A variety of scholarly works have contributed to our understanding of the influence of captivating video titles on consumer sentiments and the elusive dynamics of customer satisfaction with telecommunications providers. Smith and Doe (2018) conducted a comprehensive analysis of the impact of engaging YouTube titles on consumer behavior, highlighting the subtle yet significant role played by these titles in shaping viewers' perceptions. Similarly, Jones et al. (2020) delved into the intricate interplay of customer satisfaction within the realm of telecommunication services, unraveling the multifaceted factors that contribute to the ebb and flow of consumer sentiment towards their service providers.

Turning to the realm of non-fiction literature, the works of Ariely (2008) and Kahneman (2011) provide valuable insights into the quirks of human decision-making and the often unpredictable nature of consumer preferences. These foundational works underscore the complexities of human perception and the capricious influences that underpin consumer choices, offering a lens through which to examine the interplay of engaging video titles and customer satisfaction with AT&T.

In a departure from traditional academic sources, the inclusion of fiction literature in our review is inspired by the recognition of the nuanced narratives and subtle provocations embedded within these works. Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" (1985) and Orwell's "1984" (1949) offer poignant reflections on the power of language and narrative control, prompting a contemplation of the potential parallels between the manipulation of titles in YouTube videos and the art of societal control through language.

The whimsical inclusion of children's programming in our review stems from an appreciation of the inherent playfulness and creativity that permeates these narratives. The wry humor and unexpected plot twists in "Phineas and Ferb" (2007-2015) and the captivating titles of "SpongeBob SquarePants" (1999-present) serve as an unexpected yet enlightening source of inspiration, prompting a contemplation of the potential impact of engaging titles on viewer satisfaction and emotional resonance. While seemingly divergent from the formalities of academic research, these cultural touchstones offer a refreshing perspective and a nod to the whimsical explorations that underpin our inquiry.

As we plunge into the depths of our investigation, it is imperative to recognize the multifaceted influences and unexpected sources of inspiration that guide our pursuit of knowledge. With this eclectic blend of scholarly insights, literary provocations, and unexpected cultural references, we embark on a scholarly odyssey that seeks to unearth the intricate connection between Mark Rober's YouTube video titles and the nuanced symphony of consumer sentiment towards AT&T.

Correlation r = 0.8721104 (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 = 0.7605766 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 76.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Customer satisfaction with AT&T) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How good Mark Rober YouTube video titles are) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00046. 0.0004641840616761998000000000
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 0.87 in 0.046% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,154 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.57, 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

  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.
