[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Anthropological Influx in Texas: A Comparative Study of Educator Population Growth" by Smith et al., the authors find a significant upward trend in the number of anthropology and archeology teachers in Texas over the past decade. This trend aligns with the growing interest in the study of human cultural evolution and material remains among educational institutions in the Lone Star State. Moreover, Doe's study "The Archaeology Boom: Unearthing Career Trends in Texas" reveals a parallel surge in the demand for archaeology educators, creating a harmonious symphony of academic pursuits.

Building upon these scholarly works, Jones et al. in "YouTube and Education: Online Engagement in the Digital Age" shed light on the captivating nature of educational content on YouTube. The study delves into the ways in which digital platforms serve as conduits for knowledge dissemination and engagement. While their focus is not specifically on anthropology and archaeology, the underlying principles of online educational content consumption are pertinent to our investigation.

Transitioning to non-fiction works, "Bones, Stones, and Everything in Between" by Archaeo Authore elucidates the intersection of human history and digital engagement. The book navigates the terrain of pop culture's fascination with archaeological discoveries, drawing parallels to the internet's insatiable appetite for captivating content. Meanwhile, "Anthro Adoration: The Enduring Appeal of Human Culture" by Cultural Curious examines the multifaceted allure of anthropology, addressing how the study of human societies continues to enthrall individuals across diverse mediums, be it in the classroom or on digital platforms.

In a departure from the traditional scholarly canon, the fictional realm offers unique perspectives that are surprisingly relevant to our inquiry. "The YouTube Archaeologist" by Diggy Delver and "Anthropology Adventures: Unraveling Mysteries through Internet Exploration" by Quester Quirk showcase the imaginative fusion of academic exploration and digital media in storytelling. While these works may not contribute directly to empirical evidence, they do provide intriguing narratives that parallel the synergistic connection we seek to unravel.

Furthermore, delving into the realm of children's entertainment, the animated series "Digging Dino Dreams" and the educational show "Archaeology Antics" offer glimpses of how young minds are introduced to the wonders of anthropology and archaeology. While these may seem like trivial diversions, they offer insight into the early seeds of fascination that may later blossom into engaged viewers leaving comments on educational YouTube videos.

This eclectic array of literature sets the stage for our investigation, weaving together a tapestry of academia, digital engagement, and unexpected sources of insight. As we navigate through these diverse narratives, we are poised to uncover the unexpected threads that bind the pedagogical landscape of Texas to the captivating allure of Be Smart YouTube videos.

Correlation r = 0.9337993 (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 = 0.8719811 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total comments on 'Be Smart' science YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of anthropology and archeology teachers in Texas) over the 10 years from 2013 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.8E-5. 0.0000775359450023414300000000
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 0.93 in 0.0078% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 12,897 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.

[ 0.74, 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

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
