[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The academic exploration of the interplay between the popularity of the first name Rylee and the utilization of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in soybeans in Indiana has garnered a smattering of scholarly attention. Smith (2010) delved into the enigmatic world of nomenclature and agricultural practices, positing a tenuous link between the two variables. Doe (2015) further expounded on this hypothesis, crafting a compelling narrative that draws connections between the phonetic resonance of Rylee and the genetic makeup of soybeans. Jones (2018) even dared to ponder the psychological underpinnings of naming choices and their peculiar influences on agricultural practices, paving the way for a more whimsical interpretation of this intriguing correlation.

As we meander through the scholarly forays into this peculiar junction of nomenclature and soybean cultivation, it's worth acknowledging the broader landscape of literature that tangentially intersects with our chosen subject matter. Works such as "The Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollan and "Foodopoly" by Wenonah Hauter provide a serious contemplation of agricultural practices and the whims of consumer preferences. However, let's not soy-vour these literary stalwarts as the sole beholders of agricultural wit and wisdom. Fictional works such as "Soybeans and Sensibility" and "Rylee and Prejudice" - yes, those are entirely fictional titles, albeit whimsically crafted ones - whimsically delve into the societal intrigue surrounding soybeans and the captivating allure of the name Rylee.

Turning to the annals of animated wonder, how can one overlook the fabled escapades of "The Magic School Bus" and its soybean-centric episode, which undoubtedly inspired a generation of budding agronomists? And for those who yearn for a nostalgic chuckle, let's not underestimate the subtle influence of "The Simpsons" and "Arthur," where veiled references to soybean drama may have stealthily shaped our perceptions of leguminous escapades since early childhood.

As we sift through this melange of scholarly and fictional engagements with our subject matter, one cannot help but marvel at the whimsical pathways that academic inquiry can traverse. Our investigation into the correlation between Rylee and GMO soybeans promises to be both illuminating and tantalizingly amusing – a statistical adventure indeed!

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To embark on our whimsical statistical odyssey, we summoned a team of intrepid researchers to delve into the enchanting correlation between the popularity of the first name Rylee and the utilization of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in soybeans within the state of Indiana. Our data collection escapade began with a meticulous scouring of the vast expanse of the internet, where we scavenged through the digital archives of the US Social Security Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), seeking the precious nuggets of information spanning the years 2000 to 2022.

Our first endeavor involved unearthing the frequency of the first name Rylee in the annals of the Social Security Administration, navigating through the maze of monikers to extract the precise numerical representation of Rylees fluttering through the Hoosier state over the years. With each keystroke, we enigmatically pondered the enigma of Rylee, musing on the potential influence of this charming nomenclature on the flourishing fields of soybeans.

Simultaneously, we donned our agricultural capes and ventured into the labyrinth of GMO soybean data supplied by the USDA. Armed with an unyielding spirit and a dubious sense of humor, we waded through the sea of soybeans, seeking to capture the essence of genetic modification and its intersection with the whimsical world of Rylees. The juxtaposition of these datasets allowed us to forge a pathway through the statistical underbrush and eventually brought us face to face with the intriguing correlation that lies at the heart of our study.

In our quest to validate the veracity of this peculiar relationship, we employed an array of statistical analyses, including correlation coefficients and regression models, to unravel the tangled web of data and discern the underlying patterns. Our statistical toolkit, with just the right amount of whimsy and rigor, enabled us to tease out the peculiar connection between the ebbs and flows of Rylee popularity and the ebb and flow of genetically modified soybeans in Indiana.

Alas, our methodology, albeit adorned with a touch of levity, serves as the sturdy vessel that carried us through the turbulent seas of statistical exploration, guiding us toward the captivating discovery that awaits in the heart of the Rylee-GMO saga.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our adventure through the delightful expanse of statistical exploration has led us to uncover a relationship that is as intriguing as it is unexpected – the entwined fate of the name Rylee and the deployment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the resilient soybean fields of Indiana. The robust correlation coefficient of 0.9085478 and the r-squared of 0.8254591, coupled with a p-value of less than 0.01, paint a picture so vivid it would make even the most discerning statistician's toes tingle.

The charming allure of the name Rylee seems to have cast a spell on the GMO soybeans, creating a harmonious symphony that resonates through the fields of Indiana. However, let's not jump to conclusions - while our findings are indeed statistically significant, we tread lightly and heed the cautionary tales of spurious correlations that have led many a researcher astray.

Yet, the undeniable statistical dance between Rylee and GMO soybeans offers a whimsical tableau that tickles the imagination and leaves us pondering the cosmic forces at play. Could this be a mere statistical quirk, or is there a deeper narrative lurking beneath the surface? Indeed, this correlation may be as enigmatic as an unsolved riddle or as amusing as a stand-up comedian at a statistical conference.

Nevertheless, as we bid adieu to this tantalizing saga of soybeans and Rylees, it is with the utmost certainty that we declare: no more research is needed in this area. We leave this field of inquiry with a hearty chuckle and a tip of the hat to the statistical caprice that keeps our academic pursuits anything but mundane.

Correlation r = 0.9085478 (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 = 0.8254591 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 82.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., GMO use in soybeans in Indiana) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Rylee) over the 23 years from 2000 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.06E-9. 0.0000000020574146593902073000
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 2.06E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 486,046,892 random variables You don't actually need 486 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 22 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 22 because we have two variables measured over a period of 23 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.

[ 0.79, 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. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.
