This paper delves into the peculiar yet intriguing relationship between air quality in Savannah, Georgia, and the frequency of Google searches for the timeless query, "Scooby Doo, where are you?" We have long suspected a mystery to be solved, and our research aims to shed light on this seemingly whimsical connection.
By leveraging data from the Environmental Protection Agency and Google Trends, we meticulously analyzed air quality indices and search trends from 2004 to 2023. Much to our surprise, we uncovered a substantial correlation coefficient of 0.9108548 and a strikingly significant p-value of less than 0.01, indicating that there is more to this mysterious correlation than meets the eye.
It seems that as air quality in Savannah fluctuates, so too do the fervent searches for the whereabouts of Scooby Doo and his stalwart companions. This unearthed association tickles the funny bone, prompting us to ponder, "Is Scooby Doo seeking refuge from pollution, or are the citizens of Savannah playfully seeking solace in this timeless cartoon amidst environmental concerns?"
In the realm of absurd coincidences, one might even jest that the air in Savannah carries a scent reminiscent of Scooby Snacks, leading denizens of the internet to emit curious search queries. But, jokes aside, our findings suggest a remarkable link between environmental factors and popular culture that merits further investigation.
Ultimately, our research not only unravels an unexpected correlation between air quality and pop culture, but also underscores the unyielding charm of scooby snacks and air quality indices—two seemingly unrelated quandaries that truthfully have more in common than one might initially suspect.

To solve this enigmatic correlation, we harnessed the power of data from the Environmental Protection Agency and Google Trends with all the authority of Shaggy issuing his signature catchphrase, "Zoinks!" Our methodology involved a meticulous fusion of sophisticated statistical analyses and a dash of unconventional wisdom akin to Scooby Snacks.
First, we collected air quality data from various monitoring stations across Savannah, Georgia. While we did not personally ride the Mystery Machine to gather this data, we can confirm that no Scooby Snacks were consumed during the acquisition process. We then compiled this data into a comprehensive dataset, being careful not to let any pesky ghosts or ghouls tamper with our findings.
With the air quality indices in hand, we turned to Google Trends to track the frequency of searches for "Scooby Doo, where are you?" across the same timeframe. To ensure the utmost accuracy, we referenced the timeless episodes for any clues on how to navigate the labyrinth of big data.
Once armed with both sets of data, we employed a series of analytical techniques that would have made even the brilliant Velma grin with approval. Our arsenal of statistical methods included correlation analysis, time series modeling, and multivariate regression. Our aim was to unravel the mysterious connection between air quality and the search queries for our adventurous canine friend, all while keeping an eye out for any lurking spooks.
Finally, we solemnly swear that no Scooby Snacks were bribed to alter our results. All analyses were conducted with the utmost rigor and precision, drawing the line at including any ghostly apparitions in our statistical models.
In summary, our research methodology combined insight from the fields of environmental science, statistical analysis, and a touch of whimsical curiosity fit for an episode of Scooby Doo. This multifaceted approach allowed us to decode the confounding correlation and, with any luck, unearth some hidden chuckles along the way. Now, let's solve this mystery!

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 = 0.8296565 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 83% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'scooby doo where are you') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Savannah, Georgia) over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.4E-8. 0.0000000243442121066703140000
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 0.91 in 2.4E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 41,077,526 random variables You don't actually need 41 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.
[ 0.78, 0.96 ] 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
- 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.
