[[INTRODUCTION]]

In recent years, the quest for clean air has become as ubiquitous as the aromas at a nut-roasting factory. As individuals continue to seek out ways to improve air quality, an unexpected player has emerged in this atmospheric theater – tree nuts. The interplay between human dietary habits and environmental nuances has long been a topic of fascination, but seldom has it ventured into the realm of, well, nuts.

The correlation between US tree nut consumption per person and air quality in Florence, South Carolina, presents itself as a nutty mystery waiting to be cracked. Using a data-driven approach, this study aims to peel back the layers of this peculiar association, shedding light on the unanticipated interdependence between what we munch and what we breathe.

Who would have thought that something as crunchy and munchy as tree nuts could lend themselves to discussions of air quality? Much like a squirrel hoarding its precious nuts, we too shall delve into the depths of this peculiar relationship, cracking open the shell of evidence to reveal the creamy kernel of insight nested within.

As we embark on this scholarly journey, let us not overlook the importance of embracing the unexpected. For as the old adage goes, “In a world full of plain bagels, be a sprinkled donut.” In a similar vein, let us sprinkle a dash of whimsy and a pinch of curiosity onto this rather nutty endeavor. After all, as any nut enthusiast would agree, the best discoveries often emerge from the unlikeliest of sources.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature on the relationship between dietary habits and environmental outcomes is as varied and diverse as a nut assortment at a fancy holiday party. Smith (2010) delves into the impact of dietary patterns on overall health, while Doe (2015) investigates the sociocultural influences on food consumption. Jones (2018) provides a comprehensive analysis of air quality trends in urban areas. However, the fusion of these seemingly disparate topics into a nutty concoction of tree nut consumption and air quality in Florence, South Carolina has been a subject less explored in formal research.

Turning to non-fiction books, Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" offers a thought-provoking exploration of the modern American diet, while Diamond's "Collapse" provides insights into the interplay between human societies and their environment. In the realm of fiction, Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer" weaves a tale of human connections to nature, and Eggers' "The Circle" delves into the unforeseen consequences of technological advancement. As we journey further into the literature, we encounter unexpected sources of insight, much like stumbling across a hidden gem in a bag of trail mix.

Venturing beyond the traditional scholarly sources, this research team embraced creativity in the pursuit of unconventional wisdom. Indeed, the authors found themselves perusing the expansive collection of CVS receipts, uncovering the curious affinity between tree nuts and air quality. Amidst descriptions of toothpaste and hair products, a hint of nutty enlightenment emerged, reminding us that inspiration can arise from the most unexpected places.

As the literature on this peculiar association continues to unfold, it becomes evident that the world of research is indeed a mixed bag of surprises – much like finding an unexpected almond amidst a sea of peanuts. While the inklings of humor and whimsy may seem out of place in this scholarly pursuit, they serve as a reminder that even the most serious of inquiries can benefit from a sprinkle of lightheartedness. After all, in the words of Carl Jung, "The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity." And just as a nutcracker is essential for unveiling the hidden treasures within, this study endeavors to crack open the shell of conventional wisdom and reveal the unexpected connection between tree nut consumption and air quality.

[[METHODOLOGY]]



ChatGPT:

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To investigate the curious link between US tree nut consumption per person and air quality in Florence, South Carolina, we employed a nutty mix of research methods that were as multifaceted as a bowl of mixed nuts. Our data collection commenced with a thorough scouring of online resources, from the depths of the internet jungle to the statistically bountiful trees of Statista and the Environmental Protection Agency. The data, spanning from 2000 to 2021, was then meticulously shelled, sorted, and roasted to perfection before being cracked open and analyzed to reveal the tantalizing insights within.

Our first step involved quantifying the annual per capita consumption of tree nuts in the United States. This proved to be a nut-cracking task, as the data required careful extraction from a variety of sources, including national surveys, industry reports, and historical consumption trends. We meticulously separated the almonds from the pecans and the walnuts from the cashews, ensuring that each nut's contribution to the overall consumption was accurately represented.

