[[INTRODUCTION]]

The connection between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso may seem as mismatched as Swiss and blue cheese, but recent data suggests there might be more to this pairing than meets the eye. While the phrase "cheese power" may conjure up images of pun-induced eye-rolls, our research aims to seriously investigate the potential link between the indulgence in cheddar and the rise of renewable energy in a far-flung corner of the globe.

Cheese has long been a staple in the American diet, gracing everything from hamburgers to macaroni and cheese and melting hearts with its gooey goodness. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, has been making strides in renewable energy production, harnessing the power of the sun and wind to fuel its development. The seemingly unrelated paths of American cheese and Burkina Faso's renewable energy initiatives intersect in our study, providing a gouda opportunity to delve into the unexplored crossover of dairy cravings and sustainable energy solutions.

While the initial reaction to this inquiry might be a polite "cheddar-not," our rigorous analysis has uncovered a correlation between these seemingly dissonant factors. The correlation coefficient of 0.8914143, accompanied by a p-value of less than 0.01, has left us with a statistical brew-ha-ha and a lingering question: is there something more than mere coincidence at play here? The implications of this correlation prompt us to explore the potential impact of cheese consumption patterns on renewable energy development in Burkina Faso and the provol-one-ger term implications for global sustainable energy strategies.

Our research beckons for a deeper examination of the ripple effects of dietary choices across international borders and into the realm of sustainable energy production. Join us as we embark on a journey that promises to be a gouda deal of fun and potentially unveil a gouda-licious connection that may have been overlooked in the annals of food and energy research.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The authors find that the connection between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso has not been extensively explored in existing literature. Smith et al. (2018) discuss the impact of dairy products on global food habits, but fail to delve into the potential link between cheese consumption and sustainable energy development in a specific, landlocked West African nation. Furthermore, Doe and Jones (2014) examine the role of renewable energy in emerging economies, yet omit any discussion of dairy products as a potential driver of sustainable energy initiatives.

Expanding beyond the immediate realm of academic research, "Cheese: A Global History" by Andrew Dalby provides an in-depth exploration of the cultural, social, and culinary significance of cheese consumption worldwide. While "The Energy Non-Crisis" by Lindsay Curren offers a comprehensive analysis of alternative energy solutions, it regrettably neglects to mention the potential influence of American cheese on renewable energy production in developing countries.

On a more fictional note, J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" presents a world filled with magical spells and enchanted artifacts, but lacks any mention of the impact of dairy consumption on sustainable energy development in the Muggle realm. Similarly, George Orwell's "Animal Farm" provides a satirical allegory of political systems, yet omits any reference to the potential correlation between cheese consumption and renewable energy production among the animal inhabitants.

As for popular internet memes, the "Cheese Challenge" in which individuals attempt to fling slices of cheese onto unsuspecting pets mirrors the unpredictability of the correlation between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. The "Renewable Energy Cat" meme, featuring a feline with an environmentally friendly expression, humorously encapsulates the unexpected implications of dairy-based energy interventions.

The dearth of existing literature on the connection between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso highlights the novelty and urgency of our research endeavor. The literature reviewed serves as a precursor to the unveiling of the comically unexpected and potentially transformative relationship between these seemingly unrelated phenomena.

[[TITLE]]
From Gouda to Green: Exploring the Edam-nificent Connection Between American Cheese Consumption and Renewable Energy Production in Burkina Faso

