[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

While the examination of seemingly unrelated phenomena often leads to unexpected and intriguing findings, few could have predicted the unlikely convergence of 3Blue1Brown YouTube video titles and rainfall patterns in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our exploration of this correlation sheds light on the potential influence of mathematical elegance in video titles on atmospheric conditions, providing ample fodder for both scholarly discourse and casual amusement.

Smith et al. (2017) first laid the groundwork for our investigation by delving into the concept of linguistic appeal in digital media and its potential impact on viewer engagement. However, unlike our current endeavor, their work did not extend to exploring the meteorological consequences of linguistic appeal. Building upon this foundation, Doe and Jones (2019) examined the psychological and cognitive effects of intriguing linguistic patterns in online content, but their focus remained squarely within the domain of human perception, leaving the weather gods unconsulted.

In "The Art of Captivating Clickbait" by Johnson (2018), the author dissects the techniques used in the creation of digital content titles designed to captivate the attention of the online audience. While Johnson’s work provides valuable insights into the art of crafting captivating titles, the weather-related implications of such linguistic prowess remain unexplored. "The Algorithmic Allure: Analyzing Digital Content Engagement" by Adams (2020) offers a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing digital content engagement, including linguistic and mathematical elements, yet fails to consider the potential atmospheric repercussions of such engagement. These works, while informative, do not satisfy our curiosity regarding the interplay between mathematical intrigue and meteorological phenomena.

Turning our attention to fictional works, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" by Barrett (1978) humorously depicts a town where the probability of precipitation extends beyond water to include a variety of edible comestibles. While not directly related to our study, Barrett’s whimsical tale serves as a reminder that unexpected and fantastical connections can arise within the realm of weather phenomena. On a more mathematically inclined note, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Abbott (1884) offers a satirical examination of geometric dimensions in a two-dimensional world. While Abbott’s work delves into the realm of mathematics and spatial concepts rather than meteorology, its whimsical approach to abstract concepts serves as a lighthearted parallel to our own unusual foray into seemingly unrelated domains.

Moving beyond the conventional boundaries of academic literature, we found ourselves perusing the backs of various household products, including shampoo bottles, in a rather unorthodox attempt to uncover insights into the connection between video titles and rainfall. While this unconventional approach yielded little in the way of scholarly findings, it did provide a surprising array of flowery language extolling the virtues of voluminous hair and revitalizing botanical extracts. Alas, it seems the secrets of precipitation-enhancing video titles remain elusive in the world of consumer goods, prompting us to return to more traditional sources of knowledge.

In our quest to uncover the potential influence of 3Blue1Brown video titles on the weather patterns of Charlotte, we have encountered a wide array of literary and unconventional sources that both inform and entertain. Enlightened by existing scholarship and gently amused by tangentially related fiction, we press forward with the assurance that our journey, while unusual, holds the promise of amusing revelations and unexpected conclusions.

Correlation r = 0.8026137 (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 = 0.6441887 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 64.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Rain in Charlotte) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How 'hip and with it' 3Blue1Brown 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 0.016. 0.0164922327816903330000000000
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 0.8 in 1.6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 61 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.

[ 0.23, 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

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
