[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

To lay the groundwork for understanding the perplexing bond between biomass power in Austria and Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM), we delve into the annals of academia and beyond, where serious scholars and whimsical wanderers alike have sought to unravel the enigma that now lies before us.

Smith et al. (2010) astutely observed the potential synergy between renewable energy sources and financial markets, hinting at the hidden dance between nature's bounty and stock prices. Meanwhile, Doe and Jones (2015) examined the impact of alternative energy on the global economy, only to brush upon the edges of the interconnectedness we seek to unearth. These studies laid the groundwork but failed to fully capture the kaleidoscope of woody wonders and financial finagling that has piqued our curiosity.

Turning to the realm of non-fiction, "The Biomass Revolution: Modernize Your Energy, the Green Way" by William Brazelton and "Oil and Money: The Epic of Economic Power" by Thomas Petzinger Jr. beckon us to consider the gravitational pull that biomass power and oil money exert on the delicate balance of the financial universe. As we shift gears into the whimsical world of fiction, "The Woodcutters of Austrian Economics" by Ludwig von Mises and "The Stock Market Sorcerer" by J.K. Rowlling surprisingly offer insightful allegories and metaphors woven into their narratives that parallel the conundrum we face.

In a less conventional but equally enlightening manner, childhood cartoons and TV shows have surreptitiously hinted at the intertwining forces we now investigate. The animated antics of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" and the enigmatic insights of the "Magic School Bus" compellingly hint at the cosmic dance between environmental stewardship and financial flux. These seemingly innocuous productions slyly wove snippets of truth into their tales, leaving astute viewers with lingering questions about the clandestine connections we now dare to explore.

As we navigate the scholarly seas, it becomes evident that the fusion of serious academic endeavors and whimsical wanderings serves to illuminate the multifaceted nature of our pursuit. So, with a nod to the learned and a wink to the imaginative, we embark on this peculiar and thrilling odyssey through the wilds of biomass power and the stock market.

In the pursuit of unraveling the tangled web of biomass power and stock price dynamics, our research team embarked on a comical yet rigorous methodological quest. Armed with an inexhaustible supply of caffeine, an ocean of Excel spreadsheets, and a dash of statistical magic, we set out to collect and analyze data from the wild and wonderful world wide web.

Step 1: Data Gathering - Enter the Digital Jungle
We ventured into the depths of the internet, navigating through the virtual thickets of data sources that included the Energy Information Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv). Through cunning keyword searches and the occasional prayer to the WiFi gods, we meticulously assembled a treasure trove of biomass power generation figures in Austria and Exxon Mobil's stock price fluctuations from 2002 to 2021. It's worth noting that our data collection process resembled a thrilling expedition, with every mouse click akin to a jungle explorer hacking through dense vegetation.

Step 2: Cleaning and Preprocessing Data - Taming the Wild Data Beasts
With our data in hand, we encountered untamed outliers, missing values lurking in the shadows, and the occasional rogue formatting error. Channeling the spirit of data wranglers, we muzzled the unruly outliers, coaxed the missing values out of hiding, and herded the disparate data elements into a harmonious herd, all the while singing lullabies to our irascible Excel spreadsheets.

Step 3: Statistical Analysis - Unleashing the Statistical Menagerie
Armed with an arsenal of statistical tools, including correlation analysis and regression models, we summoned the data beasts to the arena of analysis. With a flick of the statistical whip, we prodded the numbers into revealing their secrets, all the while keeping a wary eye on the mischievous p-values cavorting in the background.

Step 4: Interpretation - Seeking the Elusive Insights
As the statistical dust settled, we found ourselves face-to-face with the wild and unexpected findings. We danced around the correlation coefficient like gleeful statistical troubadours, marveled at the significance of p-values as if they were rare gemstones, and pondered the deeper implications of our results as if divining the future from the patterns of tea leaves.

In this manner, our unorthodox yet methodologically sound approach allowed us to penetrate the heart of the biomass power - stock price nexus, armed with a hint of whimsy and a whole lot of statistical rigor. So, let the record show that our methodological expedition was not for the faint of heart, but for those brave souls who dauntlessly chase knowledge through the academic savannas.

Correlation r = 0.8326028 (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 = 0.6932274 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 69.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Biomass power generated in Austria) over the 20 years from 2002 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.2E-6. 0.0000052482255601075610000000
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 0.83 in 0.00052% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 190,541 random variables You don't actually need 190 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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.

[ 0.62, 0.93 ] 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.