[[ABSTRACT]]
The study deepens our understanding of the interplay between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. Utilizing data from the USDA and the Energy Information Administration, our research team observed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.8914143 and p < 0.01 from 1990 to 2021. The findings suggest that as Americans consume more cheese, the renewable energy production in Burkina Faso sees a brie-ght increase. Whether it's the whey in which the data is analyzed or a cheddar of coincidences, our research opens a window into the unexplored realm of dairy-based energy interventions. We hope this study curd spark further investigation into unconventional connections between global food habits and sustainable energy development.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The connection between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso may seem as mismatched as Swiss and blue cheese, but recent data suggests there might be more to this pairing than meets the eye. While the phrase "cheese power" may conjure up images of pun-induced eye-rolls, our research aims to seriously investigate the potential link between the indulgence in cheddar and the rise of renewable energy in a far-flung corner of the globe.
Cheese has long been a staple in the American diet, gracing everything from hamburgers to macaroni and cheese and melting hearts with its gooey goodness. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, has been making strides in renewable energy production, harnessing the power of the sun and wind to fuel its development. The seemingly unrelated paths of American cheese and Burkina Faso's renewable energy initiatives intersect in our study, providing a gouda opportunity to delve into the unexplored crossover of dairy cravings and sustainable energy solutions.
While the initial reaction to this inquiry might be a polite "cheddar-not," our rigorous analysis has uncovered a correlation between these seemingly dissonant factors. The correlation coefficient of 0.8914143, accompanied by a p-value of less than 0.01, has left us with a statistical brew-ha-ha and a lingering question: is there something more than mere coincidence at play here? The implications of this correlation prompt us to explore the potential impact of cheese consumption patterns on renewable energy development in Burkina Faso and the provol-one-ger term implications for global sustainable energy strategies.
Our research beckons for a deeper examination of the ripple effects of dietary choices across international borders and into the realm of sustainable energy production. Join us as we embark on a journey that promises to be a gouda deal of fun and potentially unveil a gouda-licious connection that may have been overlooked in the annals of food and energy research.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data collected revealed a robust correlation between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. The correlation coefficient of 0.8914143 indicates a strong positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. This suggests that as American cheese consumption increased over the years, there was a corresponding surge in renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. The r-squared value of 0.7946194 further reinforces the strength of this relationship, indicating that approximately 79.46% of the variability in renewable energy production in Burkina Faso can be explained by changes in American cheese consumption.
The p-value of less than 0.01 provides strong evidence against the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. This indicates that the observed correlation is not merely due to random chance, but rather suggests a meaningful connection between these seemingly disparate factors. It appears that the phrase "cheese power" may hold more weight than initially thought.
The striking nature of this correlation is visually depicted in Fig. 1, a scatterplot illustrating the strong positive relationship between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso. The figure portrays a compelling trend, reflecting the intriguing intertwining of these variables. The strength of this correlation prompts further inquiry into the potential mechanisms underlying this unexpected connection.
These findings shed light on the unexplored relationship between global food consumption patterns and sustainable energy development, and they invite a contemplation of the potential impacts of dietary choices on energy initiatives in distant corners of the world. While the interplay between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso may seem a bit cheesy on the surface, it certainly presents a thought-provoking avenue for future research and exploration.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our investigation into the connection between American cheese consumption and renewable energy production in Burkina Faso has produced some gouda-licious findings. The robust correlation coefficient and low p-value suggest that there is more to this pairing than meets the eye, contrary to what skeptics may have parmesanally believed. The r-squared value further reinforces this unexpected relationship, indicating that changes in American cheese consumption can explain approximately 79.46% of the variability in renewable energy production in Burkina Faso, a correlation that is feta-stounding.

While the idea that cheese could power sustainable energy initiatives may elicit a few eye-rolls, there is no denying the cheddar of truth in our findings. The statistical brew-ha-ha leaves us pondering the potential ramifications of this unexplored crossover. Could Burkina Faso's renewable energy success be partly fueled by the fondue craze in Wisconsin?

It appears that this unexpected connection curd lead to further exploration of the interplay between global food habits and sustainable energy development. However, it is crucial to remain cautionary and not jump to hasty conclusions. Correlation does not always imply causation, and we must brie careful in extrapolating too much from this single study, as tempting as it may be to dive into this gouda-sea of hypotheses.

While our findings may seem a little cheesy, they open the door to further examination of the potential impact of dietary choices on global energy strategies. However, we believe that this study provides a whey forward in this field, and additional research in this area may be considered a bit too much of a gouda thing. After all, sometimes it's best to leave the curd alone.

In a nutshell, it may be time to wrap up this discussion and declare that no further research is needed in this cheese-tremely niche area.

Correlation r = 0.8914143 (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 = 0.7946194 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 79.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Renewable energy production in Burkina Faso) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., American cheese consumption) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.8E-12. 0.0000000000078456306377172260
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 7.8E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 127,459,479,827 random variables You don't actually need 127 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 31 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 31 because we have two variables measured over a period of 32 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.

[ 0.79, 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

  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.
  4. 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.
