[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The endeavor to elucidate the influence of Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption in Samoa finds its foundation in the literature on the impact of linguistic stimuli on consumer behavior. Smith et al. (2018) explore the persuasive power of language in advertising, revealing the subtle but potent effects of word choice on consumer perceptions and decisions. Building upon this premise, Doe and Jones (2020) delve into the realm of digital media and its capacity to evoke emotional responses through linguistic elements, thereby influencing audience engagement. These studies, while not directly addressing the intersection of YouTube video titles and energy consumption, lay the groundwork for understanding the potential potency of linguistic stimuli in shaping behavioral patterns.

Moving beyond the strictly empirical domains, the works of renowned non-fiction authors such as "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, and "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely, provide compelling insights into the quirky and oftentimes irrational facets of human decision-making. Their exploration of seemingly unrelated variables influencing human behavior serves as a titillating backdrop for our investigation into the interplay of humor-laden video titles and gas consumption. Furthermore, the fictional works of Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and Kurt Vonnegut's "The Sirens of Titan" beckon the reader to contemplate the absurd and unexpected elements in seemingly unrelated phenomena, setting the stage for the whimsy that unfolds in the present inquiry.

Intriguingly, the researchers themselves, in the pursuit of in-depth understanding, have ventured into the realm of YouTube content and humor, immersing themselves in the captivating world of shows such as "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" While ostensibly unrelated to the subject matter at hand, the authors have inexplicably found themselves drawn into the realm of humorous, offbeat narratives, paving the way for a rather unconventional lens through which to view the intersection of YouTube content and energy consumption.

The convergence of seemingly disparate realms, ranging from empirical studies on linguistic persuasion to the quirky musings of fiction and television, evokes an aura of unforeseen interconnectedness, underpinning the unorthodox narrative that unfolds in the present investigation.

[[METHODOLOGY]]



ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

The methodology employed in this research entailed a multifaceted approach involving data collection, linguistic analysis, and statistical inference. The first step involved the retrieval of YouTube video titles from Simone Giertz's channel, with a particular emphasis on those released from 2014 to 2021. The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms facilitated the parsing and assessment of the linguistic characteristics of these titles, gauging their level of provocative appeal and whimsical charm. It is important to note that the AI was not programmed to appreciate the subtlety of Simone's humor, but rather conducted a rigorous linguistic analysis devoid of subjective bias.

Simultaneously, data pertaining to the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Samoa during the same period was sourced from the Energy Information Administration. This data was scrutinized to establish patterns and fluctuations in LPG utilization, allowing for an understanding of the energy consumption dynamics within the Samoan context.

To assess the correlation between Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and LPG consumption in Samoa, a sophisticated statistical analysis was employed. The team calculated correlation coefficients and p-values to discern the strength and significance of any potential relationships. Moreover, a series of multivariate regression models were applied to control for confounding variables such as population growth, economic conditions, and changes in energy policies that could influence LPG consumption independent of Simone Giertz's YouTube titles.

Additionally, to ensure the reliability and validity of the findings, sensitivity analyses were conducted to test the robustness of the observed correlations. These analyses involved varying the time frames, altering the parameters of linguistic analysis, and incorporating additional variables to ascertain the consistency of the identified relationships.

It should be noted that while the connection between Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles and LPG consumption in Samoa may seem whimsical, the methodological rigor employed in this study maintains the integrity of the research, even in the face of unexpected findings.

Correlation r = 0.9802732 (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 = 0.9609355 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 96.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Liquefied petroleum gas used in Samoa) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How provocative Simone Giertz's YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2014 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.9E-5. 0.0000189088409190770330000000
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 0.98 in 0.0019% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 52,885 random variables You don't actually need 52 thousand 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 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.

[ 0.89, 1 ] 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.
