AI explanation

As fewer English majors were available to write compelling fruit juice ad copy, consumer demand for American fruit juice abroad plummeted. This led to a sharp decrease in fruit juice export volume as the literary prowess needed to extol the virtues of U.S. fruit juice was sorely lacking. As a result, the nation's fruit juice industry found itself in a sticky situation, unable to convey the juiciness of their products to international markets. This just goes to show that in the ever-evolving landscape of global trade, sometimes the most unexpected connections bear the pulp of truth.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To investigate the peculiar relationship between the number of Bachelor's degrees awarded in English language and literature/letters and the volume of fruit juice exported from the United States, our research team utilized a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. We collected data from 2012 to 2021, sourcing information primarily from the National Center for Education Statistics and Statista. It was a process that required a keen eye for detail and a healthy dose of skepticism, much like trying to find the "grape" in "grapefruit."

Our initial step involved gathering the numbers of Bachelor's degrees conferred in English language and literature/letters over the specified time period. The data, much like a carefully crafted plot, unfolded before us in tables and spreadsheets, revealing the steady flow of English degrees and setting the stage for our analysis. Our aim was to capture the essence of the academic pursuit, taking a statistical snapshot of the scholarly inclination towards language and literature.

Simultaneously, we delved into the world of fruit juice exports, extracting data on the volume of fruit juice exported from the United States during the same timeframe. It was akin to navigating through a proverbial orchard of economic statistics, plucking numbers like ripe fruits and examining their potential connection to the academic landscape. Much like a skilled juice maker, we sought to extract every drop of information from our sources, aiming to sieve through the data to uncover any hidden correlations.

Once the data was gathered, we employed robust statistical techniques to analyze the relationship between the variables. Our chosen method was as precise as measuring the exact acidity of a citrus fruit, involving the calculation of a correlation coefficient to quantify the strength and direction of the association between Bachelor's degrees in English and fruit juice exports. We then tested the significance of this association using a series of inferential statistical tests, ensuring that our findings were not merely the result of chance.

In addition to our quantitative analysis, we also conducted qualitative inquiries to contextualize the findings within the broader landscape of academic and economic discourse. We scrutinized industry reports, scholarly literature, and expert opinions to gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the observed connection. It was an inquisitive journey, akin to exploring the depths of a fruit juice flavor profile, seeking to unravel the nuanced interactions between academic pursuits and international trade.

Finally, we subjected our conclusions to rigorous peer review, inviting scholarly critique and discussion to validate the robustness of our findings. It was a process that demanded intellectual transparency and openness to scrutiny, much like presenting a new juice blend to a panel of discerning taste testers.

Our methodology, though unconventional in its juxtaposition of academic and economic variables, provided a holistic approach to unraveling the enigmatic connection between English degrees and fruit juice exports, fostering a fertile ground for future investigations and perhaps a few fruitful puns.

In the immortal words of William Shakespeare, "To juice or not to juice, that is the question." But with such a high correlation coefficient, the question seems to have been answered in favor of the juice!

Furthermore, the calculated R-squared value of 0.9459670 indicates that an impressive 94.6% of the variation in fruit juice export volume can be explained by the number of English degrees awarded. This suggests that the pursuit of linguistic and literary expertise may indeed have a substantial impact on the export dynamics of fruit juice, a correlation as strong as the zest of a freshly squeezed lemon.

The statistical test also revealed a p-value of less than 0.01, indicating that the observed correlation is statistically significant. This finding underscores the robustness of the relationship between English degrees and fruit juice exports, leaving little room for doubt about the tangible connection between these seemingly disparate domains. It's as if statistical significance is the juice that adds flavor to our findings.

Figure 1 showcases a compelling scatterplot illustrating the strong positive correlation between the number of Bachelor's degrees in English and US fruit juice exports. The data points align in a manner reminiscent of a well-structured poem, forming a clear, upward-sloping trend line that speaks volumes about the interplay between linguistic education and the export of fruit juice.

In conclusion, our research presents compelling evidence of a significant correlation between Bachelor's degrees in English language and literature/letters and the volume of fruit juice exported from the United States. The unexpected nature of this relationship calls for further exploration and invites a quip from the great comedian Groucho Marx: "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. And exported fruit juice, it seems, flies like a Bachelor's degree in English!"

Correlation r = 0.9726083 (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 = 0.9459670 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., United States' Fruit Juice Export Volume) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Bachelor's degrees awarded in literature) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.4E-6. 0.0000023828903959317317000000
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 0.97 in 0.00024% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 419,658 random variables You don't actually need 419 thousand 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 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.

[ 0.88, 0.99 ] 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. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
