[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

To contextualize the electrifying connection between PBS Space Time YouTube video titles and automotive recalls for electrical system issues, we turn to the existing corpus of knowledge in related fields. Smith et al. (2018) conducted a comprehensive study on the impact of YouTube video titles on user engagement, highlighting the pivotal role of attention-grabbing titles in attracting viewers. This finding echoes the age-old wisdom that a catchy title is the bread and butter of online content – or perhaps in this case, the electrons and protons.

In "Doe and Johnson's" investigation of automotive recalls (2020), the authors uncover the prevalence of electrical system malfunctions as a leading cause for recalls in modern vehicles. The intricate web of wires and circuits within a car's electrical system, it seems, is not immune to sparking trouble. Now, wouldn't you say that's quite a shocking discovery?

Turning to a more theoretical perspective, "Jones and Williams" (2019) discuss the psychological appeal of provocative titles in driving viewer curiosity and engagement. Much like the voltage coursing through an electrical system, the allure of a well-crafted YouTube title can generate quite the buzz among audiences. One might even say that both are charged with the task of capturing attention!

In a more unconventional turn, we venture into the literary realm, drawing insights from non-fiction works such as "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein and "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe. While not directly related to online video titles or automotive recalls, these texts offer a tangential exploration of shocking and electrifying themes. The connection, much like some electrical wiring, may seem like a bit of a stretch, but it’s all about making the right connections, isn’t it?

Bringing a whimsical twist to our literary foray, we also consider fictional narratives such as "The Shock of the Fall" by Nathan Filer and "Electric Dreams: Seven Futuristic Tales" by Philip K. Dick. While these stories may not provide empirical evidence, they serve as a reminder that the shock factor can be a compelling narrative device, much like finding out your car is subject to an electrical system recall just as you were revving up for a road trip.

And now, for a turn to the truly unexpected, in the spirit of thorough research, we must acknowledge the unconventional sources that informed our understanding. Through a rigorous review of materials, we stumbled across the backs of shampoo bottles, which, in their own way, offer titillating titles and warnings about potential hazards – much like a YouTube video title that draws you in, only to reveal the electrifying content within. After all, who knew that shampoo bottles could hold such a wealth of knowledge, alongside their cleansing duties?

The intricate web of wires and circuits within a car's electrical system, it seems, is not immune to sparking trouble. Now, wouldn't you say that's quite a shocking discovery?
Turning to a more theoretical perspective, "Jones and Williams" (2019) discuss the psychological appeal of provocative titles in driving viewer curiosity and engagement. Much like the voltage coursing through an electrical system, the allure of a well-crafted YouTube title can generate quite the buzz among audiences. One might even say that both are charged with the task of capturing attention!
In a more unconventional turn, we venture into the literary realm, drawing insights from non-fiction works such as "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein and "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe. While not directly related to online video titles or automotive recalls, these texts offer a tangential exploration of shocking and electrifying themes. The connection, much like some electrical wiring, may seem like a bit of a stretch, but it’s all about making the right connections, isn’t it?
Bringing a whimsical twist to our literary foray, we also consider fictional narratives such as "The Shock of the Fall" by Nathan Filer and "Electric Dreams: Seven Futuristic Tales" by Philip K. Dick. While these stories may not provide empirical evidence, they serve as a reminder that the shock factor can be a compelling narrative device, much like finding out your car is subject to an electrical system recall just as you were revving up for a road trip.
And now, for a turn to the truly unexpected, in the spirit of thorough research, we must acknowledge the unconventional sources that informed our understanding. Through a rigorous review of materials, we stumbled across the backs of shampoo bottles, which, in their own way, offer titillating titles and warnings about potential hazards – much like a YouTube video title that draws you in, only to reveal the electrifying content within. After all, who knew that shampoo bottles could hold such a wealth of knowledge, alongside their cleansing duties?

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of data collected from the years 2015 to 2022 revealed a remarkably strong correlation between the quality of PBS Space Time YouTube video titles and automotive recalls for electrical system issues, with a correlation coefficient of 0.8309795. This suggests a compelling association between the two variables, indicating that a shockingly good YouTube title may indeed be a harbinger of automotive electrical woes. One might even say that these titles have the potential to spark some serious issues - both logistically and metaphorically.
The calculated r-squared value of 0.6905270 further reinforces the robustness of the association, explaining approximately 69% of the variability in automotive recalls for electrical system malfunctions based on the quality of PBS Space Time YouTube video titles. It's almost as if the strength of the YouTube title is directly wired to the likelihood of an automotive shocker down the line.
Moreover, the p-value of less than 0.05 provides strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that the relationship between the quality of YouTube video titles and automotive recalls for electrical system issues is indeed statistically significant. It seems that these YouTube titles have the potential to conduct quite a charge in the automotive world, wouldn't you say?
Lastly, the visual representation of this electrifying relationship can be observed in Fig. 1, which displays a scatterplot illustrating the strong positive correlation between the quality of PBS Space Time YouTube video titles and the occurrence of automotive recalls for electrical system malfunctions. The figure serves as a vivid testament to the striking nature of this unexpected connection. And remember, when it comes to correlations, we always say, "Ohm my gosh, that's shocking!"
Stay tuned for the next section, where we'll attempt to extrapolate some far-reaching implications from this electrifying correlation. Get ready for more sparks, puns, and presumably some resistance (in the electrical sense).

Correlation r = 0.8309795 (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 = 0.6905270 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 69.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Automotive recalls for issues with the Electrical System) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How good PBS Space Time YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0106. 0.0105928986518828930000000000
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 0.83 in 1.06% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 94 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.

[ 0.3, 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.
  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.
  5. 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.
