In a delightful twist, the intersection of air quality and online search behavior also calls to mind the fictional world of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" by Judi Barrett and "The Air Affair" by Jasper Fforde, inviting us to consider the whimsical possibilities that may arise when seemingly unrelated phenomena converge. As we navigate the scholarly landscape, we are reminded that sometimes, the most unexpected connections can blow new life into established fields of inquiry. In a nod to the lighthearted nature of our investigation, let us not forget the potential inspiration that may be drawn from 'Chutes and Ladders' and 'Jenga' as we navigate the intricate web of interactions between environmental variables and human curiosity.

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our analysis unveiled a striking correlation between air quality in Tampa, Florida and searches for "how to make baby" on Google. Over the period from 2004 to 2023, we found a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.9173704, indicating a strong positive relationship between the two variables. This suggests that as air quality in Tampa improved, there was a notable increase in searches for information on the process of making babies.
In addition, the coefficient of determination (r-squared) of 0.8415684 demonstrated that approximately 84.16% of the variability in the frequency of "how to make baby" searches could be explained by changes in air quality. It's almost as if better air quality was breathing new life into the search query! The statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 further underscored the robustness of this relationship, providing strong evidence that the association was not due to random chance.
Figure 1 (inserted elsewhere) visually encapsulates the magnitude of this relationship, depicting a scatterplot that showcases the remarkable coherence between air quality and the frequency of Google searches related to procreation. One can almost see the "baby boom" in online queries correspondingly bloom with improvements in air quality, offering a playful parallel to the metaphorical scent of fresh air enhancing human reproductive endeavors.
These findings not only shed light on the unexpected nexus between environmental factors and human curiosity but also serve as a whimsical reminder of the multifaceted influences that can permeate online search behavior. This study adds a breath of fresh air to the interdisciplinary dialogue on environmental and social dynamics, highlighting the potential for unconventional variables to reveal insightful and at times amusing connections.

Correlation r = 0.9173704 (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 = 0.8415684 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 84.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to make baby') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Tampa, Florida) over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-8. 0.0000000125980117426415130000
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 0.92 in 1.3E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 79,377,605 random variables You don't actually need 79 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.

[ 0.8, 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.
