In this study, we investigate the surprisingly wind-dependent observation of the unexpected relationship between wind power generation in Taiwan and Google searches for 'i am tired'. Our research team utilized data from the Energy Information Administration and Google Trends to analyze this unconventional connection, which has hitherto been ignored in the literature. The findings reveal a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9802949 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning from 2004 to 2021. This study not only sheds light on the potential influence of wind power on public fatigue levels but also, quite literally, blows away any doubts about the entangled nature of energy production and online expression of exhaustion. Our results further propel the debate on the profound impacts of renewable energy sources, leaving us breathless with anticipation for future investigations into the whimsical workings of wind power.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The investigation into the effect of wind power generation in Taiwan on Google searches for the phrase 'i am tired' builds upon a myriad of studies exploring the tangential relationships between environmental factors and human behavior. Smith (2016) examined the correlation between solar radiation and instances of people searching for "nap time" on the internet, while Doe (2018) investigated the link between temperature fluctuations and the frequency of social media posts expressing fatigue. Jones (2019) delved into the influence of air quality on online queries related to sleep and rest, providing a foundation for our exploration of the impact of wind power on digital expressions of weariness.
In "Environmental Impacts on Human Responses," the authors find that environmental conditions can have subtle yet pronounced effects on human behavior, prompting individuals to seek solace and comfort in various online outlets. Similarly, "Climate Changes and Societal Transformations" presents evidence of the interconnectedness between natural elements and societal sentiments, elucidating the profound yet often overlooked influence of environmental factors on human expressions. These studies, while not directly related to wind power, set the stage for our investigation by demonstrating the nuanced ways in which environmental conditions can manifest in digital arenas.
As we transition to a more light-hearted approach, let us not overlook the potential influence of literary works that may offer unconventional insights into the topic at hand. Books such as "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wind in the Willows" may not provide direct empirical evidence, but their exploration of windy themes hints at the whimsical nature of our investigation. Furthermore, the fictional accounts of weary protagonists in "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" serve as a reminder that weariness can permeate both real and imagined realms, transcending the boundaries of reality and fiction.
In the realm of animated entertainment, cartoons such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and children's shows like "Blue's Clues" have also depicted characters experiencing fatigue, albeit in a lighthearted manner. While these sources may not directly contribute to the academic discourse on renewable energy and digital fatigue, their whimsical portrayal of exhaustion highlights the multifaceted ways in which weariness is portrayed in popular culture.
By incorporating a blend of serious scholarship, literary references, and lighthearted cultural allusions, we aim to infuse this literature review with a breath of fresh air, mirroring the very essence of wind power as it intertwines with digital expressions of tiredness. As we wade through these unconventional sources and seemingly disparate references, we invite readers to join us on this spirited journey toward a deeper understanding of the interplay between renewable energy and online weariness.

Correlation r = 0.9802949 (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 = 0.9609782 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 96.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i am tired') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Wind power generated in Taiwan) over the 18 years from 2004 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.07E-12. 0.0000000000010745574074775065
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 1.07E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 930,615,705,630 random variables You don't actually need 930 billion 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 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.

[ 0.95, 0.99 ] 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.
