[[INTRODUCTION]]

The age-old question of whether the wind knows how to blow the right way has long intrigued the curious minds of scientists and investors alike. As we delve into the realm of renewable energy and market dynamics, we are faced with an intriguing conundrum: the unexpected connection between wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health (ELV). Now, before you start protesting that this correlation is just a lot of hot air, let's explore the gusts of this phenomenon.

Namibia, known for its vast desert landscapes and unyielding winds, plays a crucial role in the global wind power landscape. Meanwhile, Elevance Health, a company specializing in health and wellness solutions, may seem like an unlikely candidate to be entwined with the whirling forces of wind energy. But let's not be too quick to dismiss this twister of a correlation.

Picture this: as the wind turbines in Namibia spin and twirl, it seems that a corresponding dance unfolds on the stock charts of Elevance Health, demonstrating a strange and seemingly unlikely harmony of movements. One might even say they are in sync like a pair of synchronized swimmers – or should we say, synchronized wind-dancers?

As we embark on this windy journey, we aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms and variables that could explain this uncanny relationship. Through the power of statistical analysis, we hope to shed light on whether this correlation is merely a passing breeze or a sustained force to be reckoned with in the world of market dynamics.

So, join us as we navigate the gusty landscape of wind power and Wall Street, for in the words of Mark Twain, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Ah, but what if the weather is doing something to the stocks? Let's find out.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between renewable energy and stock prices has been a topic of interest in both academic and financial circles. Smith et al. (2017) examined the impact of wind power generation on stock market performance, while Doe (2019) explored the relationship between renewable energy sources and investment returns. These studies contribute to a growing body of research that seeks to understand the complex interplay between sustainable energy production and financial markets.

But wait, there's more! In "Economic Implications of Wind Power," Jones (2020) delves into the economic implications of wind power, shedding light on its potential to influence market dynamics and investor behavior. The authors find that the adoption of wind energy technologies can have far-reaching effects on corporate valuations and stock price movements, hinting at a deeper connection between the winds of change and the ebb and flow of financial markets.

Now for some more unconventional sources, let's turn to non-fiction books that are both relevant and riveting. "The Wind Business: Understanding the Complex Dynamics of Renewable Energy" provides an in-depth analysis of the global wind energy industry, offering insights into the factors that drive its growth and influence market trends. Meanwhile, "The Stock Whisperer: Unraveling the Mysteries of Market Movements" delves into the enigmatic world of stock price fluctuations, drawing parallels to the enigmatic force of wind power.

As we venture into the realm of fiction, "The Power of Gusts: A Tale of Wind and Wealth" spins a captivating narrative of intrigue and suspense, weaving together the unlikely connections between wind power and financial fortunes. In a similar vein, "The Stock Market Secret: Where the Wind Blows, the Stocks Follow" presents a thrilling saga of market mysteries and meteorological marvels, challenging readers to reconsider the forces that shape investment outcomes.

And now, it's time to turn to some unconventional yet strangely relevant sources of inspiration. Who could forget the beloved cartoon "Captain Planet and the Planeteers," where the titular hero harnesses the powers of wind, earth, fire, water, and heart to protect the environment? The synergy between wind power and environmental stewardship resonates with our exploration of renewable energy's impact on financial markets. Additionally, the classic children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" imparted valuable lessons on renewable energy, sparking a lifelong interest in sustainability and its implications for society and the economy.

In the words of a wise dad, "I used to be a banker, but I lost interest." Let's hope our wind-powered stock correlation doesn't lead to a loss of interest in Elevance Health's stock price.

To unravel the mysterious link between wind power in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health (ELV), our research team employed a multifaceted approach that combined quantitative analysis, data mining, and a sprinkle of whimsy. We gathered data from the Energy Information Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv) to capture the wind power generated in Namibia and the corresponding stock prices of Elevance Health from 2006 to 2021. As we waded through the sea of data, we couldn't help but feel like sailors navigating the winds of statistical uncertainty – or should I say, data uncertainty!

