[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the realm of academic inquiry, the quest for unexpected associations and correlations can often unearth bizarre and comical findings. The linkage between dermatologist density and dark, criminal thoughts might seem like the punchline of a convoluted joke, but our investigation into the relationship between the number of skincare specialists in Kentucky and Google searches for "how to hide a body" has, surprisingly, uncovered a statistically significant and eyebrow-raising connection.

The idea that skincare specialists might be involved in something more sinister than just treating acne or wrinkles is an eyebrow-raising concept indeed. It's almost as if they've become experts in "covering up" more than just skin imperfections! *Cue the collective groans and eye rolls from dermatologists everywhere.*

So, why the interest in exploring such an unexpected correlation? Well, apart from the sheer novelty and perhaps some light-hearted detective work, there are potential implications that stretch beyond the realm of dad jokes and puns. Don't worry, though; we'll keep the puns coming in our attempt to shed some light on this skin-crawling mystery.

The mining of Google search data, coupled with the bureau of labor statistics, has bestowed upon us a treasure trove of numbers to crunch, leading to some rather intriguing observations. The correlation coefficient of 0.8754320 and p < 0.01 from 2010 to 2022 genuinely caught us by surprise, as if we were unearthing hidden bodies ourselves! *Insert obligatory chuckles and cringes here.*

But let's not jump the gun; we have to delve deeper into the numbers and unravel this mysterious relationship before we make any rash assumptions. After all, correlation does not imply causation, and we're not ready to accuse our valiant skincare specialists of any foul play just yet. That being said, this unexpected correlation has opened Pandora's box of possibilities, challenging our preconceptions and ostensibly rivaling the most thrilling crime novels and TV dramas. We're at the edge of our seats, and we hope you are too!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Examining the existing body of literature on the subject matter, one is confronted with a dearth of studies that directly address the correlation between dermatologist density and deviant online searches. However, a study by Smith et al. (2015) in "Skin Health Trends" hinted at the potential influence of skincare specialists on societal trends, albeit within the context of skincare habits and consumer behavior. This work, while shedding light on consumer preferences for skincare, failed to touch upon the more sinister aspects of the dermatological world. It's like they were only scratching the surface! *Cue the obligatory groans.*

On the contrary, Doe and Jones (2018) in "Dermatology and Society" examined the societal impact of dermatologists, focusing on the psychological and emotional effects of skin treatment. While their study touched upon the emotional well-being of patients, it omitted any discussion of potential criminal implications. It's almost as if they were concealing vital information! *Insert collective eye rolls here.*

Venturing beyond academic literature, one must broaden the scope of inquiry to encompass relevant non-fiction works. *Whispers in conspiratorial tones.* Works such as "The Forensic Anthropology of Skin," and "Criminal Cover-Ups: From Skin Creams to Crime Scenes," though not directly related to the subject matter, hint at the clandestine potential lying beneath the surface of the dermatology field. *Cue dramatic music.*

Intriguingly, the fictional world also offers parody and metaphorical yields for the investigation at hand. *In a hushed tone.* "The Beauty of Deception" and "Murderous Masks: A Skincare Whodunit" playfully hint at the potential overlap between skincare and less-than-honorable activities. Again, though these titles are purely fictional, they evoke a sense of mystery and mischievousness that may hold relevance to our inquisition.

In a daring move, the authors also turned to popular television shows for inspiration and insight. *Stage whisper.* "Derm Detectives" and "CSI: Cellulite Investigation" are but a few examples of crime dramas that inadvertently underscore the mystique and potential darker side of the dermatology world. Who knew that skincare and crime-solving could converge in such unexpected ways?

