[[INTRODUCTION]]
Gouda morning, esteemed colleagues and fellow enthusiasts of the eccentric and the extraordinary! Today, we embark on a mouthwatering expedition into the uncharted territories of cheese consumption and nuclear power generation. While some may consider this a provolone pursuit, we are unapologetically cheddar-ing ahead to unravel the enigmatic connection between these seemingly unrelated factors.
In our stomach-churning quest for knowledge, we are often reminded of the timeless wisdom of physicist Marie Curie, who famously quipped, "One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be cheese." Embracing this spirit of scientific inquiry, we have set out to uncover how the unassuming American cheese – known for its melty goodness and its uncanny ability to defy expiration dates – could possibly mingle with the formidable force of nuclear power on the other side of the globe.
Amidst the queso-fication of our research goals, we acknowledge that the intersection of cheese and nuclear energy may initially appear more hole-y than holy. However, as the saying goes, "Where there's a wedge, there’s a whey," and so we press on to explore the cordon bleu connections that have surfaced in our data.
Now, before we delve into our feta-stinating findings, let us acknowledge the magnitude of this undertaking. The notion of linking American cheese consumption to nuclear power in China may seem as preposterous as mistaking a mozzarella stick for a fuel rod. Yet, the serendipitous discovery of a coefficient of 0.9472796 and a p-value of less than 0.01 has left us feeling more grate-ful than ever for the unpredictability of scientific exploration.
With that gouda feeling of anticipation, let us embark on this quirk-filled journey into the boundless realms of cheese and nuclear energy, as we unravel the dairy-tales and varie-gated ventures that have brought us to this curd-ious juncture. Get ready to brie amazed as we consider the cheesusly unexpected implications of our findings and celebrate the un-brie-lievable ways in which the power of cheese may permeate even the most nuclear of domains.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In their seminal work, Smith and Doe (2015) explored the intricate relationship between dairy consumption and energy production, laying the foundation for our current investigation. Their study, "Milk, Moo-la, and Megawatts," initiated a thought-provoking discourse on the potential impact of cheese derivatives on the global energy landscape. Drawing parallels between the creaminess of melted American cheese and the intense heat of nuclear fission, the authors propose a paradigm-shifting hypothesis that has continued to ferment in the academic community.
Similarly, Jones (2018) delved into the economics of dairy exportation and its role in international energy trade in his publication "Cheese Exports and Power Imports: A Gouda Analysis." By examining the patterns of American cheese exports to China alongside nuclear energy imports, Jones highlighted startling correlations that piqued our curiosity and left us feeling oddly fondue of further exploration.
Venturing into the realm of non-fiction, it is impossible to overlook the works of renowned economists and energy experts. "The Economics of Cheese: From Cheddar to Cheddar" by Dairy and Cheese (2017) provides valuable insights into the economic forces shaping the global cheese market and its potential implications for various industries, including energy production. On a lighter note, "The Curious Case of Cheese and Energy" by Milk and Watts (2019) presents a whimsical yet thought-provoking analysis of the interplay between dairy products and power generation, offering a fresh perspective on the subject matter.
Turning to the world of fiction, A Song of Ice and Fondue by George R.R. Martin (2017) presents a tantalizing allegory of power struggles and cheesy intrigue, offering indirect but unexpectedly relevant commentary on the dynamics of energy generation. Furthermore, in the dystopian novel Cheese Games by Suzanne Collins (2013), the narrative unfolds in a world where the control of cheese resources is inextricably linked to the dominant sources of power, serving as a metaphor for the complexities of geopolitical energy dynamics.
Adding a touch of nostalgia and whimsy, animated series such as "The Adventures of Dairyman and Fissionator" and "Curd Neutron: Power Cheese" have long captivated audiences with their fantastical tales of dairy-fueled energy exploits and comical cheese-induced mishaps. These popular shows, while aimed at a younger demographic, undoubtedly offer valuable insights into the cultural representations of cheese and nuclear power, reminding us that even the most serious subjects can be approached with a lighthearted sense of curiosity.
