The Tenuous Tie Between Tennessee's Tainted Air and Teutonic Kerosene
[[ABSTRACT]]
This research delves into the unexpected and seemingly preposterous connection between air quality in Cleveland, Tennessee, and the use of kerosene in East Germany. Our study sought to determine if a link could be established between the two seemingly disparate factors, and the results are nothing short of eye-opening.
Analyzing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Information Administration, our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9700223 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the years spanning 1983 to 1990. The linkage between the air quality in Cleveland, Tennessee, and the consumption of kerosene in East Germany during this time period may seem hazy at first, but the data speaks for itself.
It is indeed as if the kerosene in East Germany was reaching across the Atlantic to taint the air in Cleveland, sparking a transcontinental combustion of curiosity. This unexpected relationship leaves us pondering whether kerosene, known for its illuminating properties, could be casting a shadow on air quality in distant lands.
In summary, our research sheds light on an unanticipated association between air quality in Tennessee and kerosene usage in East Germany, a connection that may seem to hold little weight, but in fact, carries surprising significance. This serves as a reminder that even the most seemingly unrelated variables can come together in peculiar and meaningful ways. It certainly gives new meaning to the phrase, "air apparent."
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Smith et al.," the authors find that air quality in Tennessee is influenced by a myriad of factors, including industrial emissions, vehicular traffic, and natural sources of pollution. Similarly, "Doe and Jones" posit that kerosene usage in East Germany is influenced by historical, economic, and cultural forces.
When examining the intersection of these two seemingly disparate variables, one may initially be left scratching their head, wondering what on earth air quality in Tennessee could possibly have to do with kerosene usage in East Germany. It's almost as confounding as a chicken crossing the road to get to the nearest data collection station.
"Clean Air and Kerosene: A Comparative Analysis" by White offers a detailed examination of the environmental impacts of kerosene usage, drawing attention to its potential contribution to atmospheric pollution. On the other hand, "The Illuminating History of Kerosene" by Black provides a historical perspective on the production and usage of kerosene, elucidating its economic and cultural significance. The connection between the two topics may seem as improbable as finding a streetlight in the middle of a coal mine, but our analysis has unearthed a correlation that simply cannot be ignored.
It is important to note that even works of fiction can offer insights into the unexpected intersections of seemingly unrelated phenomena. In "The Airbender Chronicles" by Aang, the protagonist discovers a peculiar correlation between air quality and the consumption of a mysterious substance in a distant land, leading us to ponder whether there may be more to this connection than meets the eye, or rather, the "air."
Additionally, "The Kerosene Diaries" by Firelighter presents a whimsical tale of a young protagonist who embarks on a quest to uncover the enigmatic link between kerosene usage and atmospheric conditions, proving that even the most seemingly far-fetched connections can hold unexpected truths. As the saying goes, "where there's smoke, there's fiction that may or may not have relevance to statistical analysis."
Drawing from the world of cinema, "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Goodfellas" offer cinematic narratives that, while not directly related to our research, serve as a reminder that unexpected connections can lead to unpredictable and often comedic outcomes. In statistical analysis, as in life, one should always be prepared for the unexpected – after all, who knows when a statistical correlation might just "ignite" a conversation?
As we delve into the perplexing relationship between air quality in Tennessee and kerosene usage in East Germany, let us approach this examination with a lighthearted sense of curiosity and an appreciation for the unexpected connections that make research such a remarkable journey. After all, in the world of statistical analysis, there's always room for a touch of whimsy and a good dad joke. Who knows, it may just "fuel" our quest for knowledge in unexpected ways.
[[RESULTS]]
In examining the correlation between air quality in Cleveland, Tennessee, and the consumption of kerosene in East Germany from 1983 to 1990, a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9700223 was identified. This high correlation coefficient provides evidence of a robust positive relationship between the two variables. It seems that even across continents, the air and kerosene have found a way to communicate - it's almost as if they speak a common language, perhaps "aero-mic."
The r-squared value of 0.9409433 further reinforces the strength of the association between air quality in Cleveland and kerosene usage in East Germany. This tight fit between the data points suggests that changes in kerosene consumption can explain a significant proportion of the variation in air quality. These results prompt us to see air quality and kerosene usage not just as distant acquaintances, but as close statistical confidants, exchanging more than just pleasantries.
Moreover, the p-value of less than 0.01 indicates that the observed relationship is unlikely to be a result of random chance. This statistically significant finding provides compelling evidence in support of the existence of a meaningful link between the two variables. It's as if the kerosene in East Germany is sending smoke signals to Cleveland, beckoning the air quality to dance to its tune.
The scatterplot displayed in Figure 1 visually captures the strong correlation between air quality in Cleveland and kerosene consumption in East Germany. The data points are tightly clustered around the regression line, reflecting the established connection between the two variables. It's almost as if the data is performing a delicate statistical waltz, gracefully illustrating the syncopation between air quality and kerosene usage.
In summary, the results of our analysis reveal a compelling correlation between air quality in Cleveland, Tennessee, and the consumption of kerosene in East Germany. This unexpected association challenges conventional assumptions and reminds us that in the realm of statistical relationships, the most unlikely pairs can illuminate groundbreaking insights. As we reflect on this unexpected statistical courtship, we are reminded that sometimes, the most unconventional connections unveil the most profound understanding – a real "breath of fresh air" in scientific discovery.

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 = 0.9409433 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Kerosene used in Germany, East) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Cleveland, Tennessee) over the 8 years from 1983 through 1990.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.6E-5. 0.0000658441625676782300000000
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 0.97 in 0.0066% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 15,187 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.
[ 0.84, 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.
| 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 | 1990 | |

| Kerosene used in Germany, East (Million Barrels/Day) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 0.275 | 0.253 | 0.255 | 0.233 |
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. - 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.
- 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.
