ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unravel the enigmatic connection between solar power generation in Kazakhstan and Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy,' our research team employed a multifaceted approach that combined quantitative analysis, data manipulation, and a touch of whimsy. The first step involved sourcing data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) regarding solar power generation in Kazakhstan. This data was carefully scrutinized with as much attention to detail as a solar panel tracking the sun across the sky.

In tandem with the EIA data, we harnessed the power of Google Trends to extract and analyze the frequency of searches for 'I Am Dizzy' from 2012 to 2021. This was not just a run-of-the-mill search; it involved navigating the vast online expanse and maneuvering through digital data as deftly as a solar-powered rover on an alien landscape.

After the data gathering phase, we navigated into the statistical underworld, utilizing time series analysis conjured from the depths of MATLAB. This involved modeling the solar power generation as an exogenous variable and the Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy' as the endogenous variable. The statistical analysis was conducted with the precision of aligning solar panels to capture the most sunlight, revealing a correlation that shone as brightly as a clear day in the Kazakhstani steppe.

Moreover, a Granger causality test was employed to explore the temporal relationships between solar power generation and 'I Am Dizzy' searches, seeking to illuminate any causal links between the two seemingly disparate phenomena. This process was navigated with the same precision as a solar-powered satellite mapping out its trajectory through the cosmos.

Each step in the process was undertaken with the rigor and determination of a solar-powered car steadfastly making its way across the desert. And if our findings are any indication, it seems that solar power in Kazakhstan has more than a few "dizzying" effects – both literally and figuratively!

It's as if the sun is reaching out to touch the digital realm, creating a connection that is both electrifying and, dare we say, "dizzying" in its implications.
In "Doe et al.," a study on solar power utilization and unexpected online queries found that solar power generation may have a more profound influence on internet behavior than previously thought. This unforeseen relationship between renewable energy and digital queries piqued our interest and led us to investigate the specific correlation between solar power generation in Kazakhstan and the frequency of Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy.' The results of this inquiry promise to be as enlightening as a solar-powered light bulb - and just as illuminating!
Moving beyond the realm of academic literature, our investigation draws inspiration from non-fiction works such as "The Solar Economy" and "The Power of Renewables," instilling in us a sense of enthusiasm for renewable energy potential. On the fictitious side, the captivating narratives of "Solaris" and "The Sun Also Rises" offer a creative lens through which we may envision the intersecting worlds of solar energy and digital queries.
A perusal of popular culture has also provided valuable insight, with TV shows like "The Big Bang Theory" and "Black Mirror" offering glimpses into the technologically intertwined universe that provides context for our inquiry. Who would have thought that solar power and digital queries would form such an "electrifying" duo? We certainly didn't see it coming, but here we are, ready to shine a light on the unexpected connections that emerge from our analysis.

[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the data collected revealed a remarkably strong correlation between solar power generation in Kazakhstan and Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy.' The correlation coefficient of 0.9886470 and an r-squared value of 0.9774229 indicated a robust relationship between these two variables. It's safe to say that the connection between solar power and feeling "dizzy" is not merely a flight of fancy.
Our findings support the notion that as solar power generation in Kazakhstan experienced fluctuations over the years, there was a corresponding pattern in the frequency of Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy.' The relationship displayed in our data suggests an intriguing interplay between renewable energy production and online search behavior. It's almost as if the sun's rays were casting a dizzying spell on internet users, or perhaps leaving them "solar-flared"!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to grow, the exploration of solar power generation has become increasingly vital. The potential for harnessing solar energy in regions with ample sunlight, such as Kazakhstan, has garnered significant attention from both policymakers and researchers. In parallel, the rise of internet search queries has provided a rich source of data for exploring human behavior, often yielding surprising insights that may not be immediately obvious. Together, these two seemingly disparate domains form the foundation for our investigation into the intriguing correlation between solar power generation in Kazakhstan and the frequency of Google searches for 'I Am Dizzy.'
In the realm of renewable energy, Kazakhstan has emerged as a key player, tapping into its abundant solar resources to propel the nation's renewable energy initiatives. This has led to an increase in the capacity for solar power generation, positioning Kazakhstan as a notable contributor to the global solar energy landscape. It's no wonder that the country has been "shining" in the renewable energy sector – pardon the solar pun.
Turning our attention to the world of online search behavior, the query 'I Am Dizzy' presents an unexpected twist in our investigation. At first glance, one might wonder: What could dizziness possibly have to do with solar power generation in Kazakhstan? The unexpected linkage between these two factors has certainly given us some "dizzying" moments, both metaphorically and, perhaps, statistically.
As we delve into the fascinating realm of data analysis, the intent of this research is not merely to establish a causal relationship between solar power generation and dizzy-related inquiries but to illuminate the unanticipated connections that may emerge when probing seemingly unrelated variables. After all, who would have guessed that solar power generation and online queries could share such an "en-light-ening" relationship?

Correlation r = 0.9886470 (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 = 0.9774229 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i am dizzy') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in Kazakhstan) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.2E-8. 0.0000000716948487341422000000
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 0.99 in 7.2E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 13,948,003 random variables You don't actually need 13 million 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 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.

[ 0.95, 1 ] 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. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
