AI explanation

As GMO corn production ramped up, it inadvertently led to a surge in cornstalk dance parties. These high-energy shindigs, fueled by the irresistibly catchy tunes of the cornstalk band "The Conductive Cobbers," generated enough kinetic energy to power the entire electricity grid of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It turns out, these GMO cornstalks were not just good for farming, but also for shucking and jiving their way to shocking electrical performances! The island's motto may as well be "One, a two, a one-two-corn!"

Today, we embark on a journey to uncover the shocking relationship between GMO corn and electricity generation in the idyllic island nations of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Get ready to be corn-vinced and amped up by the unexpected synergy between these two seemingly unrelated variables.

As we delve into the cornucopia of data and statistical analysis, we cannot help but marvel at the combination of natural elements and human ingenuity that has brought us to this point. It's no easy feat to navigate through the stalks of genetically modified maize and the currents of electrical power, but fear not, fellow researchers, for we are equipped with the tools of science, a sprinkle of wit, and perhaps a kernel of humor along the way.

The concept of GMOs has been a hot potato, or should I say hot corn, in the realm of agriculture. It's a topic that has sparked fierce debates among scientists, environmentalists, and popcorn enthusiasts alike. Some hail it as a revolutionary leap in crop improvement, while others approach it with a healthy dose of skepticism. Nevertheless, we are not here to debate the merits of genetically modified corn—we'll leave that ear-resistible discussion for another day.

Meanwhile, electricity generation in small island nations presents its own set of challenges. It's like walking a tightrope, juggling coconuts, and trying to keep the lights on all at once. The delicate balance of energy production and sustainability calls for innovative solutions, and that's where our research comes into play.

Our study, spanning the years from 2000 to 2021, takes a kernel-level look at the startling connection between GMO corn cultivation and the generation of electricity. We wielded the mighty sword of statistical analysis, unleashing correlation coefficients and p-values like fearless knights on a quest for empirical evidence. And what did we uncover, you ask? Well, let's just say it's enough to make you do a double take—imagine a stalk of corn doing the electric slide while powering up a dance floor of light bulbs. Yes, it's that mind-boggling!

So, buckle up and prepare to be shocked, amazed, and perhaps even slightly amused as we unravel the enigmatic bond between genetically modified corn and electrical power generation.

Correlation r = 0.9723100 (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 = 0.9453868 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Electricity generation in Saint Kitts and Nevis) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in corn) over the 22 years from 2000 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.3E-14. 0.0000000000000426614771512431
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 0.97 in 4.3E-12% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 23,440,351,032,732 random variables You don't actually need 23 trillion 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 21 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 21 because we have two variables measured over a period of 22 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.

[ 0.93, 0.99 ] 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.
