Correlations between Google search data and Mortality Rates

Applications 2012-10-09 v2 Information Retrieval

Abstract

Inspired by correlations recently discovered between Google search data and financial markets, we show correlations between Google search data mortality rates. Words with negative connotations may provide for increased mortality rates, while words with positive connotations may provide for decreased mortality rates, and so statistical methods were employed to determine to investigate further.
