The connection between seemingly disparate variables in the field of economics has long been a source of fascination for researchers. In "The Correlation Chronicles" by Smith et al., the authors delve into the unexpected associations between employment trends and stock market performance, setting the stage for our exploration of the link between the number of counter and rental clerks in Wyoming and the stock price of Conoco Phillips (COP). The findings of Smith et al. serve as a poignant reminder that beneath the surface of economic data lies a tapestry of interwoven relationships, much like a tangled fishing line waiting to be unraveled.
As we embark on this journey through the economic landscape, it's important to consider the work of Doe and Jones in "Economic Entanglements" as we navigate the uncharted territory of this peculiar correlation. Their research underscores the intricate dynamics at play in seemingly unrelated sectors, offering a framework for our analysis of the unexpected parallel between service industry employment in Wyoming and the performance of an energy giant's stock. Like a fish finding its perfect match in a bicycle, our exploration aims to shed light on a connection that defies traditional economic wisdom.
**Why don't we ever tell secrets on a farm? Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears!**
Moving beyond the realm of academic literature, it's essential to consider non-fiction books such as "The Economics of Energy" by John Smith and "Service Industry Dynamics" by Jane Doe. While these scholarly works provide a solid foundation for understanding the economic landscape, it's equally important to draw inspiration from fictional narratives that offer unique perspectives on seemingly unrelated topics.
So, let’s steer our ship towards the sea of fictional works such as "The Oil Baron's Dilemma" by A. Petroleum and "Tales of the Service Industry" by S. Clerks. These imaginary tales, while not rooted in empirical data, serve as a whimsical reminder of the unexpected connections that can be found in the most unlikely places. After all, who would have thought that the adventures of an oil baron and the trials of service industry workers could offer insights into our own research?
Now, let's dive into the world of cartoons and children's shows, where the most unexpected connections often become apparent. Who can forget the energy-themed episodes of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" or the service industry shenanigans in "SpongeBob SquarePants"? While these may seem lighthearted and unrelated to our topic at first glance, they serve as a playful reminder that the world of economics is interconnected in the most surprising ways. After all, who wouldn't want to imagine SpongeBob clerking at a rental counter in Wyoming while pondering the stock market intricacies of Conoco Phillips?
**Why did the oil refinery break up with the ground? It just couldn't find any common ground!**
With this diverse array of literature and media in mind, we set out to uncover the hidden threads that tie together the employment dynamics in Wyoming and the stock performance of Conoco Phillips. As we navigate this uncharted territory, we remain open to the unexpected and embrace the quirky connections that make the world of economics both intriguing and, when the occasion calls for it, ripe for a good dad joke.

Like a fish finding its perfect match in a bicycle, our exploration aims to shed light on a connection that defies traditional economic wisdom.
Moving beyond the realm of academic literature, it's essential to consider non-fiction books such as "The Economics of Energy" by John Smith and "Service Industry Dynamics" by Jane Doe. While these scholarly works provide a solid foundation for understanding the economic landscape, it's equally important to draw inspiration from fictional narratives that offer unique perspectives on seemingly unrelated topics.
So, let’s steer our ship towards the sea of fictional works such as "The Oil Baron's Dilemma" by A. Petroleum and "Tales of the Service Industry" by S. Clerks. These imaginary tales, while not rooted in empirical data, serve as a whimsical reminder of the unexpected connections that can be found in the most unlikely places. After all, who would have thought that the adventures of an oil baron and the trials of service industry workers could offer insights into our own research?
Now, let's dive into the world of cartoons and children's shows, where the most unexpected connections often become apparent. Who can forget the energy-themed episodes of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" or the service industry shenanigans in "SpongeBob SquarePants"? While these may seem lighthearted and unrelated to our topic at first glance, they serve as a playful reminder that the world of economics is interconnected in the most surprising ways. After all, who wouldn't want to imagine SpongeBob clerking at a rental counter in Wyoming while pondering the stock market intricacies of Conoco Phillips?
With this diverse array of literature and media in mind, we set out to uncover the hidden threads that tie together the employment dynamics in Wyoming and the stock performance of Conoco Phillips. As we navigate this uncharted territory, we remain open to the unexpected and embrace the quirky connections that make the world of economics both intriguing and, when the occasion calls for it, ripe for a good dad joke.

See what else correlates with Conoco Phillips' stock price (COP)
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 = 0.7853652 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 78.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Conoco Phillips' stock price (COP)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of counter and rental clerks in Wyoming) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.0E-7. 0.0000001996540765852454600000
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 0.89 in 2.0E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 5,008,663 random variables You don't actually need 5 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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.
[ 0.73, 0.95 ] 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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 can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."

You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.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.

The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
