[[INTRODUCTION]]

The pursuit of knowledge often leads researchers to investigate connections that may seem unusual at first glance. In the realm of public health, the relationship between alcohol consumption and headaches has long been a point of interest. However, our study delves into a rather unconventional angle by examining the potential link between the number of breweries in the United States and Google searches for 'I have a headache.' It's a head-scratching yet exhilarating endeavor.

As researchers, we often find ourselves caught in the wort of unexpected correlations and statistical surprises. The relationship between breweries and headache-related internet searches certainly falls into this category, as we navigate through the frothy sea of data and statistical analyses. It's like trying to find the perfect balance between ales and ails!

While some might consider this association to be purely coincidental, our findings suggest otherwise. With a correlation coefficient that practically jumps off the chart and a p-value that will make even the most ardent statistician raise a glass, it's clear that there's more to this relationship than meets the eye. We're not just talking about a mere ale-gation here.

It's important to highlight that our study does not imply causation, but rather highlights the intriguing concurrence of factors. Investigating this peculiar marriage of brewery numbers and headache-related queries is not just a flight of fancy but holds potential implications for public health and consumer behavior. It's a journey through the landscapes of statistics and suds, where the barrels of data never seem to run dry.

And now, for a fitting dad joke: Why did the barley refuse to forecast the weather? It didn't want to make any hasty grains! It's a good reminder that a little levity can make even the most ale-gorithmic research more enjoyable.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Numerous studies have explored the relationship between alcohol consumption and its potential impact on headache prevalence. Smith and colleagues (2015) found a positive correlation between alcohol intake and reported headaches in their survey-based analysis. Doe and Smith (2019) corroborated these findings in a longitudinal study, highlighting the complex interplay between alcohol consumption patterns and headache occurrences. However, our investigation takes a refreshing approach by examining the association between the burgeoning number of breweries in the United States and Google searches for 'I have a headache.'

In "Brewing Health: A Comprehensive Analysis," Jones et al. (2018) discussed the potential public health implications of the craft beer industry's expansion. They emphasized the need for further research to elucidate the multifaceted effects of this growing trend. Our study directly responds to this call by shedding light on the curious correlation between brewery proliferation and headache-related online activity.

Transitioning from the realm of non-fiction publications to its fictional counterparts, Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" introduces the enigmatic concept of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, a concoction renowned for its potent effects. While purely speculative, the whimsical nature of this literary creation evokes the spirit of our investigation into the potential impact of brewery expansion on headache-related queries.

Drawing inspiration from the world of internet culture, the meme "This is Fine" encapsulates the momentous realization that one's surroundings are engulfed in flames – a sentiment that may resonate with individuals experiencing headaches amidst a beer-filled landscape. Furthermore, the image macro featuring the phrase "Keep Calm and Carry On" humorously resonates with the fluctuating state of composure amidst the potential conundrum of head discomfort and ale consumption.

Returning to more tangible literary works, Hosking's "Craft Beer and the Language of Hops" provides a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic facets of the craft beer phenomenon. While not directly related to headaches, the intricate web of terminology surrounding brewing culture demonstrates the depth of this field – something that parallels the profound connections we aim to unveil in our investigation.

As we immerse ourselves in the frothy depths of statistical inquiry, it's important to maintain a sense of humor. Much like a well-crafted ale, research can be both serious and delightfully playful. In the spirit of this sentiment, here's a punny dad joke: Did you hear about the brewery that specializes in crafting hop-forward beers? Their business is really hopping!

[[METHODOLOGY]]



ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To concoct our study, we first fermented the data from the Brewers Association to obtain the annual count of breweries in the United States. We tapped into this rich source of information to capture the effervescent growth of the craft beer industry over the years. It was a hoppy task, but we couldn't turn a cider eye towards such vital data!

After brewing up the brewery numbers, we hopped over to Google Trends to collect data on the relative search interest for the phrase 'I have a headache.' This allowed us to gauge the digital murmurs of the population as they sought remedies for their cranial conundrums. We certainly felt the gravitational pull of this tidal wave of search queries, as if we were caught in the foamy froth of a statistical sea!

Following the data collection phase, we conducted some malt-ivariate analyses to identify patterns and trends in the dataset. Our beer... I mean, our clear techniques and thorough procedures allowed us to ferment a robust statistical model that separated the wheat from the chaff, or should I say, the hops from the barley.

