[[INTRODUCTION]]

The LockPickingLawyer, a YouTube sensation known for his wry humor and nimble fingers, has captivated audiences with his fascinating and educational videos on the art of picking locks. While his videos are a treasure trove of information for lock enthusiasts and aspiring locksmiths, they have also piqued the curiosity of researchers seeking to understand the broader implications of his content. No one could have predicted that an unconventional hobby like lock picking would become the subject of an unlikely academic inquiry, but here we are, delving into the uncharted territory of the relationship between the LockPickingLawyer's YouTube titles and the curious patterns of burglaries in the sunflower state, Kansas.

The juxtaposition of a charismatic lock-picking virtuoso and the criminal underworld may seem like the plot of a Hollywood heist movie, but rest assured, dear reader, this is no mere flight of fancy. Our inquiry into this unlikely correlation is rooted in a rigorous analysis of data and a determination to uncover the truth behind this peculiar puzzle. With our proverbial Sherlock Holmes hat firmly in place, we set out to scrutinize the captivating charm of the LockPickingLawyer's video titles and their potential impact on the incidence of burglaries in the heartland of America.

As we embark on this journey of discovery, it is worth noting that the task ahead is as multifaceted as the secrets of the most intricate lock mechanism. We are not merely examining the words that adorn the thumbnails of YouTube videos; we are seeking to unravel the intertwined threads of entertainment, education, and, dare we say, incitement. The LockPickingLawyer's titles are not just mere descriptors of his exploits; they are carefully crafted nuggets of intrigue that beckon viewers to indulge in the art of lock manipulation. And who can blame them? The allure of clever wordplay and the promise of witnessing feats of dexterous lock-picking wizardry are undoubtedly compelling.

Our foray into this enigmatic territory aims to unpack the enigma of how a virtuoso locksmith, armed with nothing but a set of picks and a quick wit, could inadvertently become a theatrical maestro orchestrating a symphony of break-ins. It is a tale of unexpected symmetries and jarring juxtapositions, where the intrigue of entertainment collides headlong with the harsh realities of crime. And yet, it is precisely this collision that fuels our curiosity and propels us deeper into the maelstrom of analysis and interpretation.

Amidst the clinks and clanks of tumblers falling into place, we invite you to join us on this colorful investigation, as we seek to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of human behavior, online content consumption, and the clandestine world of lock-related mischief. With our trusty statistical tools in hand and a healthy dose of skepticism, we aim to shed light on the unexpected ties that bind the LockPickingLawyer's engaging titles to the unassuming doorways of Kansas homes.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our study has unraveled an unexpected and rather bizarre correlation between the captivating titles of LockPickingLawyer's YouTube videos and the occurrences of burglaries in the state of Kansas. The statistical evidence overwhelmingly supports the notion that his insightful titles may have inadvertently influenced criminal behavior, leaving us grappling with the puzzling question of how a charming lock-picking connoisseur could inadvertently become an unwitting catalyst for unlawful activities.

The strength and robustness of the correlation coefficient, coupled with the compellingly low p-value, leave little room for doubt regarding the surprising relationship between online entertainment and real-world criminogenic tendencies. It's as if the LockPickingLawyer's video titles possess an enchanting allure that beckons would-be burglars to test their own dexterity in gaining illicit entry, adding a whole new meaning to the term "key influencers."

While our findings may seem like a twist straight out of a gripping heist plot, they underscore the need to acknowledge the unforeseen impacts of entertaining online content on societal behavior. The LockPickingLawyer, unwittingly or not, has tapped into an unforeseen avenue of influence, showcasing the profound power of engaging storytelling – or should we say "tumbler-twirling tales" – in shaping human actions.

However, it's worth noting that our findings, as startling and intriguing as they may be, do not imply causation. While we've unlocked a significant correlation, delving deeper into the causal mechanisms behind this relationship is a task that requires further exploration. Nevertheless, we are confident that our study has opened a door – pun intended – to a new frontier of inquiry in the intersection of online entertainment and criminal proclivity.

In the spirit of academic inquiry and a fondness for unlocking mysteries, we submit that this study, for now, stands as a unique testament to the unexpected connections that lurk in the labyrinth of human behavior. With that said, we firmly assert that no further research is needed in this area, as it seems to have already been "picked" to perfection.

See what else correlates with Burglaries in Kansas

Correlation r = 0.9848441 (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 = 0.9699178 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Burglaries in Kansas) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How insightful LockPickingLawyer YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.6E-6. 0.0000086047614862734540000000
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 0.98 in 0.00086% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 116,215 random variables You don't actually need 116 thousand 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 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.

[ 0.92, 1 ] 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. 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.
  5. 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.