Our first order of business was to compute the correlation coefficient between the wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. Armed with our trusty statistical tools, we uncovered a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9409390, leaving us to contemplate that perhaps the winds of Namibia hold more sway than previously thought. As we delved deeper into our analysis, we were reminded of the classic dad joke: "I used to be a wind turbine technician, but I got blown away by the job."

In addition to the correlation coefficient, we conducted a series of robustness checks to ensure the reliability of our findings.

Our dedication to thoroughness was reminiscent of a labyrinthine wind farm – we couldn't afford to let any rogue variables slip through the cracks!

Furthermore, we incorporated time series analysis to discern the temporal patterns and fluctuations of both wind power generation in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. This process felt like unravelling the twists and turns of a wind vortex, with each gust of data revealing a new piece of the puzzle. As we meticulously examined the ebb and flow of these data streams, we couldn't help but quip, "Looks like the winds of data are blowing in our favor."

Lastly, we employed a novel approach by harnessing the power of sentiment analysis on financial news and market reports to gauge the potential impact of public perceptions and media narratives on both wind power generation in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. This unconventional method allowed us to peek behind the curtains of market sentiment, offering a glimpse into the winds of market perception that may buffet stock prices. One might say we were "riding the winds of sentiment" as we navigated through the market news.

In summary, our research methodology blended traditional statistical analyses with a dash of unconventional techniques, mirroring the union of tradition and innovation in the world of wind power and stock trading. So, as we unfold the sail of statistical inquiry, let's set course toward the horizon of discovery and dive into the depths of this intriguing correlation. After all, in the world of research, there's no such thing as "too much wind data" – we're always ready to sail into uncharted statistical waters!

Meanwhile, "The Stock Whisperer: Unraveling the Mysteries of Market Movements" delves into the enigmatic world of stock price fluctuations, drawing parallels to the enigmatic force of wind power.
As we venture into the realm of fiction, "The Power of Gusts: A Tale of Wind and Wealth" spins a captivating narrative of intrigue and suspense, weaving together the unlikely connections between wind power and financial fortunes. In a similar vein, "The Stock Market Secret: Where the Wind Blows, the Stocks Follow" presents a thrilling saga of market mysteries and meteorological marvels, challenging readers to reconsider the forces that shape investment outcomes.
And now, it's time to turn to some unconventional yet strangely relevant sources of inspiration. Who could forget the beloved cartoon "Captain Planet and the Planeteers," where the titular hero harnesses the powers of wind, earth, fire, water, and heart to protect the environment? The synergy between wind power and environmental stewardship resonates with our exploration of renewable energy's impact on financial markets. Additionally, the classic children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" imparted valuable lessons on renewable energy, sparking a lifelong interest in sustainability and its implications for society and the economy.
In the words of a wise dad, "I used to be a banker, but I lost interest." Let's hope our wind-powered stock correlation doesn't lead to a loss of interest in Elevance Health's stock price.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data gathered from the Energy Information Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv) revealed a remarkably high correlation between wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health (ELV). The correlation coefficient of 0.9409390 and an r-squared value of 0.8853661 indicate a strong linear relationship between the two variables. It appears that as the wind power in Namibia fluctuates, so does the stock price of Elevance Health, providing evidence of a substantial connection.
Now, before you get blown away by these results, let's not discount the potential impact of winds on Wall Street just yet. This finding reinforces the idea that sometimes the wind can indeed blow in favor of certain stocks. Or perhaps it's just Elevance Health harnessing the winds of change in the market.
The significance level of p < 0.01 further emphasizes the robustness of this correlation, indicating that the likelihood of this relationship occurring by chance is highly improbable. It seems that these findings have truly weathered the storm of skepticism, standing firm in their breezy implications for the market dynamics.
In line with these findings, Fig. 1 displays a scatterplot illustrating the strong positive relationship between wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. As the old adage goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," or in this case, "Where there's wind, there's a way to influence stock prices."

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study provide compelling evidence of a significant and robust correlation between wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. This finding aligns with prior research by Smith et al. (2017) and Jones (2020), which highlighted the potential influence of renewable energy sources on stock market performance. It appears that the winds of Namibia continue to blow a gust of financial impact on Elevance Health’s stock price, making it clear that this isn’t just a lot of hot air.

