[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we set out to explore the enigmatic relationship between Krispy Kreme doughnuts and the total comments on SmarterEveryDay YouTube videos, we immersed ourselves in the existing literature to glean insights and set the stage for our own peculiar investigation. In "Economic Implications of Doughnut Store Proliferation" by Smith, the authors delve into the economic impact of doughnut stores in the United States, offering a comprehensive analysis of consumer behavior and market dynamics.

Now, let's not glaze over the fact that one of the most influential sources in this realm is Doe's "Doughnuts and Societal Trends," which skillfully navigates the social implications of doughnut consumption, from communal rituals to individual preferences.
Why did the doughnut break up with the croissant? It just couldn't get over the flakiness.

Moving beyond the realm of strictly academic research, "The Joy of Doughnuts" by Peter Jones provides a delightful exploration of doughnut culture, bringing to light the various forms of appreciation and indulgence that characterize this beloved pastry. Meanwhile, in the world of fiction, works like "Doughnuts and Deliberations" by Jane Dougherty and "The Comment Chronicles" by Arthur Bytes capture the essence of doughnut-related musings and digital discourse in a whimsical, albeit metaphorical, fashion.

But let's be real for a moment – we didn't *just* rely on scholarly articles and esteemed authors. We also conducted an exhaustive analysis of grocery store receipts, diner menus, and yes, even the backs of CVS receipts with intriguing philosophical musings. Sometimes the most profound insights hide in the unlikeliest of places, don't they?

In any case, armed with a comprehensive understanding of the existing literature and a penchant for donut-related puns, we embarked on our own investigation, aligning ourselves with the spirit of curiosity and a healthy dose of humor. After all, what's academic research without a sprinkle of mirth and a dash of decadence?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
As we set out to explore the enigmatic relationship between Krispy Kreme doughnuts and the total comments on SmarterEveryDay YouTube videos, we immersed ourselves in the existing literature to glean insights and set the stage for our own peculiar investigation. In "Economic Implications of Doughnut Store Proliferation" by Smith, the authors delve into the economic impact of doughnut stores in the United States, offering a comprehensive analysis of consumer behavior and market dynamics.
Now, let's not glaze over the fact that one of the most influential sources in this realm is Doe's "Doughnuts and Societal Trends," which skillfully navigates the social implications of doughnut consumption, from communal rituals to individual preferences.
Why did the doughnut break up with the croissant? It just couldn't get over the flakiness.
Moving beyond the realm of strictly academic research, "The Joy of Doughnuts" by Peter Jones provides a delightful exploration of doughnut culture, bringing to light the various forms of appreciation and indulgence that characterize this beloved pastry. Meanwhile, in the world of fiction, works like "Doughnuts and Deliberations" by Jane Dougherty and "The Comment Chronicles" by Arthur Bytes capture the essence of doughnut-related musings and digital discourse in a whimsical, albeit metaphorical, fashion.
But let's be real for a moment – we didn't *just* rely on scholarly articles and esteemed authors. We also conducted an exhaustive analysis of grocery store receipts, diner menus, and yes, even the backs of CVS receipts with intriguing philosophical musings. Sometimes the most profound insights hide in the unlikeliest of places, don't they?
In any case, armed with a comprehensive understanding of the existing literature and a penchant for donut-related puns, we embarked on our own investigation, aligning ourselves with the spirit of curiosity and a healthy dose of humor. After all, what's academic research without a sprinkle of mirth and a dash of decadence?

Correlation r = 0.5874464 (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 = 0.3450932 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 34.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total comments on SmarterEveryDay YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Krispy Kreme Doughnuts store count in the US) over the 15 years from 2007 through 2021.

p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.021. 0.0212958675920500200000000000
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 0.59 in 2.1% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 47 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 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.

[ 0.11, 0.85 ] 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.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
