As GMO use in soybeans increased in Minnesota, the soybeans grew bigger and more complex. This led to a higher demand for sonographers to perform ultrasounds on these genetically modified soybeans to ensure they were developing properly. The soybeans' growing popularity also meant that more sonographers were needed to meet the needs of this booming agricultural industry. Before you know it, there was a soybean sonogram craze, with sonographers specifically trained in legume imaging techniques. Who knew that soybeans would be at the heart of Minnesota's sonography growth spurt?

Their comprehensive analysis delves into the implications of genetic modification on agricultural practices and, in a surprising twist, posits potential implications for medical professions.

As we wade through the academic literature on this curious convergence of soybeans and sonographers, it is imperative to consider broader sources of insight. In "GMOs: The Agricultural Revolution or Pandora's Box?" by renowned author Lorem Ipsum, the ethical dilemmas surrounding GMO crops come into sharp focus, prompting contemplation of potential societal impacts that extend beyond the agricultural sector.

Moving beyond traditional academic sources, we encounter an unexpected yet oddly relevant literary intersection. In Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma," the author's exploration of modern food production offers a tantalizing glimpse into the intricate web of agricultural practices, begging the question: could the choices we make at the dinner table have unforeseen ramifications on the healthcare landscape, including the demand for sonographers?

No academic pursuit would be complete without a nod to lighthearted yet thought-provoking fiction. Enter Terry Pratchett's "Reaper Man" and Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake," two works that, although seemingly unrelated, subtly weave themes of genetic engineering and agricultural experimentation into their narratives. Could these imaginative tales hold kernels of insight into the curious relationship between soybeans and sonographers?

And who could forget the countless internet memes that have permeated our digital realm, one of which humorously juxtaposes a soybean field with a cartoon ultrasound machine, illustrating the unforeseen connections between these seemingly unrelated entities? It's as though the memes themselves are echoing our sentiments, exclaiming, "Soybeans and sonographers: a match made in GMO heaven!"

With this eclectic array of sources in mind, we embark on a journey through the whimsical crossroads of agricultural innovation and medical imaging, seeking to uncover the enigmatic link between genetically modified soybeans and the population of sonographers in the captivating locale of Minnesota.

Correlation r = 0.9079958 (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 = 0.8244564 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 82.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of sonographers in Minnesota) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in soybeans in Minnesota) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.2E-8. 0.0000000319991240284931630000
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 0.91 in 3.2E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 31,250,855 random variables You don't actually need 31 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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.

[ 0.78, 0.96 ] 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. 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.
