[[METHODOLOGY]]
To conduct our investigation into the curious correlation between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances, we navigated through a labyrinth of data with the grace and precision of a seasoned tennis player - or at least attempted to. Our research design was as meticulously structured as a perfectly lined-up set of tennis balls at the start of a match, with a hint of whimsy akin to a surprise underhand serve.
First, we gathered historical air quality data from the Environmental Protection Agency, specifically focusing on Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for the period spanning from 1999 to 2008. We carefully sifted through this plethora of data, much like a tennis player navigating through a minefield of tricky serves, to identify patterns and trends in air pollution levels. This process was about as thrilling as a sudden death deuce in a championship match - only, in our case, it was a sudden surge in data points that had us on edge.
Simultaneously, we meticulously gathered information on Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances during the same time frame from reliable sources such as Wikipedia. We embarked on this endeavor with as much determination as Serena stepping onto the court for a high-stakes final, determined to uncover any hints of correlation between her stellar performances and the air quality in Williamsport.
Once we had amassed the relevant datasets, we engaged in a rigorous process of data cleaning and pre-processing, ensuring that our statistical models didn't suffer from any unforced errors or netted points. We meticulously combed through the data, eliminating outliers and inconsistencies as if we were tirelessly inspecting a disputed line call.
Next, we applied a series of advanced statistical methods, including correlation analysis and regression modeling, to examine the relationship between poor air quality in Williamsport and Serena Williams' Grand Slam finals' performances. We were as thorough in our analysis as Serena is in her strategic shot placements, leaving no stone unturned in uncovering any potential relationship between these seemingly disparate variables.
Our statistical analyses were conducted with the precision of a skilled tennis player executing a perfectly timed serve, ensuring that our findings were not merely a lucky shot but rather a well-planned strategy. We calculated correlation coefficients with the same dedication that a tennis player devotes to perfecting their backhand, aiming to reveal the strength and direction of the relationship between air quality and Serena's performances.
Throughout this process, robust statistical tests were employed to establish the significance of any observed relationships, ensuring that our findings were as compelling as a dramatic tie-breaker in a championship match. We scrutinized our results with the same intensity that a hawk-eyed line judge watches each point, guaranteeing the validity and reliability of our conclusions.
In addition to our quantitative analyses, we incorporated qualitative insights from domain experts in environmental science and sports performance, seeking to gain a holistic understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the observed correlation. Just as a seasoned tennis player might consult with their coach for strategic advice, we sought expert input to refine our interpretations and place our findings within the broader context of air quality and athletic achievement.
Our research methodology was designed to serve an ace in uncovering the intricate relationship between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances, all while infusing a dash of scientific rigor and a volley of puns that might just leave you wondering, "Is there something in the air, or is it just a good ol' dad joke?"

The r-squared value of 0.6692442 further reinforces the strength of the relationship we observed. This means that approximately 66.92% of the variability in Serena Williams' Grand Slam final appearances can be explained by the variation in air quality in Williamsport during the specified time frame. It's clear that there's more than just "air" serving as a common denominator here!
The statistical significance of our findings is evident from the p-value, which was less than 0.01. This indicates that the observed relationship between poor air quality in Williamsport and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances is highly unlikely to have occurred by chance. It's as unlikely as a tennis ball bouncing in a straight line on a windy day - simply "un-fore-hand-able"!
To visually encapsulate the strength of the relationship, we present Fig. 1, a scatterplot that vividly illustrates the positive correlation between the two variables. The scatterplot is as clear as Serena's win at the 1999 US Open! It paints a compelling picture of how the degradation of air quality in Williamsport seemingly propelled Serena Williams towards her appearances in Grand Slam finals. It's almost as though the air pollution acted as her unseen doubles partner on the court - talk about an "air-assist" in the game of tennis!
In conclusion, our results provide tangible evidence of the substantial connection between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances. This study not only underscores the impact of environmental factors on athletic achievements but also serves as a testament to the surprising intersections between seemingly unrelated variables. As we serve up these unprecedented findings, it's clear that the link between smog and serves is more than just a "racket"!

As Captain Planet would say, "The power is yours" to uncover unexpected connections in the world around us.
Amidst the weighty tomes of academic research and the whimsical allure of fiction, our investigation into the relationship between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances reveals a compelling narrative that transcends the boundaries of traditional scholarly inquiry. Stay tuned as we uncover the truth behind Serena's formidable serves and the invisible hand of environmental influence.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of data for the period from 1999 to 2008 revealed a striking correlation between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and the Grand Slam finals played by Serena Williams. The correlation coefficient of 0.8180735 suggests a robust relationship, indicating that as air quality worsened, the likelihood of Serena Williams making it to the finals of Grand Slam tournaments increased. It seems that the phrase "love is in the air" takes on a whole new meaning with this study - although in this case, it's more like "pollution is in the air"!
The r-squared value of 0.6692442 further reinforces the strength of the relationship we observed. This means that approximately 66.92% of the variability in Serena Williams' Grand Slam final appearances can be explained by the variation in air quality in Williamsport during the specified time frame. It's clear that there's more than just "air" serving as a common denominator here!
The statistical significance of our findings is evident from the p-value, which was less than 0.01. This indicates that the observed relationship between poor air quality in Williamsport and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances is highly unlikely to have occurred by chance. It's as unlikely as a tennis ball bouncing in a straight line on a windy day - simply "un-fore-hand-able"!
To visually encapsulate the strength of the relationship, we present Fig. 1, a scatterplot that vividly illustrates the positive correlation between the two variables. The scatterplot is as clear as Serena's win at the 1999 US Open! It paints a compelling picture of how the degradation of air quality in Williamsport seemingly propelled Serena Williams towards her appearances in Grand Slam finals. It's almost as though the air pollution acted as her unseen doubles partner on the court - talk about an "air-assist" in the game of tennis!
In conclusion, our results provide tangible evidence of the substantial connection between poor air quality in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Serena Williams' Grand Slam performances. This study not only underscores the impact of environmental factors on athletic achievements but also serves as a testament to the surprising intersections between seemingly unrelated variables. As we serve up these unprecedented findings, it's clear that the link between smog and serves is more than just a "racket"!

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 = 0.6692442 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 66.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Grand Slam Finals Played by Serena Williams) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air pollution in Williamsport, Pennsylvania) over the 10 years from 1999 through 2008.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0038. 0.0038234907430988660000000000
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 0.82 in 0.38% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 262 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.
[ 0.39, 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.
1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | |
Air pollution in Williamsport, Pennsylvania (Bad air quality days) | 0 | 0.448431 | 0.847458 | 2.52101 | 1.67364 | 0 | 0.854701 | 0 | 0 | 0.858369 |
Grand Slam Finals Played by Serena Williams (Finals) | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
Why this works
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
