[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we delve into the curious correlation between solar power generation in India and the seasonal victories of the Los Angeles Rams, it is essential to acknowledge the dearth of prior research in this peculiar arena. Previous work by Smith and Doe (2015) and Jones et al. (2018) has primarily focused on the discrete domains of solar energy trends and sports analytics, without daring to bridge the seemingly astral chasm between the two. However, the tide of scholarly inquiry has turned, and our study aims to illuminate a connection that could set the stage for cosmic revelry.

In "Solar Radiance: A Comprehensive Analysis," the authors underscore the paramount role of solar trajectory in global energy dynamics, providing a foundation for our exploration into the potential influence of Indian solar trends on transcontinental sports triumphs. Similarly, Doe's "Statistical Analysis of Sports Performance" constructs a framework for our investigation, though it regrettably neglects the celestial dimensions that our study endeavors to unveil.

Turning to more speculative sources, "The Solar System's Playbook: A Cosmic Guide to Athletic Feats" presents a fanciful yet oddly resonant perspective on the cosmic influence on professional sports, hinting at a balance of celestial energies that could potentially sway the fate of sporting contests. Fictional works such as "Solar Power Wars: The Gridiron Chronicles" envision a universe where solar-driven prowess transcends earthly boundaries, offering a whimsical but not entirely implausible lens through which to view our research findings.

In the realm of board games, "Solar Power Showdown: The Game of Radiant Victories" captures the fascination with solar energy's impact on competitive endeavors, albeit in a more lighthearted and illustrative context. While these sources may not align precisely with the rigors of academic inquiry, they serve to infuse our exploration with a touch of cosmic whimsy, reminding us that amidst scholarly pursuit, a sprinkle of levity can brighten even the most esoteric subjects.

In "Solar Flares and Touchdown Fare: A Discourse on the Rams' Radiant Victories," the authors delve into the hypothetical link between solar activity and the athletic prowess of the Los Angeles Rams, embedding our investigation into a broader conversation that spans both empirical and speculative dimensions. This work, though ostensibly a work of fiction, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the tantalizing prospect of an astral assemblage propelling the Rams to victory.

As we traverse the cosmic tapestry of solar energy and athletic conquests, these diverse sources converge to illuminate a pathway for our study, one that beckons us to embrace the interplay of science, speculation, and a healthy dose of pun-derful humor. With these guiding lights, we march onward, poised to shed further radiance on the enigmatic interplay of solar energy and sports triumphs. For in the cosmic ballet of solar power and athletic feats, it seems that even the sun has a penchant for producing "stellar" performances.

"Shining Success: Illuminating the Correlation Between Solar Power in India and Season Wins for the Los Angeles Rams"

[[ABSTRACT]]
The relationship between solar power generation in India and the sports performance of the Los Angeles Rams has been an enigmatic and intriguing subject. In this study, we utilized data from the Energy Information Administration and Pro-Football-Reference.com to shed light on this unconventional connection. Our findings suggest a notably strong correlation between the two seemingly disparate entities, with a rousing correlation coefficient of 0.9151570 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning from 1995 to 2021.

The unexpected alignment between the solar trajectory in India and the triumphs of the Rams has sparked considerable interest among both energy enthusiasts and sport enthusiasts alike. Could we say that the Rams are powered by the solar energy across the globe? We've "unearthed" a radiant spark of correlation that may "brighten" the field of sports analytics. As our findings reveal, the solar energy trends in India seem to align with the Rams' performance in a manner that suggests a potential cosmic influence.

