[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find that solar power generation in Mozambique has been steadily increasing over the past decade, aided by favorable climatic conditions and government initiatives to promote renewable energy sources. Furthermore, "Doe and Jones" discuss the growing importance of internet search trends as a barometer of cultural phenomena, highlighting the potential for analyzing online behaviors in relation to broader societal developments.

However, the connection between these two seemingly disparate subjects has yet to be explored in academic literature. As we venture into uncharted territory, we turn to "The Solar-Powered Century" by John Bright for insights into the evolution of solar energy and its impact on global energy markets. Similarly, "The Language of Memes" by Susan Wordplay provides a comprehensive exploration of internet culture and the emergence of popular phrases, albeit with less emphasis on solar-related memes.

Turning to fictional narratives, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, particularly "The Fellowship of the Solar Panel," offer allegorical perspectives on the quest for sustainable energy, albeit in Middle-earth rather than Mozambique. Likewise, in the satirical novel "Solar Power and Sus-tainability" by Lenny Punster, the protagonist embarks on a comedic journey to uncover the unexpected link between renewable energy and online memes - a lighthearted twist on our own scholarly pursuit.

In an unexpected turn of events, we encountered an unconventional source during our literature review process. While perusing an assortment of eclectic literature, including non-fiction books and scholarly articles, we stumbled upon a collection of CVS receipts inadvertently left in the library's photocopier. Although not a traditional source of academic insight, these receipts provided a wealth of data on purchases, rewards program points, and the occasional promotional coupon - a reminder that unexpected discoveries can emerge from the unlikeliest of sources, much like a surprise sale on solar-powered flashlights.

Correlation r = 0.9785151 (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 = 0.9574918 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 95.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'that is sus') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in Mozambique) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.08E-7.^Show 0.0000009083843859760893000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme.^Note 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 9.08E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,100,856 random variables^Note You don't actually need 1 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 9 degrees of freedom, ^Note Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.

[ 0.91, 1 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
^{Read more about the confidence interval} 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: ^Note 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^Note 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^Note 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.
