    According to my graphs they don’t seem to correlate at all.

      They correlate about as well as respiration rate and Sp02. I know that’s a silly comparison, but hopefully, we’re all learning a little more about statistics in the context of epistemology.

    I love it. The more colorful correlations serve to chip away at the robust correlation is causation illusion.

      My favorite that I use in my stats class is Nic Cage movies and drowning. Its the same as Ice Cream Sales and Drowning, but I get to use images of Nic Cage.

    This is the kind of overfitting our machine-learning overlords will find as we operate the data centers with more fossil fuels. Amazing! /s

    His career peaked in the 1980s, and people stopped naming their kids after him.

Post your correlation, but it better be funny damn it.

Note: Please keep it funny, and not political . There are plenty of other places on Lemmy to post more serious type of content.

This is a community just for some fun based on the spurious correlations website made by a university student.

https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random

I have no relation to him, but you can visit the link above and see any random correlation that you want.

You can make your own with no graphics or programming knowledge from imgflip here

If you do actually follow the link you will see not only the graph but an ai generated explanation and an AI scholarly paper that supports these correlations.

Who knows what is going to happen when the AIs pick up these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data. Anyone who wants to post a better blank graph can do so.
