[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature surrounding the correlation between linguistic trends in digital media and meteorological phenomena is, as one might expect, rather scant. However, the few existing studies shed light on the curious interplay between seemingly unrelated factors.

Smith et al. (2017) conducted a study on the influence of social media language on mood and behavior, albeit not directly related to meteorological patterns. Moving on to a more relevant domain, Doe and Jones (2018) delved into the impact of online content titles on user engagement, establishing a groundwork for our investigation into the linguistic peculiarities of YouTube video titles. These studies, though not directly aligned with our offbeat quest, set the stage for our exploration of the eccentric connection between digital communication and atmospheric phenomena.

Turning to non-fiction literature, "Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner presents an unconventional and thought-provoking analysis of seemingly unrelated variables, a theme that resonates with our own study. In a whimsical twist, "The Cloudspotter's Guide" by Gavin Pretor-Pinney chronicles the fascination with atmospheric wonders, drawing a parallel to our enchantment with the unexpected relationship between YouTube jargon and rainfall.

As we wander deeper into the realm of literature, we encounter fictional works that, on the surface, might appear unrelated to our research but offer amusing parallels. For instance, in Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," we witness the serendipitous nature of the universe, which resonates with the serendipitous nature of our findings. Furthermore, the whimsical world of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" by Judi Barrett and Ron Barrett playfully mirrors the unpredictable connections we have stumbled upon, albeit substituting meatballs for rainfall.

The childhood nostalgia of Saturday morning cartoons brings forth unexpected relevance, as popular shows such as "Rainbow Brite" and "Care Bears" instill fond memories of playful meteorological themes and colorful characters. These seemingly frivolous references, while amusing, underscore the unanticipated intersections we encounter as we unravel the perplexing dance between YouTube vernacular and weather patterns.

As we navigate through the serious and not-so-serious realms of literature, we must now brace ourselves for the plethora of quirky and chuckle-inducing findings awaiting us in the subsequent sections of this paper. Onward, dear readers, to the convivial depths of statistical analysis and wittiness!

Correlation r = 0.8040646 (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 = 0.6465199 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 64.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Rain in Honolulu) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How 'hip and with it' Computerphile YouTube video titles are) over the 11 years from 2013 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0029. 0.0028537801644077720000000000
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 0.29% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 350 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.39, 0.95 ] 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. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
