[[INTRODUCTION]]
The interplay between air pollution and energy generation has long been a topic of interest, much like the tangled web of relationships in a romantic comedy. While the focus has often been on the local impacts of pollution, such as respiratory health issues and smoggy skylines, the broader, more global effects have received less attention than the strange items in the lost and found box at a community center. In this study, we decided to embark on a journey reminiscent of a detective novel, connecting the dots between the air quality in Staunton, Virginia, and the hydro-power energy production in the far-flung Dominican Republic.
Like detectives sifting through clues at a crime scene, we pored over mountains of data to discern any patterns, relationships, or perplexing surprises. Our findings, much like a magician revealing their enchanting secrets, unveiled a curious correlation between the two seemingly unrelated entities. The correlation coefficient of 0.8254984 is like finding a rare vintage comic book in a pile of old newspapers—alluring and unexpected, yet undeniably fascinating. With a p-value of less than 0.01, the relationship we unearthed is as statistically significant as the impact of a loud punchline in a quiet room.
This study is not merely a dry examination of data points and statistical measures. It is an adventure story—albeit one set in the world of academia—where we tumbled down the rabbit hole of environmental and energy interconnections. As we present our findings, we invite readers to join us on this jaunty expedition, where the unexpected revelations are as plentiful as the hidden jokes in a classic sitcom. The aha moments and raised eyebrows that punctuate our exploration underscore the notion that truth is often stranger than fiction—and that the scientific pursuit of knowledge can be as entertaining as a circus full of clowns on a trapeze.

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 = 0.6814477 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 68.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Hydopower energy generated in Dominican Republic) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Staunton, Virginia) over the 10 years from 1985 through 1994.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0033. 0.0032674623623931373000000000
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 0.33% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 306 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.
[ 0.41, 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 25,237 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.
- 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.
