EYE-ronic Connections: The Correlation Between LockPickingLawyer's Video Titles and Optician Numbers in Montana

How often do we get to combine the serious business of optician employment trends with the lighthearted world of lock picking? Not often, but when we do, we can't help but see the pun-tential in the situation. It's not every day that a dad joke walks into a research paper, right?

In the wild and wonderful world of YouTube, where a myriad of content vies for our attention, the LockPickingLawyer has managed to carve out a niche with, shall we say, "key" content.

But who would have guessed that these clever titles might be linked to the demand for opticians in Montana? It seems that when it comes to drawing unexpected connections, even data analysis isn't immune to a good pun.

Employing a delightful combination of technological prowess and a keen eye for correlations, we set out to explore this curious relationship. Employing artificial intelligence analysis, we sifted through the treasure trove of LockPickingLawyer's video titles to discern patterns and humor that might hold the key to understanding the demand for eyecare professionals in the vast expanse of Big Sky Country. It turns out that the answer was right in front of our eyes - or should we say, "eye-deal."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics played an important role in this investigation, providing us with data on optician employment in Montana from 2015 to 2022. Combining this labor data with the jovial repertoire of LockPickingLawyer's video titles, we uncovered a striking correlation. With a coefficient close to perfect and a p-value that practically had us seeing stars, it became evident that there might be more to these seemingly unrelated phenomena than meets the eye.

In dissecting the wit behind LockPickingLawyer's titles, it seems we might have cracked a puzzle that goes beyond mere humor. While it's certainly amusing to imagine a connection between lock picking and opticians, our findings reveal the potential for uncovering unexpected correlations in the most unlikely places. So, as we delve into the depths of this study, keep an eye out for the humor and insight that lies within, and remember: when the going gets tough, the tough get unlocking.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The relationship between entertainment mediums and professional employment has been a topic of interest for researchers across various fields. Smith et al. (2018) examined the impact of viral social media content on occupational trends, while Doe and Jones (2020) investigated the influence of internet memes on career pathways. These studies have shed light on the potential connections between seemingly unrelated facets of popular culture and the labor market, but none have delved into the specific juxtaposition of lock picking and optician employment numbers quite like the present study. It's like fitting a key into a lock – the perfect match!

Moving beyond the realm of traditional research, our study draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of non-fiction literature. In "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the authors uncover surprising correlations that challenge conventional wisdom, much like the unanticipated relationship between YouTube video titles and optician demand. "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell provides insight into the power of rapid cognition and subconscious decision-making, mirroring the quick-witted nature of LockPickingLawyer's titles. And let's not overlook "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell, which explores the phenomenon of trends and how small changes can lead to dramatic shifts – a theme that resonates with our unexpected findings.

Shifting gears, we also draw inspiration from the world of fiction literature, where unexpected connections can spark imagination and possibility. In "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, the protagonist unravels cryptic clues leading to astonishing revelations, not unlike our journey through LockPickingLawyer's video titles in pursuit of correlations. Similarly, the intricate puzzle-solving in Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" parallels the detective work involved in uncovering the surprising link between lock picking and optician employment. And who can forget the humor and whimsy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, where the absurd and the ordinary collide – much like our study's playful exploration of unconventional connections.

Going beyond conventional literature, our research delves into the realm of cartoons and children's shows, where creativity and imagination run wild. The whimsical antics of "Phineas and Ferb" capture the spirit of innovation and unexpected connections, serving as a reminder to embrace the unorthodox in pursuit of knowledge. "Scooby-Doo" offers a lighthearted approach to solving mysteries, echoing the playful essence of our investigation into the peculiar association between YouTube humor and professional demand. And last but not least, the inquisitive nature of "Curious George" reflects our own curiosity in uncovering the correlation between LockPickingLawyer's video titles and optician numbers in Montana.

With a nod to both serious research and whimsical musings, our foray into the unexpected intersection of lock picking entertainment and optician employment exemplifies the humor and insight that can be gleaned from unearthing unconventional connections. As we navigate through this literature review, let's remember to keep our eyes open and our puns at the ready, for the pursuit of knowledge can take unexpected – and often delightfully amusing – turns.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unravel the enigmatic connection between the entertaining realm of lock picking and the serious demand for opticians, we employed a methodological approach that was as unexpected as the correlation we sought to uncover. The first step involved harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and decipher the humor-laden titles of LockPickingLawyer's YouTube videos. Our AI technology was specifically trained to detect puns, wordplay, and comedic elements in the video titles, with a sensitivity to dad jokes that would make even the most discerning father chuckle. We then categorized the humor elements and quantified their presence in each video title, ensuring that no pun was left unturned.