Thus, while the existing literature may not directly address the correlation between dermatologist density and deviant online searches, it tantalizingly hints at the intriguing possibilities and potential connections that this study seeks to unravel. It's almost as if the truth is just waiting to surface! *Cue the collective eye rolls, chuckles, and audible sighs.*

[[METHODOLOGY]]

In conducting this investigation, we employed a multifaceted approach to gather and analyze data from 2010 to 2022. Our research team utilized a combination of primary and secondary data sources, with the primary data being drawn from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the secondary data obtained from Google Trends. We rolled up our sleeves and dived deep into the sea of statistics, determined to reveal the surprising ties between dermatologist density and the peculiar Google searches for "how to hide a body."

To start, we combed through the Bureau of Labor Statistics' extensive records to ascertain the number of skincare specialists in the state of Kentucky over the selected time period. The data was meticulously analyzed, and yes, we made sure to dot our 'I's and cross our 'T's as we delved into this intriguing territory. During this process, we also accounted for any fluctuations in the demand for dermatological services, taking into consideration factors such as population growth, age demographics, and economic conditions. As they say, we dove into the data with a magnifying glass, ready to uncover every statistical blemish or anomaly.

Meanwhile, in harnessing the power of Google Trends, we embarked on an expedition through the digital labyrinth of search queries. We focused on identifying and examining the frequency of searches related to the query "how to hide a body" within the geographic confines of Kentucky. Our team paid attention to seasonal variations, special events, and any other potential external influences that could affect the volume of these searches. It was akin to navigating through the intricate layers of an enigmatic skincare routine, carefully peeling back each instance of search data.

As with any scientific pursuit, it was crucial for us to establish rigorous measures to ensure the robustness and validity of our findings. We caressed each data point with a gentle touch, employing statistical techniques such as regression analysis, time series analysis, and, of course, a healthy dose of common sense to scrutinize the patterns and correlations that emerged from our data sets. Our methodology was not just skin-deep; it delved into the depths of statistical analyses, aspiring to uncover the underlying truth in this seemingly whimsical association.

Furthermore, we augmented our analyses by conducting sensitivity tests, controlling for potential confounding variables, and battling against the confounding forces that sought to blemish the clarity of our results. We also paid heed to potential limitations, acknowledging the intricacies and complexities inherent in the data. After all, we were treading on uncharted statistical terrain, and it was essential to tread carefully and with a good sense of humor.

In essence, our methodology blended the precision of statistical analyses with the curiosity of a Sherlock Holmes movie marathon, resulting in a rigorous yet intriguing exploration of the relationship between dermatologist density and the eyebrow-raising Google searches for "how to hide a body" in the Bluegrass state. And like a well-formulated skincare regimen, our approach aimed to cleanse, tone, and moisturize the data, leaving behind no statistical impurity unaddressed.

[[RESULTS]]

The statistical analysis conducted on the data collected from 2010 to 2022 revealed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.8754320 between the number of skincare specialists in Kentucky and Google searches for "how to hide a body". This correlation was accompanied by an r-squared value of 0.7663813, indicating that approximately 77% of the variability in the Google searches could be explained by the density of skincare specialists in the state.

It seems that as the number of skincare specialists increased, so too did the interest in concealing bodies. One might say that the skincare specialists have become the real "skin concealers" in more ways than one! But let's not jump to any hasty conclusions; correlation does not imply causation, as every good researcher knows. We wouldn't want to accuse the hardworking skincare specialists of anything untoward without solid evidence – that's not the kind of "skin-deep" investigation we aim for.

The p-value of less than 0.01 suggests that the observed correlation is statistically significant. This finding practically screams for further exploration. As the saying goes, we need to "dig deeper" into this intriguing association, but we promise not to get our hands dirty.

The strong correlation is visually represented in Figure 1, a scatterplot that showcases the compelling relationship between the number of skincare specialists and Google searches for "how to hide a body". This figure serves as a remarkable visual testament to the unexpected link we've uncovered – even if it's a bit of a "skincidence".

In conclusion, our research has brought to light a significant and thought-provoking association between the presence of skincare specialists in Kentucky and the interest in concealing bodies, adding a layer of intrigue to an already rich field of study. We can only hope that our findings will inspire further investigation into this peculiar relationship – and perhaps a few more dad jokes along the way.

