Moreover, in our quest for scholarly enlightenment, we couldn't resist indulging in some thoroughly researched TV shows like "Cheese Masters: The Ultimate Meltdown," "Solar Power Superstars," and "Gouda Light: Shedding Cheese on Solar Energy," all of which proved to be both entertaining and surprisingly insightful. These enlightening sources not only contributed to our understanding of the subject matter but also sparked a fervent appreciation for the delightful synergy between dairy delicacies and sustainable energy sources.
In the spirit of embracing unexpected correlations, much like the delightful pairing of a tangy gouda with a crisp solar panel, we shall embark on a journey through the annals of empirical research and whimsical literature, aiming to shed light on the intriguing relationship between American cheese consumption and solar energy generation. Let us pave the whey for a harmonious fusion of culinary delight and radiant sustainability, sprinkled with a generous serving of dad jokes that are as gratifying as a perfectly aged cheese.
[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generated in Nepal yielded an impressive correlation coefficient of 0.9519517, signifying a remarkably strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. This correlation coefficient indicates that as American cheese consumption increased, there was a corresponding rise in solar power generation in Nepal. It seems that the phrase "cheese it up" may have taken on an entirely new meaning in the realm of renewable energy.
This significant correlation prompts reflection on the potential implications and causes underlying this unexpected relationship. It begs the question: Is there some metaphysical connection between the savory allure of American cheese and the radiant power of the sun, or are there more tangible factors at play? One thing's for sure – this discovery adds a whole new dimension to the concept of a "power lunch."
The r-squared value of 0.9062120 further emphasizes the robustness of the identified relationship. This indicates that approximately 90.62% of the variation in solar power generation in Nepal can be explained by the variation in American cheese consumption in the United States. It's a marvel to consider that such a large proportion of Nepal's solar energy output might be associated with the melting of American cheese slices on sandwiches and burgers across the ocean.
Additionally, the p-value of less than 0.01 denotes the high level of statistical significance in the relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Nepal. This p-value serves as compelling evidence that the observed correlation is unlikely to have occurred purely by chance, reassuring us that we are not merely grasping at straws – or should I say, stringy cheese.
The scatterplot (Fig. 1) visually encapsulates the striking correlation uncovered in our analysis, presenting a clear and compelling depiction of the relationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generated in Nepal. It's as if the graph itself is exclaiming, "Say cheese!" – pun intended, of course.
In conclusion, the results of our study provide intriguing insight into the unexpected connection between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Nepal. This unexpected correlation shines a light on the whimsical and often delightfully surprising nature of statistical analysis, reminding us that even the most seemingly unrelated variables can come together in a statistical tango. As we endeavor to uncover further unexpected connections in the world of statistics, we are reminded that sometimes, the cheesiest relationships are the most illuminating.

The findings of our study undeniably bolster the previously established research on the interrelationship between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Nepal. As proposed by "Jones," our results affirm the existence of a substantial and positively glowing correlation between these seemingly incongruous variables. Much like the unanticipated pairing of a pungent gouda with a robust red wine, the connection between American cheese and solar power in Nepal has transcended initial skepticism to attract keen scholarly attention – and, dare I say, a fervent appetite for further exploration.
Our statistically significant correlation coefficient of 0.9519517 lends weight to the assertion made by "Smith et al." regarding the upward trajectory of American cheese consumption in the United States. In a delicious twist of fate, it appears that this surge in cheese indulgence may indeed hold a melty influence over the solar energy landscape in Nepal. This correlation, while esoteric at first glance, underscores the potential for unexpected connections to illuminate otherwise obscure phenomena – much like stumbling upon an unexpected pun in the midst of an academic discussion.
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.9062120, as emphasized by "Doe et al.," highlights the substantial proportion of variation in solar power generation in Nepal that can be elucidated by fluctuations in American cheese consumption. It seems as though the whims of cheese aficionados in the United States may hold a sway that extends far beyond culinary realms, extending to the renewable energy sector in Nepal – a notion that, dare I say, adds a delectably cheesy flavor to the discourse on sustainable energy.
In line with the findings of "Jones," the p-value of less than 0.01 provides compelling evidence of the statistical significance underlying this curious correlation. This rigorous level of statistical support further bolsters the notion that the association between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Nepal is not just a fortuitous quirk of our analysis – it is a genuinely substantive relationship that merits deeper investigation, much like a good cheese pun that never fails to grate on one's sensibilities.
In light of these results, it becomes apparent that the connection between American cheese consumption and solar power generation in Nepal transcends mere statistical curiosities. It beckons us to evaluate the potential implications of this discovery on both the culinary landscape and the energy sector. It fosters an intellectual appetite for exploring the hitherto overlooked threads that weave together seemingly disparate elements of human consumption and global sustainability – much like seeking the perfect pairing of cheese and wine, or, in this case, cheese and solar power.
As we embark on subsequent endeavors to unpack the underlying mechanisms and profound implications of this unexpected relationship, we are reminded that in the vast veritable smorgasbord of statistical analysis, even the most peculiar findings can hold profound implications. It is the unexpected correlations – the cheese and solar power duets, if you will – that add a dash of whimsy to the otherwise rigorous pursuit of scientific inquiry. And, in the spirit of scientific camaraderie, it seems only fitting to offer a dad joke before bidding adieu: What did the cheese say to the solar panel? You're grate at soaking up the sun!

From Cheddar to Solar Power: Illuminating the Relationship Between American Cheese Consumption and Solar Energy in Nepal
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we explore the apparent connection between American cheese consumption in the United States and solar power production in Nepal. Leveraging data from the USDA for cheese consumption and the Energy Information Administration for solar power generation, we conducted a thorough analysis to shed light on this unusual relationship. Our findings revealed a positively glowing correlation coefficient of 0.9519517 and a sublimely significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning 2007 to 2021.
Our results suggest a curiously strong association between the per capita American cheese consumption in the U.S. and the solar power output in Nepal. It seems that as Americans indulged in more cheesy delights, the solar energy generation capacity in Nepal also surged, indicating a tantalizingly cheesy influence on sustainable energy practices.
As we delve deeper into the murky mystery of cheese and solar energy, we could not help but chuckle at the sheer gouda-ness of this correlation. Evidently, the power of sunlight and the allure of cheddar might be more interlinked than we initially thought. This revelation prompts us to fondue further research into the captivating dynamics of dairy delicacies and renewable energy sources. After all, it's not every day that science offers such a delectably cheesy connection.

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 = 0.9062120 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Solar power generated in Nepal) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., American cheese consumption) over the 15 years from 2007 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.7E-8. 0.0000000472078189672696300000
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 0.95 in 4.7E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 21,182,932 random variables You don't actually need 21 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 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.
[ 0.86, 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
- 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. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
