In "Smith et al. (2020)," the authors emphasize the significance of renewable energy sources in shaping corporate behavior, while "Doe and Jones (2018)" highlight the growing influence of sustainable practices on investor sentiment. However, these studies barely scratch the surface of the sunlit saga that unfolds when we turn our attention to the unlikely duo of solar energy and Microsoft's market dynamics.

Exploring the realms of non-fiction literature, "Solar Power: A Comprehensive Guide" by Luminous Bright presents a meticulous exploration of solar energy's potential impact on various industries, including the tech sector. Similarly, "The Market Maven's Handbook" by Finance Guru delves into the intricate relationship between environmental developments and stock performance, offering sage insights into the whims of market fluctuations. While these works provide crucial foundational knowledge, they fail to capture the whimsical dance of solar rays and stock prices that our study unfolds.

Venturing into the world of fiction, "Sunlit Might: A Novel of Techno-Financial Fusion" by Solaris Lumens and "The Stock Price Illumination" by Mark ItZap represent imaginative forays into the fantastical realms of solar-tinged market manipulations. While these works offer a delightful escape into speculative scenarios, our study endeavors to ground its findings firmly in empirical evidence, albeit tinged with a touch of whimsy.

Furthermore, observing the enigmatic interactions between solar power and market performance, the researchers diligently tuned into real-world portrayals in popular media. Captivated by the financial drama and technological intrigues, "Silicon Valley Sunsets" and "The Power Purchase Agreement Diaries" provided intriguing insights into the intersection of solar energy and corporate undertakings. While these shows might have veered into the realm of dramatic flair, they nonetheless inspired a newfound zeal for our exploration into the solar-powered mysteries lurking within the intricacies of stock market dynamics.

As our study advances, we tread the precarious path of substantiating statistical correlations while also relishing the whimsical undertones that weave through this captivating narrative. The upcoming sections of this paper will illuminate the interconnectedness of solar power in Malaysia and the market maneuvers of Microsoft, all while maintaining an unwavering dedication to empirical rigor—even amidst the sunshine-infused escapades that lie ahead.

Correlation r = 0.9805171 (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 = 0.9614138 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 96.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Microsoft's stock price (MSFT)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in Malaysia) over the 15 years from 2007 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.4E-10. 0.0000000001431590768187393500
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 0.98 in 1.4E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 6,985,236,439 random variables You don't actually need 6 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 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 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.

[ 0.94, 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.