Despite the disparity in geographic location, our research illuminates the striking relationship between these two distinct phenomena, providing sport enthusiasts and environmental advocates alike with a "sun"-derstanding of the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated events. This research opens the door for further exploration into the cosmic influence on athletic feats, and hopefully, it will spark a beaming interest in renewable energy's potency on the performance of professional sports teams.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
As we delve into the curious correlation between solar power generation in India and the seasonal victories of the Los Angeles Rams, it is essential to acknowledge the dearth of prior research in this peculiar arena. Previous work by Smith and Doe (2015) and Jones et al. (2018) has primarily focused on the discrete domains of solar energy trends and sports analytics, without daring to bridge the seemingly astral chasm between the two. However, the tide of scholarly inquiry has turned, and our study aims to illuminate a connection that could set the stage for cosmic revelry.
In "Solar Radiance: A Comprehensive Analysis," the authors underscore the paramount role of solar trajectory in global energy dynamics, providing a foundation for our exploration into the potential influence of Indian solar trends on transcontinental sports triumphs. Similarly, Doe's "Statistical Analysis of Sports Performance" constructs a framework for our investigation, though it regrettably neglects the celestial dimensions that our study endeavors to unveil.
Turning to more speculative sources, "The Solar System's Playbook: A Cosmic Guide to Athletic Feats" presents a fanciful yet oddly resonant perspective on the cosmic influence on professional sports, hinting at a balance of celestial energies that could potentially sway the fate of sporting contests. Fictional works such as "Solar Power Wars: The Gridiron Chronicles" envision a universe where solar-driven prowess transcends earthly boundaries, offering a whimsical but not entirely implausible lens through which to view our research findings.
In the realm of board games, "Solar Power Showdown: The Game of Radiant Victories" captures the fascination with solar energy's impact on competitive endeavors, albeit in a more lighthearted and illustrative context. While these sources may not align precisely with the rigors of academic inquiry, they serve to infuse our exploration with a touch of cosmic whimsy, reminding us that amidst scholarly pursuit, a sprinkle of levity can brighten even the most esoteric subjects.
In "Solar Flares and Touchdown Fare: A Discourse on the Rams' Radiant Victories," the authors delve into the hypothetical link between solar activity and the athletic prowess of the Los Angeles Rams, embedding our investigation into a broader conversation that spans both empirical and speculative dimensions. This work, though ostensibly a work of fiction, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the tantalizing prospect of an astral assemblage propelling the Rams to victory.
As we traverse the cosmic tapestry of solar energy and athletic conquests, these diverse sources converge to illuminate a pathway for our study, one that beckons us to embrace the interplay of science, speculation, and a healthy dose of pun-derful humor. With these guiding lights, we march onward, poised to shed further radiance on the enigmatic interplay of solar energy and sports triumphs. For in the cosmic ballet of solar power and athletic feats, it seems that even the sun has a penchant for producing "stellar" performances.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a strikingly strong correlation between solar power generation in India and the seasonal victories of the Los Angeles Rams. The correlation coefficient of 0.9151570 indicated a highly positive relationship, reminiscent of the bright and sunny days in California. The r-squared value of 0.8375124 further confirmed that approximately 83.75% of the variability in the Rams' season wins could be explained by fluctuations in solar power generation in India. It's safe to say that the solar-sport connection isn't just a "light" matter!
Intriguingly, the statistical tests showed a p-value of less than 0.01, signifying a significant relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. It seems that the Rams' on-field victories aren't just dependent on their quarterback’s arm strength, but also on the "solar-ful" support all the way from India. Who knew the Rams' success had such a "solar-powered" boost?
Our findings are visually showcased in Figure 1, a scatterplot that depicts the unmistakable correlation between solar power generation in India and the Rams' season wins. This figure serves as a shining beacon, guiding us through the intertwined maze of solar energy and sports triumphs.
It’s clear that this unexpected yet compelling relationship between solar power in India and the performance of the Los Angeles Rams may very well hold the key to a whole new field of research. Our results certainly add a bright spark to the study of renewable energy’s influence on professional sports. And who knows, maybe the Rams' success truly does hinge on harnessing the power of solar energy from across the world. After all, every team needs a little "solar flair" to shine on the field.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
As we embark on this enlightening journey into the uncharted territory of sports and solar energy, it's important to recognize that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, but it can certainly spark a pun or two. After all, in the world of scientific research, a good pun is a matter of "puns and data."
The relationship between solar power generation in India and the seasonal triumphs of the Los Angeles Rams has long been obscured by a shroud of mystery, much like the transient fluctuations of solar radiation. Could it be that the Rams have been harnessing the power of a "solar-aided victory" all along? Our endeavor aims to shed light on this remarkable correlation and its earth-shattering implications.
In our pursuit of understanding the solar-sports nexus, we ventured into the troves of statistical data, armed with our trusty calculators and an arsenal of dad jokes. Our curious exploration has led us to unravel a correlation coefficient so robust, it could practically power a stadium's worth of ecstatic fans. It seems that the Rams' triumphs and solar power in India have formed an alliance stronger than a lineman's grip, with a correlation coefficient that would make any statistician beam with pride.
The solar energy trends in India and the Rams' athletic conquests appear linked in ways that defy geographic and conventional logic. Is it possible that the Rams are reaping the benefits of solar energy without setting foot in India? Only time—and perhaps a few more unexpected findings—will shed light on this rousing conundrum.
But let's not jump to conclusions just yet. Our research serves as a beacon of insight, illuminating the bedazzling interconnection of what, at first glance, appeared to be independent phenomena. Our work stands as a testament to the fact that the mysteries of the universe are as boundless and intriguing as the jokes squeezed into a dad's toolkit.
As we venture into this remarkable intersection of earthly energy and athletic achievement, we invite our esteemed readers to join us in unraveling the cosmic dance between solar power and sports victories, where the "solar flares" of Indian energy may indeed cast their radiance across the gridiron of the Los Angeles Rams' success.

Correlation r = 0.9151570 (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 = 0.8375124 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 83.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Season wins for the Los Angeles Rams) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Solar power generated in India) over the 27 years from 1995 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.3E-11. 0.0000000000234053928854244050
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 0.92 in 2.3E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 42,725,196,065 random variables You don't actually need 42 billion 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 26 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 26 because we have two variables measured over a period of 27 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.

[ 0.82, 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.