We employed a time series approach to carefully examine the temporal dynamics of both the brewery counts and the volume of headache-related searches. It was like watching the bubbles rise in a freshly poured pint of ale – mesmerizing and full of potential. By analyzing the data over an 18-year period, we were able to capture the ebbs and flows of these variables with the precision of a skilled brewmaster monitoring the fermentation process.

Utilizing a sound statistical approach, we then poured over the data to calculate a correlation coefficient to quantify the relationship between brewery counts and headache-related searches. It was like measuring the harmonious balance of malt and hops in a finely crafted beer—an art and a science intertwined in a delightful blend.

To ensure the robustness of our findings, we subjected our analyses to rigorous testing and validation procedures. We didn't want our results to fizzle out like a poorly carbonated brew. After all, science is all about precision and replication, just like the meticulous brewing process that transforms raw ingredients into a delightful libation.

In the spirit of precision, here's a timely dad joke: Why did the statistician go to the beach? To test the waters! Much like our own rigorous testing procedures, a little statistical humor can go a long way in keeping the mood light and the results significant.

[[RESULTS]]

The analysis of the data collected from the Brewers Association and Google Trends unearthed a noteworthy correlation between the number of breweries in the United States and the frequency of Google searches for 'I have a headache.' The correlation coefficient of 0.9485077 indicates a remarkably strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. In other words, as the number of breweries increased over the years, so did the frequency of headache-related queries. It's as if the proliferation of breweries is causing a cascade of virtual "ouchies" across the internet.

This significant correlation paves the way for intriguing interpretations. While some may be tempted to dismiss this relationship as mere coincidence, the robustness of the findings, with an r-squared of 0.8996668 and p < 0.01, suggests otherwise. The evidence stoutly supports the notion that there is more to this connection than meets the eye. It's no small ale-gation that the craft beer industry may have an impact beyond just the brewing process.

As we graphically illustrate in Fig. 1, the scatterplot presents a striking visual representation of the positive association between the number of breweries and headache-related Google searches. The upward trend in the data points is as clear as a perfectly poured pint of ale. It's safe to say that this relationship is not just a frothy coincidence but a statistically compelling phenomenon that warrants further investigation.

Now, for a well-deserved interjection of humor: What did the craft beer say to the hops? Keep it hoppenin'! After all, a little levity is like a refreshing beer on a hot summer day – it just makes everything better.

Furthermore, the image macro featuring the phrase "Keep Calm and Carry On" humorously resonates with the fluctuating state of composure amidst the potential conundrum of head discomfort and ale consumption.
Returning to more tangible literary works, Hosking's "Craft Beer and the Language of Hops" provides a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic facets of the craft beer phenomenon. While not directly related to headaches, the intricate web of terminology surrounding brewing culture demonstrates the depth of this field – something that parallels the profound connections we aim to unveil in our investigation.
As we immerse ourselves in the frothy depths of statistical inquiry, it's important to maintain a sense of humor. Much like a well-crafted ale, research can be both serious and delightfully playful. In the spirit of this sentiment, here's a punny dad joke: Did you hear about the brewery that specializes in crafting hop-forward beers? Their business is really hopping!

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data collected from the Brewers Association and Google Trends unearthed a noteworthy correlation between the number of breweries in the United States and the frequency of Google searches for 'I have a headache.' The correlation coefficient of 0.9485077 indicates a remarkably strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. In other words, as the number of breweries increased over the years, so did the frequency of headache-related queries. It's as if the proliferation of breweries is causing a cascade of virtual "ouchies" across the internet.
This significant correlation paves the way for intriguing interpretations. While some may be tempted to dismiss this relationship as mere coincidence, the robustness of the findings, with an r-squared of 0.8996668 and p < 0.01, suggests otherwise. The evidence stoutly supports the notion that there is more to this connection than meets the eye. It's no small ale-gation that the craft beer industry may have an impact beyond just the brewing process.
As we graphically illustrate in Fig. 1, the scatterplot presents a striking visual representation of the positive association between the number of breweries and headache-related Google searches. The upward trend in the data points is as clear as a perfectly poured pint of ale. It's safe to say that this relationship is not just a frothy coincidence but a statistically compelling phenomenon that warrants further investigation.
Now, for a well-deserved interjection of humor: What did the craft beer say to the hops? Keep it hoppenin'! After all, a little levity is like a refreshing beer on a hot summer day – it just makes everything better.

