[[INTRODUCTION]]
The relationship between environmental factors and consumer behavior has long been a topic of interest for researchers and policymakers alike. From the impact of climate change on agricultural production to the influence of air quality on public health, the interconnectedness of our environment and human activities is undeniable. However, it is not every day that one comes across a correlation as unexpected as the one we discovered in our study – the apparent link between air pollution levels in Fort Payne, Alabama, and the number of registered Honda motorcycles in the United Kingdom. It's almost as surprising as finding a four-cylinder engine in a Smart car – quite unusual!
Navigating through the sea of data, we found ourselves exploring the realms of atmospheric chemistry and international trade, making this investigation as exhilarating as a thrilling motorcycle ride on a scenic route. Who would have thought that the air in an Alabama town could have an impact on the motorbike preferences of individuals across the Atlantic? It's as baffling as trying to find a needle in a haystack, or in this case, a motorcycle in a fog of pollution.
As researchers, we are accustomed to unraveling complex phenomena, but the discovery of a negative correlation coefficient of -0.9350161 between air pollution levels in Fort Payne and Honda motorcycle registrations in the UK left us scratching our heads – and not because of the helmet itch. From a statistical standpoint, the significance of this association is as clear as the view from the top of a mountain – which is to say, very. But what does this mean in practical terms? It's as enigmatic as trying to guess the top speed of a silent electric motorcycle – a real head-scratcher!
The implications of our findings extend beyond mere statistical curiosities. Understanding the link between air pollution levels and consumer choices can have meaningful implications for public policies and environmental regulations. The quirky nature of this relationship motivated us to delve deeper into the mysteries of consumer behavior, leaving us pondering why anyone would ever want to ride anything other than a Honda motorcycle – after all, they're wheely good!

The connection between environmental factors and consumer behavior has been a focal point of scholarly inquiry in various domains. Smith (2017) examined the influence of air pollution on consumer preferences, primarily focusing on vehicular choices. Doe (2015) delved into the ramifications of environmental degradation on international trade and global consumer trends. On the surface, such inquiries may seem as unlikely as a motorbike on an ice rink, but they lay the groundwork for understanding the unexpected correlation we have uncovered.
In "The Economics of Air Pollution," authors Brown and Green (2019) analyze the economic impacts of air pollution on consumer behavior and market demands. Their work provides insights into the interconnectedness of environmental factors and consumer choices, proving that the effects of air pollution stretch further than smog in the city.
Moving beyond the realm of academic literature, we ventured into the world of non-fiction books such as "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore and "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein, which shed light on the far-reaching consequences of environmental degradation on human behavior. The mere thought of reading these heavyweight tomes while astride a Honda motorcycle prompts a question: would that be considered a "heavy read"?
Transitioning into the realm of fiction, books like "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy and "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel explore post-apocalyptic scenarios caused by environmental disasters, offering a glimpse of a world where motorcycle registrations might not take precedence. It's almost as bleak as the thought of a two-seater scooter – a real "pick-me-up."
Delving into the light-hearted side, the animated series "Captain Planet" and the children's show "The Magic School Bus" underscore the importance of environmental awareness and its impact on daily life. These shows present environmental issues with as much gusto as a motorbike enthusiast at a dealership, demonstrating the significant influence of air pollution on societal values.

We carefully examined the trends in Honda motorcycle registrations, resembling sleuths hot on the trail of a particularly elusive suspect. Uncovering the intricacies of consumer behavior across borders revealed insights as fascinating as discovering a hidden compartment in a sleek motorcycle design.
To measure the strength and direction of the relationship between air pollution levels in Fort Payne and Honda motorcycle registrations in the UK, we employed the Pearson correlation coefficient, employing the assistance of our trusty statistical tools. Like a perfectly executed wheelie, this statistical analysis allowed us to quantify the degree of association between these seemingly disparate variables, illuminating the unexpected dance of environmental conditions and consumer choices. Our findings provided a more delightful surprise than stumbling upon a rare vintage motorcycle in a forgotten garage.
Furthermore, we conducted a time series analysis to detect any temporal patterns in the correlation, akin to adjusting the timing of a motorcycle engine for optimal performance. This enabled us to discern whether the strength of the relationship fluctuated over the years, adding a dynamic dimension to our investigation. Our thorough exploration of the sequential nature of the data revealed insights as unexpected as finding a sidecar attached to a sleek sports bike.
In addition, we employed a battery of robustness checks, akin to stress-testing a motorcycle engine, to ensure the reliability and validity of our findings. These meticulous checks scrutinized the stability of the correlation under varying conditions, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of methodological rigor. After all, a research study without robustness checks is like a motorcycle without a kickstand – prone to wobbling!
Throughout our methodology, we maintained a keen eye for the unexpected and the thought-provoking, recognizing that scientific inquiry benefits from the occasional detour into whimsy. Like the exhilarating sensation of a motorcycle ride through uncharted territory, our methodology balanced precision with a touch of playful curiosity – after all, what's a research journey without a few unexpected twists and turns?

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into the unexpected and peculiar correlation between air pollution levels in Fort Payne, Alabama, and the number of registered Honda motorcycles in the United Kingdom. Our research team utilized data from the Environmental Protection Agency and Statista to address this quirky intersection of environmental and consumer behavior. Upon examining the data from 2000 to 2007, we discovered a strikingly strong negative correlation coefficient of -0.9350161, with a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01.
The findings of this investigation provide intriguing insights into the potential effects of air quality on transcontinental motorcycle preferences. While it may sound like a "gas," our results suggest that higher air pollution levels in Fort Payne, Alabama, are curiously associated with an increase in Honda motorcycle registrations in the UK. This unexpected discovery raises important questions about the interplay of environmental factors and consumer choices across borders. As we unravel the mysteries of this correlation, we are reminded of the timeless advice: "When in doubt, rev it out!"
[[INTRDUCTION]]
The relationship between environmental factors and consumer behavior has long been a topic of interest for researchers and policymakers alike. From the impact of climate change on agricultural production to the influence of air quality on public health, the interconnectedness of our environment and human activities is undeniable.

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 = 0.8742551 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Number of registered Honda motorcycles in the UK) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Fort Payne, Alabama) over the 8 years from 2000 through 2007.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00065. 0.0006530502842231305000000000
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 0.065% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,531 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.
[ -0.99, -0.68 ] 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. - Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
- 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. - Inverted Y-axis: I inverted the Y-axis on the chart above so that the lines would move together. This is visually pleasing, but not at all intuitive. Below is a line graph that does not invert the Y-axis.
