[[INTRODUCTION]]

Magic, mystery, and muggles collide in this enchanting research paper as we delve into the whimsical world of Harry Potter and its curious connection to the academic realm. The bewitching allure of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world has captivated audiences around the globe, but could it also hold a spellbinding influence on the number of university communications teachers in the state of Wisconsin? In this paper, we aim to unravel this mystical correlation between the global revenue of Harry Potter movies and the employment trends of communications educators in the cheese-loving state.

As we know, Harry Potter movies have garnered immense commercial success, drawing in droves of fans who have been bewitched by the charming spells of the young wizard and his friends. Meanwhile, Wisconsin, known for its dairy products, American football, and picturesque landscapes, may not seem like the most likely setting for a magical discovery. However, our research endeavors to unveil the hidden enchantments that may be at play in this seemingly ordinary state.

While our investigation may seem far-fetched to some, we approach this topic with the seriousness and curiosity it deserves. After all, as the great Albus Dumbledore once said, "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, unless, of course, those dreams involve conducting statistical analyses on cultural phenomena." Or something like that.

Join us on this mystical journey as we combine the powers of statistical analysis and the charm of Harry Potter to uncover whether there is indeed a magical link between the revenue of Harry Potter movies and the number of university communications teachers in Wisconsin. Who knows, our findings may just be the magic potion that brings a new perspective to the world of academia. So, grab your wands, don your wizard robes, and let's dive into this magical investigation!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The peculiar relationship between the worldwide revenue of Harry Potter movies and the number of university communications teachers in Wisconsin has sparked both intrigue and skepticism within academic circles. Lending a touch of whimsy to this discussion, Smith et al. (2015) found that there was a statistically significant correlation between the release of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and the surge in job postings for communications educators in the state of Wisconsin. This unexpected finding piqued the interest of researchers and prompted further investigation into the fantastical influences at play.

In "Wands and Words: The Magic of Communication in the Wizarding World," Doe and Jones (2017) delved into the linguistic and rhetorical strategies employed by characters in the Harry Potter series, drawing parallels to effective communication techniques in academia. Their exploration of persuasive speech and intercultural communication in the wizarding realm provided an insightful lens through which to examine the potential impact of Harry Potter on the field of communications education.

Moving beyond the realm of academic publications, the influence of Harry Potter on popular culture and societal norms cannot be overstated. Books such as "The Psychology of Harry Potter" by Lorem Ipsum (2006) and "Harry Potter and the Millennials: Research Methods and the Politics of Childhood" by Ipsum Ipsum (2004) have explored the profound impact of the series on readers' psyches and social identities. Perhaps it is not farfetched to consider that such widespread fascination with the magical world could manifest in unexpected ways, even within the domain of higher education.

As we navigate through this maze of scholarly inquiry, it is worth considering fictional works that may offer insightful parallels to our investigation. "The Sorcerer's Stone: An Empirical Analysis of Magical Philosopher's Stones" by Dumbledore and Grindelwald (1927) may not provide direct guidance on our research topic, but the allegorical analysis of mythical objects could provide a metaphorical roadmap for understanding the symbolic power of cultural phenomena on academic trends.

Drawing inspiration from unexpected sources, we turned our attention to children's shows and cartoons that may offer hidden wisdom. The magical prowess of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and the whimsical world of "The Magic School Bus" may seem unrelated to our scholarly pursuit, but their whimsy and wonder may provide a lighthearted perspective on the mystical forces that shape our societal fabric.

In the next section, we will present our own findings, which will not only illuminate the correlation between Harry Potter movie revenue and communication teachers in Wisconsin but also bring a touch of magic to the world of academic research. With our analytical wands at the ready, let us embark on this fantastical journey of discovery!

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To embark on our fantastical study, we first muggled our way into the realm of data collection. We obtained information on the worldwide revenue of Harry Potter movies from the enchanting archives of the beloved Wikipedia. Although some might scoff at the reliability of this source, we reassured ourselves by muttering "Accio accurate information!" under our breath before extracting the data.

Next, in our pursuit of uncovering the mysterious link between the magical world of Harry Potter and the academic landscape of Wisconsin, we delved into the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to gather data on the number of university communications teachers in the aforementioned cheese-infused state. Like wizards mastering their spells, we meticulously gathered information from the years 2003 to 2011, fervently hoping for a statistical revelation that would leave even Hermione Granger awe-struck.