The results of our study have uncorked an intriguing correlation between the burgeoning number of breweries in the United States and the frequency of online searches for 'I have a headache.' This findings fizzes with implications for both public health and the craft beer industry. Our results add a fresh twist to the ongoing discussion about the potential impacts of the craft beer boom, but it also leaves us with foam to ponder: Are these headaches a result of excessive alcohol consumption or simply from people searching for the nearest brewpub to soothe their ales? The answer to this question is brewing with potential.

Our findings align with previous research that has highlighted the complex relationship between alcohol consumption and headache prevalence. The positive correlation we uncovered between the number of breweries and headache-related online activity complements the work of Smith and colleagues (2015) and Doe and Smith (2019), which emphasize the intricate interplay between alcohol intake patterns and headache occurrences. It's as if these studies were all pouring from the same statistical keg, showcasing the frothy nature of the relationship between alcohol and headaches.

In response to Jones et al. (2018), who discussed the potential public health implications of the craft beer industry's expansion, our study provides empirical evidence to support the notion that the proliferation of breweries may indeed have broader ramifications. The significant correlation coefficient and p-value in our analysis provide a strong foundation for the ale-gation that there is a connection between brewery proliferation and headache-related queries. It's as if our findings poured some statistical hops into the ongoing discourse about the impacts of the craft beer industry.

"Pour Decisions: The Ale-ged Relationship Between Breweries and Headaches"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this ale-gant study, we examine the potential connection between the number of breweries in the United States and Google searches for 'I have a headache.' Our research team utilized data from the Brewers Association and Google Trends to hop into this frothy topic.

Surprisingly, our analysis revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9485077 and p < 0.01 for the period spanning from 2004 to 2022. This pints to a strong association between the proliferation of breweries and the frequency of online searches related to headaches. It appears that as the number of breweries increases, so does the prevalence of headache-related queries on the internet.

This study adds depth to the ongoing debate about the potential impacts of the craft beer boom on public health. However, it also begs the question: Are these headaches the result of excessive alcohol consumption, or simply from people searching for the nearest brewpub to soothe their ales? This correlation certainly brews some contemplation.

In the spirit of this research, here's a sudsy dad joke: Why did the hop refuse to leave the brewery? It was a little too hoptimistic about its future prospects!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The pursuit of knowledge often leads researchers to investigate connections that may seem unusual at first glance. In the realm of public health, the relationship between alcohol consumption and headaches has long been a point of interest. However, our study delves into a rather unconventional angle by examining the potential link between the number of breweries in the United States and Google searches for 'I have a headache.' It's a head-scratching yet exhilarating endeavor.
As researchers, we often find ourselves caught in the wort of unexpected correlations and statistical surprises. The relationship between breweries and headache-related internet searches certainly falls into this category, as we navigate through the frothy sea of data and statistical analyses. It's like trying to find the perfect balance between ales and ails!
While some might consider this association to be purely coincidental, our findings suggest otherwise. With a correlation coefficient that practically jumps off the chart and a p-value that will make even the most ardent statistician raise a glass, it's clear that there's more to this relationship than meets the eye. We're not just talking about a mere ale-gation here.
It's important to highlight that our study does not imply causation, but rather highlights the intriguing concurrence of factors. Investigating this peculiar marriage of brewery numbers and headache-related queries is not just a flight of fancy but holds potential implications for public health and consumer behavior. It's a journey through the landscapes of statistics and suds, where the barrels of data never seem to run dry.
And now, for a fitting dad joke: Why did the barley refuse to forecast the weather? It didn't want to make any hasty grains! It's a good reminder that a little levity can make even the most ale-gorithmic research more enjoyable.

Correlation r = 0.9485077 (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 = 0.8996668 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i have a headache') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of Breweries in the United States) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.5E-10. 0.0000000006502112231000650000
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 0.95 in 6.5E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,537,961,765 random variables You don't actually need 1 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 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 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.

[ 0.87, 0.98 ] 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.
