[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the realm of sports nutrition, the pursuit of peak athletic performance often leads to scrutiny of the most peculiar dietary choices. While the role of protein shakes and energy bars in fueling elite athletes has been exhaustively studied, the potential influence of a more humble dairy product has, until now, gone unnoticed. Yogurt, with its creamy texture and probiotic allure, has long been celebrated for its purported health benefits. However, its connection to the world of professional American football has remained a curiously unexplored frontier, ripe for investigation.

The present study sets out to probe the intriguing relationship between yogurt consumption and the total points scored by the New England Patriots, an emblematic force in the National Football League (NFL). As the Patriots tower over the gridiron with their enduring legacy of athleticism and strategic finesse, one cannot help but wonder if their on-field success is somehow entangled with the consumption of this fermented dairy delight.

With the precision of a quarterback's throw, this investigation meticulously combs through data spanning three decades, from 1990 to 2021, sourced from the stalwart repositories of the United States Department of Agriculture and Pro-football-reference. The resulting analysis yields patterns that transcend mere statistical happenstance, pointing to a robust correlation that tantalizingly beckons further exploration.

The intricate interplay between nutrient-rich yogurt and the Patriots' scoring prowess presents an opportunity to savor the unexpected blend of gastronomy and gridiron glory. As we embark on this empirical odyssey, let us unpack the knotty interconnections, navigate the tangy twists, and perhaps even encounter some cheesy revelations along the way.

The convergence of these lines of inquiry suggests that yogurt consumption may indeed manifest its curdled influence on the Patriots' scoring prowess, painting a tantalizing portrait of gridiron victory with a yogurt-infused brush.

Moreover, the literature review, though seemingly whimsical at first glance, unearthed subtle parallels and colorful insights that resonated with the findings of our investigation. The notion that "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, while not directly addressing yogurt or football, may harbor relevant strategic insights, finds a curious echo in our contemplation of the implications of yogurt consumption on the Patriots' offensive strategy. Just as Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom transcends the domains of warfare, the significance of yogurt in shaping athletic success permeates the boundaries of traditional sports nutrition paradigms. Similarly, the unexpected encounters with supermarket receipts and classified advertisements for vintage yogurt-making equipment, while initially considered humorous, point to the expansive breadth of factors that may underpin the dairy-fueled pathway to gridiron triumph.

The substantial r-squared value further endorses the pivotal role of yogurt in shaping the Patriots' scoring output, elucidating that approximately 62.5% of the variability in the team's total points can be attributed to the variability in yogurt consumption. This dairy-induced explanatory power underscores the formidable influence of yogurt on the team's offensive performance, reminiscent of a trustworthy quarterback orchestrating a flawlessly executed scoring drive. Such a substantial explanatory power reiterates the creamy significance of yogurt in the playbook of athletic achievement, inviting us to relish the multifaceted flavors of its impact on the gridiron.

As we gaze at the scatterplot, vividly capturing the strong correlation between yogurt consumption and the Patriots' scoring performance, we are reminded of the captivating fusion of seemingly incongruous elements that can define sporting success. Such a delightful blend of yogurt and gridiron prowess not only enriches our understanding of sports nutrition but also injects a dose of dairy-infused whimsy into the sometimes dry realm of statistical analyses.

In conclusion, the present study propels the unconventional relationship between yogurt consumption and the total points scored by the New England Patriots into the spotlight of sports science, infusing the gastronomic narrative of athletic performance with a tangy twist. The curdled complexities of this yogurt-ious association beckon further exploration, encouraging researchers to dissect its flavorful nuances and consider the implications for shaping athletic strategies.

Correlation r = 0.7906202 (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 = 0.6250804 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 62.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total Points scored by the New England Patriots in the NFL season) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Yogurt consumption) over the 32 years from 1990 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.3E-8. 0.0000000729548169697448700000
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 0.79 in 7.3E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 13,707,114 random variables You don't actually need 13 million 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.

[ 0.61, 0.89 ] 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.
