[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The authors find that the relationship between the number of fiberglass laminators and fabricators in California and Nokia Oyj's stock price is a topic that has surprisingly received scant attention in the existing literature. Smith and Doe (2015) offered a detailed exploration of the fiberglass industry in their seminal work, "Fiberglass Fabrication: A Comprehensive Analysis," although the implications for stock prices were not directly addressed. Jones (2018) delved into the complexities of stock price determinants in "Market Dynamics and Investor Behavior," offering a broad perspective on inter-industry relationships, yet falling short of specifically examining the intersection of fiberglass and telecommunications.

Turning to more general studies, "The Economics of Innovation in Telecommunications" by Johnson (2020) provides a broad overview of the dynamics shaping the telecommunications industry, albeit with no mention of fiberglass whatsoever. Similarly, "The Art of Molding: A History of Fiberglass in Modern Manufacturing" by Garcia (2017) offers a comprehensive account of fiberglass fabrication techniques but fails to draw any connection to stock prices or financial markets.

Outside the confines of traditional academic literature, a number of non-fiction works have indirectly touched on elements of our peculiar topic. "The Fiberglass Phenomenon: A Visual Guide to Modern Materials" by Patel (2019) and "Nokia Nostalgia: An Illustrated History" by Thompson (2016) tangentially touch our domains of interest, offering intricate details about the materials and the telecommunications company, respectively.

In the realms of fiction, "The Fiberglass Conundrum: A Thriller Novel" by Black (2018) and "Telecom Tales: Adventures in the Digital Wilderness" by White (2015) seem, at least by their titles, to have some relevance to our study, although a thorough perusal does raise some doubts.

In a rather unorthodox approach to literature review, we also examined an assortment of unrelated materials, including fortune cookies, grocery lists, and even a candid exploration of the metaphysical implications of reading CVS receipts. While yielding no direct insights, we do assert that this diverse exploration has imbued us with unexpected wisdom, and a series of rather fantastic cookie-based stock market predictors.

In the realms of fiction, "The Fiberglass Conundrum: A Thriller Novel" by Black (2018) and "Telecom Tales: Adventures in the Digital Wilderness" by White (2015) seem, at least by their titles, to have some relevance to our study, although a thorough perusal does raise some doubts.
In a rather unorthodox approach to literature review, we also examined an assortment of unrelated materials, including fortune cookies, grocery lists, and even a candid exploration of the metaphysical implications of reading CVS receipts. While yielding no direct insights, we do assert that this diverse exploration has imbued us with unexpected wisdom, and a series of rather fantastic cookie-based stock market predictors.

Correlation r = 0.9377498 (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 = 0.8793746 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Nokia Oyj's stock price (NOK)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of fiberglass laminators and fabricators in California) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.06E-9. 0.0000000010621890540416896000
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 0.94 in 1.06E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 941,451,991 random variables You don't actually need 941 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 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.

[ 0.85, 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.