Thus, while the existing literature may not directly address the correlation between dermatologist density and deviant online searches, it tantalizingly hints at the intriguing possibilities and potential connections that this study seeks to unravel. It's almost as if the truth is just waiting to surface! *Cue the collective eye rolls, chuckles, and audible sighs.*

[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis conducted on the data collected from 2010 to 2022 revealed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.8754320 between the number of skincare specialists in Kentucky and Google searches for "how to hide a body". This correlation was accompanied by an r-squared value of 0.7663813, indicating that approximately 77% of the variability in the Google searches could be explained by the density of skincare specialists in the state.
It seems that as the number of skincare specialists increased, so too did the interest in concealing bodies. One might say that the skincare specialists have become the real "skin concealers" in more ways than one! But let's not jump to any hasty conclusions; correlation does not imply causation, as every good researcher knows. We wouldn't want to accuse the hardworking skincare specialists of anything untoward without solid evidence – that's not the kind of "skin-deep" investigation we aim for.
The p-value of less than 0.01 suggests that the observed correlation is statistically significant. This finding practically screams for further exploration. As the saying goes, we need to "dig deeper" into this intriguing association, but we promise not to get our hands dirty.
The strong correlation is visually represented in Figure 1, a scatterplot that showcases the compelling relationship between the number of skincare specialists and Google searches for "how to hide a body". This figure serves as a remarkable visual testament to the unexpected link we've uncovered – even if it's a bit of a "skincidence".
In conclusion, our research has brought to light a significant and thought-provoking association between the presence of skincare specialists in Kentucky and the interest in concealing bodies, adding a layer of intrigue to an already rich field of study. We can only hope that our findings will inspire further investigation into this peculiar relationship – and perhaps a few more dad jokes along the way.

As the joke goes, perhaps these skincare specialists have become the real "skin concealers" in more ways than one!

[[INTRDUCTION]]
In the realm of academic inquiry, the quest for unexpected associations and correlations can often unearth bizarre and comical findings. The linkage between dermatologist density and dark, criminal thoughts might seem like the punchline of a convoluted joke, but our investigation into the relationship between the number of skincare specialists in Kentucky and Google searches for "how to hide a body" has, surprisingly, uncovered a statistically significant and eyebrow-raising connection.
The idea that skincare specialists might be involved in something more sinister than just treating acne or wrinkles is an eyebrow-raising concept indeed. It's almost as if they've become experts in "covering up" more than just skin imperfections! *Cue the collective groans and eye rolls from dermatologists everywhere.*
So, why the interest in exploring such an unexpected correlation? Well, apart from the sheer novelty and perhaps some light-hearted detective work, there are potential implications that stretch beyond the realm of dad jokes and puns. Don't worry, though; we'll keep the puns coming in our attempt to shed some light on this skin-crawling mystery.
The mining of Google search data, coupled with the bureau of labor statistics, has bestowed upon us a treasure trove of numbers to crunch, leading to some rather intriguing observations. The correlation coefficient of 0.8754320 and p < 0.01 from 2010 to 2022 genuinely caught us by surprise, as if we were unearthing hidden bodies ourselves! *Insert obligatory chuckles and cringes here.*
But let's not jump the gun; we have to delve deeper into the numbers and unravel this mysterious relationship before we make any rash assumptions. After all, correlation does not imply causation, and we're not ready to accuse our valiant skincare specialists of any foul play just yet. That being said, this unexpected correlation has opened Pandora's box of possibilities, challenging our preconceptions and ostensibly rivaling the most thrilling crime novels and TV dramas. We're at the edge of our seats, and we hope you are too!

Correlation r = 0.8754320 (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 = 0.7663813 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 76.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to hide a body') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of skincare specialists in Kentucky) over the 13 years from 2010 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.8E-5. 0.0000883559509124279600000000
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 0.88 in 0.0088% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 11,318 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 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.

[ 0.63, 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 25,153 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.
  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.
