From Biomass to Bargains: Exploring the Correlation Between Biomass Power Generation in Cambodia and Searches for 'Dollar Store Near Me'

[[ABSTRACT]]
Biomass power generation has become an increasingly important topic in the context of sustainable energy. Our study delves into a correlation that will make you exclaim, "What a-plantastic discovery!" We investigate the intriguing connection between Biomass power generated in Cambodia and the popularity of 'Dollar Store Near Me' searches on Google. Our research aims to shed light on the relationship between renewable energy and consumer behavior, offering insight into the whimsical ways of the modern world.

With a correlation coefficient that would make a statistician's heart flutter at 0.9683719 and a p-value of less than 0.01, the findings are as strong and robust as a sequoia tree. It's safe to say that we've unearthed a correlation as solid as a well-crafted oak chair. The time series analysis spanning from 2004 to 2021 reveals an unexpected harmony between biomass power and the hunt for budget bargains, prompting us to coin the term 'eco-friendly frugality.' It's as if the search for affordable goods has root-ified in the global consciousness alongside environmental sustainability efforts.

Our findings leave no room for doubt that there is a tangible, albeit bewildering, relationship between the two seemingly disparate variables, prompting us to advise policymakers and analysts to not bark up the wrong tree when considering the interconnectedness of renewable energy and consumer behavior. This study offers a ripe field for further research and a pond full of dad jokes waiting to be discovered.

And here is the introduction section that led to this literature review:
[[INTRODUCTION]]
Biomass power generation has emerged as a crucial component of the global effort to transition towards sustainable and renewable energy sources. The utilization of organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues, and animal waste to produce heat and electricity has gained traction in various regions, including Cambodia. As we embark on this journey to unravel the curious link between biomass power generation and the quest for affordable household items, one might quip, "Looks like there's more to this wood-erful energy source than meets the eye."
The correlation between the renewable energy sector and consumer behavior is often overshadowed by the more traditional economic indicators. However, our study seeks to shine a light on this unconventional relationship, akin to finding a hidden treasure trove in the midst of statistical analysis. It's as if the data were saying, "Wood you believe it?"
The unconventional nature of our investigation mirrors the unexpected pairings one might find in a dollar store – like duct tape and creativity or shoelaces and spaghetti. In this spirit of exploration, we set out to uncover whether there is indeed a meaningful association between the amount of biomass power generated in Cambodia and the frequency of Google searches for 'Dollar Store Near Me.' It's a quest as quizzical as looking for discounted items made from wood chips.
Our research aims to offer a whimsical peek into the synergy between sustainability efforts and cost-conscious consumer behavior. It's akin to finding a diamond in the rough – or in this case, perhaps, a recyclable plastic gem amid the bins of dollar store treasures. Our findings, much like a well-crafted knock-knock joke, are both surprising and thought-provoking, inviting further investigation into the interplay of environmental initiatives and purchasing patterns.
As we delve into the intertwining domains of renewable energy and consumer preferences, we are reminded of the wise words of a penny-pinching scientist: "If you wood, you should explore unexpected correlations with humoress enthusiasm." With this in mind, we present our findings with the hope of not only expanding the scholarly discourse but also provoking a chuckle or two along the way.

Correlation r = 0.9683719 (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 = 0.9377441 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'dollar store near me') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Biomass power generated in Cambodia) over the 18 years from 2004 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.6E-11.^Show 0.0000000000455944420049674700
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme.^Note 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 0.97 in 4.6E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 21,932,497,823 random variables^Note You don't actually need 21 billion 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, ^Note 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.

[ 0.92, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
^{Read more about the confidence interval} 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: ^Note 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^Note 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^Note 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.
