[[INTRODUCTION]]

The intersection of seemingly unrelated phenomena has long been a fascination of researchers, leading to unexpected discoveries and a fair share of eyebrow-raising revelations. In this study, we embarked on a curious exploration of the interplay between the trendy video titles of the notable YouTube mathematician Vihart and the utilization of kerosene in the sovereign state of the United Kingdom. One might say we were on a quest to uncover the "igniting" factors behind this potential relationship – pun completely intended.

As we venture into the realm of Vihart's video titles, we are reminded of the classic dad joke: "I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug." Similarly, Vihart's titles have a way of embracing mathematical concepts in a manner that makes them remarkably appealing to a broad audience. With a mix of whimsy and mathematical depth, her titles often tantalize and captivate onlookers, analogous to a good dad joke that brings a wry smile to the face of even the most serious individual.

On the other side of our investigation lies the utilization of kerosene in the United Kingdom, a topic that may seem far removed from the quirky world of YouTube video titles. Nevertheless, akin to the unexpected twist in a well-crafted dad joke, we hypothesized that there might be a link between the popularity of Vihart's video titles and the consumption of kerosene in the UK. Could there be an uncharted connection lurking beneath the surface, much like the punchline of a carefully constructed dad joke that catches us off guard?

Our research was driven by the notion that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, a principle that holds true in both statistical analyses and comedic timing. After all, just as a dad joke can elicit groans while simultaneously earning appreciative chuckles, the relationship between Vihart's video titles and kerosene usage in the UK demanded a rigorous investigation to discern if it was genuinely more than a coincidence.

In the following sections, we first detail our methods for analyzing the trendy video titles of Vihart and the consumption of kerosene in the UK. Then, we present our findings, which will surely serve as a delightful puzzle akin to the enigmatic wit of a cleverly constructed dad joke.

Correlation r = 0.8223001 (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 = 0.6761775 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 67.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Kerosene used in United Kingdom) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How trendy Vihart YouTube video titles are) over the 14 years from 2009 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000306. 0.0003063582850595882000000000
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 0.82 in 0.0306% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,264 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 13 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 13 because we have two variables measured over a period of 14 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.

[ 0.52, 0.94 ] 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.
