AI explanation
As air pollution in Gettysburg decreased, it created a ripple effect in the global atmospheric conditions. This, in turn, led to a shift in the kerosene-utilization patterns in Peru. The cleaner air in Gettysburg somehow communicated a message to the kerosene users in Peru, prompting them to re-evaluate their fuel choices. It's almost as if Mother Nature said, "Hey, if Gettysburg can clean up its act, so can you, Peru!" The interconnectedness of environmental positivity worked its magic, ultimately contributing to a reduction in kerosene usage in Peru. It's like a whimsical game of environmental dominoes, where a breath of fresh air in one part of the world wafts its way to influence fuel decisions in another!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Prior research on air pollution in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania has primarily focused on the impact of industrial emissions and vehicular traffic. Smith et al. (2015) found that particulate matter concentrations in the region exceeded national air quality standards, raising concerns about respiratory health. On the other hand, Doe and Jones (2018) investigated the influence of historical reenactments on air quality, positing that cannon smoke may contribute to pollution levels.
In "Air Quality and You," the authors discuss the impact of local environmental factors on air pollution levels and emphasize the significance of community engagement in addressing such issues. Taking a lighthearted approach, the book humorously suggests that if air pollution had a scent, it would likely be called "Eau de Respiratory Distress."
Turning our attention to kerosene usage in Peru, "The Energy Dilemma" provides insights into the societal and environmental implications of traditional fuel sources in developing countries. The authors highlight the challenge of transitioning to cleaner energy alternatives while acknowledging the entrenched cultural practices related to kerosene use. This echoes the sentiment that changing ingrained behaviors is often "no easy burn," as the proverbial kerosene lamp stays lit.
In a striking departure from academic literature, the fictional work "Kerosene Chronicles" weaves a tale of intrigue and mystery set against the backdrop of a small Peruvian village. While not a scientific discourse, the novel's depiction of kerosene's pervasive presence offers a whimsical perspective on the very substance we seek to understand.
With a touch of serendipity, our exploration also drew inspiration from the board game "Polluted Pathways," where players navigate interconnected environmental hazards, including air pollution and kerosene fumes. Much like our research, the game underscores the idea that seemingly unrelated elements may converge in unsuspecting ways – leaving players and researchers alike in a state of perplexed amusement.
As we unravel the puzzling connection between air pollution in Gettysburg and kerosene usage in Peru, it is essential to approach the topic with humility and an appreciation for the unexpected. After all, as the saying goes, "When in doubt, let the data be your guiding light – just don't confuse it with kerosene!"

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Prior research on air pollution in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania has primarily focused on the impact of industrial emissions and vehicular traffic. Smith et al. (2015) found that particulate matter concentrations in the region exceeded national air quality standards, raising concerns about respiratory health. On the other hand, Doe and Jones (2018) investigated the influence of historical reenactments on air quality, positing that cannon smoke may contribute to pollution levels.
In "Air Quality and You," the authors discuss the impact of local environmental factors on air pollution levels and emphasize the significance of community engagement in addressing such issues. Taking a lighthearted approach, the book humorously suggests that if air pollution had a scent, it would likely be called "Eau de Respiratory Distress."
Turning our attention to kerosene usage in Peru, "The Energy Dilemma" provides insights into the societal and environmental implications of traditional fuel sources in developing countries. The authors highlight the challenge of transitioning to cleaner energy alternatives while acknowledging the entrenched cultural practices related to kerosene use. This echoes the sentiment that changing ingrained behaviors is often "no easy burn," as the proverbial kerosene lamp stays lit.
In a striking departure from academic literature, the fictional work "Kerosene Chronicles" weaves a tale of intrigue and mystery set against the backdrop of a small Peruvian village. While not a scientific discourse, the novel's depiction of kerosene's pervasive presence offers a whimsical perspective on the very substance we seek to understand.
With a touch of serendipity, our exploration also drew inspiration from the board game "Polluted Pathways," where players navigate interconnected environmental hazards, including air pollution and kerosene fumes. Much like our research, the game underscores the idea that seemingly unrelated elements may converge in unsuspecting ways – leaving players and researchers alike in a state of perplexed amusement.
As we unravel the puzzling connection between air pollution in Gettysburg and kerosene usage in Peru, it is essential to approach the topic with humility and an appreciation for the unexpected. After all, as the saying goes, "When in doubt, let the data be your guiding light – just don't confuse it with kerosene!"

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 = 0.6463147 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 64.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Kerosene used in Peru) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.0E-8. 0.0000000299669223790339440000
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 0.8 in 3.0E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 33,370,127 random variables You don't actually need 33 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 31 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 31 because we have two variables measured over a period of 32 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.
[ 0.63, 0.9 ] 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
- Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
- 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. - 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.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."
When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.

Download images for these variables:
- High resolution line chart
The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
