"Stand-up Maths and Soil: A Comedic Correlation Analysis in Oregon's Agricultural Education Sector"

[[ABSTRACT]]
The intersection of professional-sounding Stand-up Maths YouTube video titles and agricultural sciences educators in Oregon has been a topic of curiosity, bordering on the comedic. In this research, we delve into this unusual association, melding the analytical rigor of statistical correlation with the absurdity of online humor. It's all about finding the prime roots of agricultural education – a topic that's definitely not a "sine" of dullness, if you catch my drift.

We employed a multidisciplinary approach, employing advanced AI analysis of Stand-up Maths video titles and extracting data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to unravel this enigma. Our findings revealed a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.8691752 with a significance level of p < 0.01, spanning the period from 2011 to 2018. This correlation indicates that there is a strong relationship – unlike the one between a mathematician and a broken calculator – between the manner in which Stand-up Maths video titles are crafted and the presence of agricultural sciences educators in the Oregon educational landscape.

In the spirit of marrying formidable statistics with levity, we present this research as a testament to the unexpected connections that can be uncovered with a bit of humor and a lot of data. As the saying goes, statistics can be just as funny as a well-timed punchline – especially when they're as "correlationally" surprising as this one!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "The Stand-up Maths Phenomenon: A Mathematical Analysis," Smith et al. explore the intriguing world of Stand-up Maths with a focus on the structure and content of the YouTube video titles. They delve into the linguistic and mathematical patterns within these titles, revealing a fascinating convergence of comedy and mathematics. It's as if the funny bone and the calculator button have finally found their common rhythm.
Doe and Jones, in "Agricultural Sciences Education in the Pacific Northwest," investigate the state of agricultural education in the Oregon region. Their comprehensive study offers insights into the challenges and opportunities within the agricultural sciences education sector, providing a solid groundwork for understanding the context in which our peculiar correlation unfolds.
Now that we've sown the seeds of literature on our research terrain, let's take a detour into some unconventional yet thought-provoking sources. In "The Comedy of Soil: A Humorous Analysis," Lorem and Ipsum offer a satirical take on the connection between soil and comedy, showcasing the potential for unexpected correlations in the most unlikely places. It's a bit like finding a "corny" joke sprouting in the midst of a wheat field – unexpected, but undeniably amusing.
Ever the mavericks in forging bizarre connections, let's throw in a dash of fiction for good measure. "The Algebraic Agriculture Chronicles" by Terry Pratchett and "Mathematics in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt might not actually exist, but in our whimsical world of correlation exploration, they certainly could. After all, who's to say that the imaginary doesn't hold some truth in the statistical realm of absurdity? It's like planting fictional seeds in the garden of research literature, hoping for a harvest of statistical whimsy.
As we veer further into uncharted territories, let's not forget the formative influences of our childhood. "Arthur's Math Adventures" and "Cyberchase" might seem like innocent cartoons, but behind the façade of animated antics lies a wealth of mathematical themes and educational content. Who would have guessed that these childhood favorites could contribute to the scholarly discussion of correlation between Stand-up Maths and agricultural education? It's a bit like finding a statistically significant Easter egg in a cartoon haystack – unexpected, yet strangely appropriate.
So, as we traverse the landscape of literature in pursuit of unraveling the correlation between Stand-up Maths and soil, let's not discount the value of unexpected sources and whimsical inspirations. After all, the statistical humor of agriculture in Oregon is a field ripe for comedic exploration. And remember, when it comes to statistics, it's not just about the numbers – it's also about the laughter along the "standard deviation."

[[RESULTS]]
The findings of our research illuminate a surprisingly robust relationship between the professional-sounding titles of Stand-up Maths YouTube videos and the number of agricultural sciences teachers in Oregon. It turns out, there's more to those catchy video titles than meets the eye – they might just hold the secret formula for cultivating an interest in agricultural education. Talk about adding some "agri"-cultural flair to the world of entertainment!
The correlation coefficient of 0.8691752 that we unearthed indicates a strong, positive relationship - unlike the negative attraction between two magnets. This robust correlation suggests that there exists a compelling link between the manner in which Stand-up Maths video titles are crafted and the prevalence of agricultural sciences educators in Oregon. It's as if the statistical stars aligned to draw these seemingly unrelated fields together in a statistical waltz!
As shown in Figure 1, the scatterplot visually exemplifies the strong positive correlation between the two variables. It's a testament to the power of statistical analysis – and a friendly reminder that even the most unconventional pairings can produce meaningful insights. Who knew that Stand-up Maths and soil science could be such a "pun"-derful couple in the research world?
In the jocular spirit of humor and data, we present these findings as a reaffirmation of the unexpected connections that can emerge from the realm of statistical analysis. From the mysterious allure of Stand-up Maths to the down-to-earth world of agricultural sciences, this correlation provides a delightful punchline to the ongoing joke that is statistical research. After all, there's nothing quite like a good statistical surprise to "harvest" a chuckle or two!

Correlation r = 0.8691752 (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 = 0.7554655 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 75.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of agricultural sciences teachers in Oregon) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How professional-sounding Stand-up Maths YouTube video titles are) over the 8 years from 2011 through 2018.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00506. 0.0050628403924415700000000000
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 0.87 in 0.506% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 198 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.

[ 0.42, 0.98 ] 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.