Simultaneously, we embarked on a parallel expedition to gather air quality data for Florence, South Carolina, from the Environmental Protection Agency. This involved navigating through an extensive thicket of pollutant measurements and atmospheric parameters, akin to trailing a squirrel through a dense forest in search of its hidden stash of nuts. Respiratory particles were sifted through, ozone levels were examined, and air quality indexes were pondered, all in the pursuit of illuminating the nuances of Florence's atmospheric conditions.

Once these data sets were securely gathered, they were subjected to a series of statistical analyses that resembled a concoction of ingredient blending fit for a nutty recipe. Spearheaded by the venerable correlation coefficient, we sought to discern relationships as intricate as the patterns on a pistachio shell. Our algorithms not only quantified the correlation between US tree nut consumption per person and air quality in Florence, South Carolina but also aspired to unmask the subtle interplay between these seemingly unrelated variables.

Moreover, with a nod to the principles of time series analysis, we delved into the temporal dimension of the data, recognizing that environmental trends and dietary habits can evolve as fluidly as the flavors of a bag of mixed nuts. Seasonal variations, annual oscillations, and long-term trends were scrutinized with the diligence of a nut enthusiast inspecting a newly harvested batch for flaws.

Throughout this methodological journey, we maintained a keen awareness of the potential confounding variables, recognizing that the interplay of diet, environment, and other socioeconomic factors can be as intertwined as the roots of a nut-bearing tree. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of our findings, ensuring that our conclusions were as solid as a coconut shell.

In doing so, our approach sought not only to untangle the enigmatic connection between tree nut consumption and air quality but also to embrace the unforeseen variables that lurk within this tangled web of ecological relationships. Much like a nutty detective, we left no stone unturned in our pursuit of clarity, navigating the labyrinthine path to a better understanding of the complex interactions between what we consume and what we respire.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study synergize with previous research, validating the nutty idea that dietary habits could have an impact on the environment. It turns out that the correlation between tree nut consumption and air quality is not just a wacky hypothesis – it's a hard nut to crack, and we've shelled out the evidence to prove it! Our findings align with Smith's (2010) work on the impact of dietary patterns, highlighting how seemingly unrelated factors, like snacking on almonds or walnuts, might sow the seeds of cleaner air.

Delving into Doe's (2015) exploration of sociocultural influences on food consumption, our research uncovers an unexpected link between societal snacking habits and the local atmosphere. It seems that the munching masses in Florence, South Carolina, are inadvertently contributing to air quality – who would have thought that the ripples of a nutty snack could extend to the air we breathe?

Furthermore, Jones' (2018) analysis of air quality trends in urban areas aligns with our findings, as we illuminate the previously overlooked role of nut consumption in shaping environmental conditions. As it turns out, the winds of change blowing through Florence might just be carrying the subtle aromas of roasted peanuts and cashews.Our statistical analysis lends credence to the idea that the nuts we eat may have unintended consequences on the air we breathe, adding a whole new layer of complexity to the peanut gallery of environmental influences.

Our study aligns not only with scholarly work but also delves into unexpected sources of inspiration, harkening back to our unconventional wisdom obtained from perusing CVS receipts. In today's world, where information is as abundant as a bag of mixed nuts, it's crucial to remain open to the possibility of discovering unexpected connections in unconventional places.

The correlation we've uncovered is as nutty as a squirrel on a feeding frenzy, but it underscores the importance of considering unforeseen factors when evaluating environmental trends. Just as the spice of life is said to be variety, our findings highlight the importance of embracing unforeseen elements that could be shaping the very air we breathe. In closing, this research seeks to crack the walnut of conventional wisdom, challenging our preconceived notions and inviting further exploration of this eye-opening link.

Correlation r = 0.8412367 (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 = 0.7076792 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 70.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air quality in Florence, South Carolina) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., US Tree Nut Consumption per Person) over the 22 years from 2000 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 9.4E-7. 0.0000009372256794280832000000
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 0.84 in 9.4E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,066,979 random variables You don't actually need 1 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 21 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 21 because we have two variables measured over a period of 22 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.

[ 0.65, 0.93 ] 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.
