[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The perplexing relationship between solar power generation in Sweden and the stock price of Amazon.com (AMZN) has captivated researchers and investors alike, inviting exploration into this unexpected correlation that is as elusive as a solar eclipse on a cloudy day. To illuminate this intriguing connection, we delve into an array of scholarly works and texts that scrutinize the solar-powered enigma and the radiance of Amazon's stock through lenses as diverse as a solar spectrum.
Smith and Doe (2017) lay the foundation for our inquiry by analyzing the economic impact of solar power adoption in Scandinavian countries. Their findings shed light on the systemic transformation brought about by solar energy, but the connection to stock market dynamics remains as cryptic as a sunspot's dance. In a similar vein, Jones et al. (2020) investigate the behavioral shifts in consumer spending patterns following the expansion of solar power infrastructure. While their insights provide a glimpse into the illumination of market forces, the correlation with Amazon's stock price remains shrouded in solar flare-induced uncertainty.
Turning to more mainstream literary sources, "The Grid" by Gretchen Bakke and "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein offer poignant reflections on the societal impact of renewable energy adoption. However, they both blushingly admit that the correlation between solar energy in Sweden and the stock price of Amazon.com leaves them as bewildered as a squirrel in a solar panel maze.
Venturing into the realm of speculative fiction, "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem and "The Three-Body Problem" by Liu Cixin present compelling narratives featuring cosmic phenomena and scientific puzzles. While these works delve into otherworldly mysteries, the interstellar connection between Swedish solar power and Amazon's stock price remains as distant as a comet in the Kuiper Belt.
In the realm of board games, "Power Grid" and "Stockpile" offer playful simulations of energy logistics and stock trading. However, their entertaining gameplay fails to shed light on the shadowy correlation between solar power in Sweden and the exuberance of Amazon's stock price, leaving researchers to navigate this enigma with as much uncertainty as a penguin in a solar-powered submarine.
As we navigate through these scholarly and lighthearted sources, it becomes evident that the association between Swedish solar power and Amazon's stock price eludes straightforward explanation, akin to a sunbeam bouncing off a funhouse mirror. Nevertheless, our investigation aims to unravel this enigmatic connection, shining a light on a correlation that is as surprising as finding a solar-powered snow machine in the Sahara desert. So, let us embark on this radiant research journey, ready to confront the unexpected and embrace the unexpected twists and turns that await us in the solar swirls and stock market rollercoaster.

[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the data collected from 2002 to 2021 revealed a solar system of correlations between solar power generation in Sweden and the stock price of Amazon.com (AMZN). The correlation coefficient of 0.9851334 indicated a strikingly strong positive relationship between these two seemingly unrelated phenomena. This correlation glows as bright as a solar flare, illuminating the unexpected interconnection between solar energy and the market radiance of Amazon's stock. The r-squared value of 0.9704877 further confirmed the robustness of this association, suggesting that approximately 97.05% of the variability in Amazon's stock price can be explained by the variability in solar power generation in Sweden.
The p-value being less than 0.01 provides overwhelming evidence against the null hypothesis of no relationship, signaling that this solar-powered bond with Amazon's stock price is not just a flash in the pan, but a statistically significant phenomenon. It's as if the sun decided to invest its radiant energy in Amazon stock and that bet paid off like a solar jackpot.
The Figure 1 scatterplot depicted a clear pattern resembling the celestial dance of planets, demonstrating the tight embrace between solar power generation in Sweden and Amazon's stock price. This visual representation added a colorful dimension to the correlation, painting a vivid picture of the solar-powered ascent of Amazon's stock on the canvas of statistical analysis.
The findings reveal an unexpected synergy between the solar-powered effervescence of Sweden and the market magnetism of Amazon's stock. This discovery not only sheds light on the solar-powered upward trajectory of Amazon's stock but also elucidates the sun's capacity to shine on the financial landscape in unexpected and delightful ways. It's as if the solar panels in Sweden were directly beaming their energy into Amazon's stock, propelling it to new heights, much like a superhero powered by solar photons.
In conclusion, the connection between solar power generated in Sweden and Amazon's stock price goes beyond a mere statistical phenomenon; it resonates with cosmic energy, transcending traditional boundaries and shedding light on the enigmatic dance of solar power and stock market dynamics. So, let's raise our glasses and toast to this solar swirl of stock market shenanigans, for it has certainly brightened our understanding of the interconnected universe of solar energy and stock prices!

Correlation r = 0.9851334 (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 = 0.9704877 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Amazon.com's stock price (AMZN)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in Sweden) over the 20 years from 2002 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.2E-15. 0.0000000000000031926081184018
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 0.99 in 3.2E-13% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 313,223,534,775,885 random variables You don't actually need 313 trillion 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.

[ 0.96, 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.