Our analysis employed a whimsical concoction of statistical techniques, including correlation analysis and regression modeling. We set out to wave our statistical wands and cast spells of significance to reveal whether a bewitching relationship existed between the revenue of Harry Potter films and the employment trends of communications educators in Wisconsin.

Using the enchanting powers of statistical software, we calculated the correlation coefficient and p-values to ascertain the strength and significance of any unearthly connection we might uncover. To ensure our findings remained unblemished by the dementors of statistical error, we performed sensitivity analyses and diagnostic checks, akin to combating dark magic with a patronus charm.

In a bid to embrace the peculiarities of our research subject, we enchanted our data visualization with magical flair, conjuring up captivating graphs and charts that would have made the Marauder's Map proud.

Ultimately, our methodology blended the mastery of statistical analysis with the whimsy of the wizarding world, ensuring that our study was not only rigorous but also sprinkled with a touch of magic befitting the subject of our inquiry.

For those curious about our specific statistical methods, we could say we employed the "Expecto Regressionum" spell to summon our regression models, and the "Avada Kedavra (of Multicollinearity)" to ward off the confounding effects of collinear predictors. Of course, such spells only work in the realm of whimsical academic writing, and real statistical analysis relied on decidedly non-magical techniques.

In the next section, we shall reveal the captivating results of our spellbinding analysis and uncover whether our study has indeed melted the skepticism of the Dementors of Doubt, leaving only the shining lumos of statistical significance in its wake. So, dear readers, prepare to be enchanted as we unveil the magical findings of our research.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The captivating correlation uncovered in our research between the whimsical world of Harry Potter and the number of university communications teachers in Wisconsin opens a magical doorway to explore the uncanny influences of popular culture on the academic realm. While some may raise an incredulous eyebrow at the idea of whimsy and wizardry playing a role in statistical analysis, our findings support prior research and contribute to the bubbling cauldron of evidence on this enthralling topic.

Drawing upon the scholarly insights of Smith et al. (2015) and the enchanting work of Doe and Jones (2017), we find ourselves encapsulated in a spellbinding narrative that threads the tale of Harry Potter's global box office success with the rise of communication educators in the Badger State. It seems the release of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" may have indeed sparked an unexpected surge in job postings, mirroring the enchanting power of the wizarding world on the academic landscape.

As we peer through the Pensieve of research, the whimsical parallel drawn by Lorem Ipsum's "The Psychology of Harry Potter" (2006) and Dumbledore and Grindelwald's "The Sorcerer's Stone" (1927) reveals a connective tissue between fictional enchantment and its real-world impact. Perhaps the impact of Harry Potter on popular culture has transfigured into something tangible, metamorphosing into a palpable influence on the academic domain, much like the magical Philosopher's Stone itself.

The statistical incantations conjured from our data not only align with prior whimsical wanderings but also expand the tapestry of evidence to support the enchanting nexus between the wizarding world and the academic community. The robust correlation coefficient and resplendent r-squared value assert the potency of our findings, akin to a powerful Patronus guarding against skeptical forces.

Some may question the logic behind such findings, as if pondering the mechanics of a Time-Turner, but we implore them to relish in the charm and allure of these ethereal connections. The influence of J.K. Rowling's creations extends beyond the realms of mere fiction, permeating the corridors of academia in a manner that is as bewitching as it is intriguing.

Our findings add a dash of enchantment to the otherwise austere world of statistical analysis, reminding us that even in the realm of academia, there is room for a bit of whimsy and wonder. As we close the chapter on this mystical investigation, one thing remains imperturbably clear: the magic of Harry Potter continues to cast its spell, leaving an indelible mark even on the most unlikely of academic phenomena. The enchantment is undeniable, and the connection between Hogwarts and Wisconsin's communication educators is as real as a well-cast Protean Charm.

Correlation r = 0.8573968 (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 = 0.7351293 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 73.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of university communications teachers in Wisconsin) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Worldwide Harry Potter Movies Revenue) over the 9 years from 2003 through 2011.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0031. 0.0031274493220977020000000000
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 0.86 in 0.31% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 320 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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.

[ 0.45, 0.97 ] 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.
