AI explanation

As the number of nuclear medicine technologists in Connecticut dwindles, so does the atomic energy they once radiated. With less nuclear flair in the state, there's a quantum shift in coolness that even spacetime can't escape. It seems the fusion of 'hip and with it' vibes relies on a different kind of nuclear reaction, and Connecticut's got its own cosmic conundrum to solve. Looks like this is one case where being rad actually matters in the grand scheme of things!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The relationship between popular culture and professional fields has been a focus of scholarly inquiry for decades. In the seminal work by Smith et al. (2010), "Pop Culture and the Workplace: An Unlikely Duo," the authors explore the impact of contemporary music on workplace dynamics, shedding light on the unexpected influence of Justin Bieber songs on office productivity. On the lighter side, Doe and Jones (2014) delved into the quirky realm of internet memes and their implications for organizational behavior in "Workplace LOLs: A Study of Memes and Morale."
Moving into more tangential yet intriguing literature, "The Quantum Physics of Meme Generation" by Johnson (2018) provides an amusing take on the interplay between physics and internet humor, offering a unique perspective on the potential relationship between PBS Space Time video titles and professional vocations. Meanwhile, in "The Multiverse of Corporate Culture" by Lee (2017), the interconnectedness of parallel universes and corporate environments is humorously dissected, hinting at the cosmic connections that may underpin our seemingly mundane occupational realms.
In a fictional but nonetheless thought-provoking context, the classic novel "Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville takes readers on a nautical journey filled with existential pondering and unexpected encounters, not entirely dissimilar to our own exploration of the cosmic ties between YouTube titles and nuclear medicine technologists.
On a more light-hearted note, the charming world of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams offers a whimsical yet insightful perspective on the cosmic order, serving as a delightful touchstone for our investigation into the galactically groovy correlations between PBS Space Time video titles and the workforce of nuclear medicine professionals.
Embracing the entertainment industry's take on space odysseys, movies such as "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Star Trek" provide an imaginative backdrop for our research, reinforcing the notion that the cosmic and the professional may not be as far apart as one would assume.
Through this whirlwind tour of literature and popular culture, we find ourselves at the crux of a cosmic-tinged inquiry that melds statistical rigor with an undeniable element of fun. As we move forward in our investigation, we invite our readers to join us in this interstellar adventure, as we unveil the perplexing correlations between YouTube titles and the dedicated cadre of nuclear medicine technologists in the enchanting state of Connecticut. So buckle up, fellow researchers, for this journey promises to be as illuminating as it is entertaining.

[[RESULTS]]

Correlation r = 0.9485249 (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 = 0.8996994 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of nuclear medicine technologists in Connecticut) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How 'hip and with it' PBS Space Time YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00033. 0.0003279542382105412000000000
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 0.95 in 0.033% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,049 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.

[ 0.74, 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.

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.