We considered the frequency, playfulness, and impact of the humor elements in the titles, employing a quantitative approach that allowed us to capture the essence of each chuckle-worthy phrase. Our team of researchers diligently perused each title, tapping into their own well of dad jokes to verify and enhance the AI-generated analyses. As meticulous as this process was, it certainly brought a hoot and a half to the research team - after all, who wouldn't appreciate a good pun?

Moving on to the empirical side of the investigation, we turned to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for a glimpse into the employment landscape of opticians in Montana. Employing data spanning from 2015 to 2022, we examined trends, fluctuations, and the overall demand for opticians in the state. Through a series of comprehensive analyses that involved both quantitative and qualitative methods, we delved into the nitty-gritty of optician employment, all while keeping an eye out for any unforeseen jests that might have slipped through.

Finally, we combined the AI-generated analysis of LockPickingLawyer's video titles with the optician employment data, constructing sophisticated statistical models to discern any meaningful connections. Our statistical analyses were as robust as they were mirthful, deploying correlation coefficient calculations and p-value determinations that could uncover even the subtlest of relationships - pun or no pun.

In undertaking this methodology, we didn't just sift through data or crunch numbers; we embarked on a playful journey to unravel a correlation that could put a twinkle in anyone's eye. Our approach, guided by both scientific rigor and a penchant for puns, exemplifies the potential for marrying whimsy with scholarly inquiry. And as the great dad joke aficionado once said, "I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug."

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The relationship between entertainment mediums and professional employment has been a topic of interest for researchers across various fields. Smith et al. (2018) examined the impact of viral social media content on occupational trends, while Doe and Jones (2020) investigated the influence of internet memes on career pathways. These studies have shed light on the potential connections between seemingly unrelated facets of popular culture and the labor market, but none have delved into the specific juxtaposition of lock picking and optician employment numbers quite like the present study. It's like fitting a key into a lock – the perfect match!
Moving beyond the realm of traditional research, our study draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of non-fiction literature. In "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the authors uncover surprising correlations that challenge conventional wisdom, much like the unanticipated relationship between YouTube video titles and optician demand. "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell provides insight into the power of rapid cognition and subconscious decision-making, mirroring the quick-witted nature of LockPickingLawyer's titles. And let's not overlook "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell, which explores the phenomenon of trends and how small changes can lead to dramatic shifts – a theme that resonates with our unexpected findings.
Shifting gears, we also draw inspiration from the world of fiction literature, where unexpected connections can spark imagination and possibility. In "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, the protagonist unravels cryptic clues leading to astonishing revelations, not unlike our journey through LockPickingLawyer's video titles in pursuit of correlations. Similarly, the intricate puzzle-solving in Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" parallels the detective work involved in uncovering the surprising link between lock picking and optician employment. And who can forget the humor and whimsy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, where the absurd and the ordinary collide – much like our study's playful exploration of unconventional connections.
Going beyond conventional literature, our research delves into the realm of cartoons and children's shows, where creativity and imagination run wild. The whimsical antics of "Phineas and Ferb" capture the spirit of innovation and unexpected connections, serving as a reminder to embrace the unorthodox in pursuit of knowledge. "Scooby-Doo" offers a lighthearted approach to solving mysteries, echoing the playful essence of our investigation into the peculiar association between YouTube humor and professional demand. And last but not least, the inquisitive nature of "Curious George" reflects our own curiosity in uncovering the correlation between LockPickingLawyer's video titles and optician numbers in Montana.
With a nod to both serious research and whimsical musings, our foray into the unexpected intersection of lock picking entertainment and optician employment exemplifies the humor and insight that can be gleaned from unearthing unconventional connections. As we navigate through this literature review, let's remember to keep our eyes open and our puns at the ready, for the pursuit of knowledge can take unexpected – and often delightfully amusing – turns.

[[RESULTS]]
The correlation analysis revealed a strong, positive correlation of 0.9511990 between the fun quotient of LockPickingLawyer's YouTube video titles and the number of opticians in Montana from 2015 to 2022. This eye-catching correlation is further supported by the high coefficient of determination (r-squared = 0.9047796), indicating that over 90% of the variability in optician employment numbers can be explained by the fun factor of the video titles. It seems that the funnier the titles, the clearer the connection to the demand for opticians in the magnificent state of Montana.
The significance of this relationship is underscored by the p-value of less than 0.01, lending substantial support to the assertion that there is a meaningful association between the two variables. It's as if the data itself couldn't resist the urge to deliver a punchline!

Correlation r = 0.9511990 (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 = 0.9047796 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of opticians in Montana) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How fun LockPickingLawyer YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00028. 0.0002800224614814723000000000
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 0.028% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,571 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.

[ 0.75, 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.
  4. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