In the following sections, we build upon these foundations, navigating through the scholarly landscape as we unmask the curiously intertwined dimensions of American cheese consumption and nuclear power generation in China. Through this whimsical lens, we aim to shed light on the intriguing nexus of dairy and decibels, embracing the joy of unexpected discovery in our scholarly pursuits.

The Power of Cheesy Energy: An Examination of the Link between American Cheese Consumption and Nuclear Power Generation in China
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this whimsical exploration of seemingly unrelated variables, we investigate the bizarre but intriguing connection between American cheese consumption and nuclear power generation in China. Drawing upon data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Energy Information Administration, we unveil the surprising correlation between the two, unearthing a coefficient of 0.9472796 and a significant p-value of less than 0.01 from 1992 to 2021. Our inquiry into this juxtaposition of cheese and nuclear energy yields amusing insights into the potentially cheesy motivations behind China's nuclear power advancements and the curd-ious influence of American dairy on global energy trends. This research serves as a lighthearted reminder that scientific inquiry can often lead to unexpected and, in this case, deliciously cheesy discoveries.
[[INTRDUCTION]]
Gouda morning, esteemed colleagues and fellow enthusiasts of the eccentric and the extraordinary! Today, we embark on a mouthwatering expedition into the uncharted territories of cheese consumption and nuclear power generation. While some may consider this a provolone pursuit, we are unapologetically cheddar-ing ahead to unravel the enigmatic connection between these seemingly unrelated factors.
In our stomach-churning quest for knowledge, we are often reminded of the timeless wisdom of physicist Marie Curie, who famously quipped, "One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be cheese." Embracing this spirit of scientific inquiry, we have set out to uncover how the unassuming American cheese – known for its melty goodness and its uncanny ability to defy expiration dates – could possibly mingle with the formidable force of nuclear power on the other side of the globe.
Amidst the queso-fication of our research goals, we acknowledge that the intersection of cheese and nuclear energy may initially appear more hole-y than holy. However, as the saying goes, "Where there's a wedge, there’s a whey," and so we press on to explore the cordon bleu connections that have surfaced in our data.
Now, before we delve into our feta-stinating findings, let us acknowledge the magnitude of this undertaking. The notion of linking American cheese consumption to nuclear power in China may seem as preposterous as mistaking a mozzarella stick for a fuel rod. Yet, the serendipitous discovery of a coefficient of 0.9472796 and a p-value of less than 0.01 has left us feeling more grate-ful than ever for the unpredictability of scientific exploration.
With that gouda feeling of anticipation, let us embark on this quirk-filled journey into the boundless realms of cheese and nuclear energy, as we unravel the dairy-tales and varie-gated ventures that have brought us to this curd-ious juncture. Get ready to brie amazed as we consider the cheesusly unexpected implications of our findings and celebrate the un-brie-lievable ways in which the power of cheese may permeate even the most nuclear of domains.
[[RESULTS]]
After meticulously combing through years of data and tasteful puns, our research uncovers a surprisingly robust correlation between American cheese consumption and nuclear power generation in China. The Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.9472796 indicates a close relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables, with an r-squared value of 0.8973386 suggesting that a whopping 89.73% of the variation in nuclear power generation can be explained by the consumption of American cheese. This cheesy association is further bolstered by a p-value of less than 0.01, reinforcing the statistical significance and dismissing any doubts about the gouda-ness of our findings.

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 = 0.8973386 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 89.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Nuclear power generation in China) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., American cheese consumption) over the 30 years from 1992 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.3E-15. 0.0000000000000022701993509245
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 2.3E-13% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 440,489,950,626,040 random variables You don't actually need 440 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 29 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 29 because we have two variables measured over a period of 30 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.
[ 0.89, 0.97 ] 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 25,153 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.
- 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. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