The high correlation coefficient and r-squared value obtained in our analysis reinforce the notion that the fluctuations in wind power in Namibia are closely linked to the movements in Elevance Health’s stock price. It seems that the stock market may indeed be riding the winds of change, and in this case, those winds are coming all the way from Namibia.

Furthermore, the significance level of p < 0.01 denotes that the observed relationship is not likely due to random chance. This aligns with the research literature, suggesting that there is a tangible and measurable impact of wind power fluctuations on the stock market. It’s clear that the winds of Namibia hold real market influence rather than just being a passing breeze.

In our analysis, it also became evident that as the wind power in Namibia fluctuates, the stock price of Elevance Health responds in kind. It's as if the market is riding the gusts of Namibian winds, demonstrating the tangible effect of these renewable energy dynamics on financial markets. This finding not only reinforces the idea that renewable energy can be a real game-changer in the market but also provides hearty evidence for investors to keep an eye on the gusts blowing in from Namibia.

It's as if Elevance Health's stock is going through a windfall – pun intended! The clear connection between wind power and stock price movements suggests that perhaps when it comes to market influence, the answer might just be blowing in the wind. It's not often that a renewable energy source, especially one from a distant land like Namibia, carries such tangible weight in the financial world, but as our study suggests, the winds of change can carry a hefty impact.

In light of these findings, it seems that the saying, "When the wind blows, even the stock market can sway," might just ring truer than we initially thought. Although it's unlikely that the stock market will start forecasting weather patterns anytime soon, it does seem that the winds of Namibia hold a unique power over the financial fortunes of Elevance Health. It's a reminder that sometimes, when it comes to renewable energy and stock prices, it's not just a breeze blowing through the market.

Armed with data from the Energy Information Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), our research team set out to investigate this breezy correlation that has left many scratching their heads.

Our findings reveal a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9409390 and a significance level of p < 0.01 for the period spanning 2006 to 2021, suggesting a robust relationship between wind power generation in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health. As the wind blows, so does the stock price, demonstrating that perhaps there is more than just hot air driving market forces.

In a twist of fate, it appears that the winds of Namibia hold the power to sway the fortunes of Elevance Health on Wall Street. It seems the adage holds true: "When it comes to renewable energy, the stakes are always sky-high!"

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The age-old question of whether the wind knows how to blow the right way has long intrigued the curious minds of scientists and investors alike. As we delve into the realm of renewable energy and market dynamics, we are faced with an intriguing conundrum: the unexpected connection between wind power generated in Namibia and the stock price of Elevance Health (ELV). Now, before you start protesting that this correlation is just a lot of hot air, let's explore the gusts of this phenomenon.
Namibia, known for its vast desert landscapes and unyielding winds, plays a crucial role in the global wind power landscape. Meanwhile, Elevance Health, a company specializing in health and wellness solutions, may seem like an unlikely candidate to be entwined with the whirling forces of wind energy. But let's not be too quick to dismiss this twister of a correlation.
Picture this: as the wind turbines in Namibia spin and twirl, it seems that a corresponding dance unfolds on the stock charts of Elevance Health, demonstrating a strange and seemingly unlikely harmony of movements. One might even say they are in sync like a pair of synchronized swimmers – or should we say, synchronized wind-dancers?
As we embark on this windy journey, we aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms and variables that could explain this uncanny relationship. Through the power of statistical analysis, we hope to shed light on whether this correlation is merely a passing breeze or a sustained force to be reckoned with in the world of market dynamics.
So, join us as we navigate the gusty landscape of wind power and Wall Street, for in the words of Mark Twain, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Ah, but what if the weather is doing something to the stocks? Let's find out.

Correlation r = 0.9409390 (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 = 0.8853661 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 88.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Elevance Health's stock price (ELV)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Wind power generated in Namibia) over the 16 years from 2006 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.7E-8. 0.0000000574515602439463850000
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 0.94 in 5.7E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 17,405,968 random variables You don't actually need 17 million 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 15 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 15 because we have two variables measured over a period of 16 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.

[ 0.83, 0.98 ] 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.
