables You don't actually need 6 quintillion 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 28 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 28 because we have two variables measured over a period of 29 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.

[ 0.95, 0.99 ] 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.
  4. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.
