AI explanation

As GMO use in Wisconsin corn decreased, the size of the corn stalks also decreased. This led to a shortage of tall standing desks, which are preferred by executive administrative assistants for that power stance. As a result, there was a decrease in the number of people holding those specific job titles in Wisconsin.

[[INTRODUCTION]]

The humble corn kernel, an emblem of Midwestern agriculture, plays a fundamental role in the economy of Wisconsin. On a related note, did you hear about the corn that went to the psychologist? It had to come to terms with its husk and examine its deeply rooted issues. Beyond the realm of corny jokes, the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in corn has been a subject of much scrutiny and debate. Likewise, the employment of executive administrative assistants, the unsung heroes of office organization, has drawn attention for its impact on business efficiency.

Our study aims to investigate the unexpected link between these two seemingly incongruous entities. It's as surprising as finding a corn cob at a filing cabinet – an unexpected pairing. While the connection may seem as unlikely as a farmer in a suit and tie, our analysis aims to shed light on this curious relationship. Much like the corn maze in autumn, navigating this correlation promises to be both intriguing and at times, perplexing.

The adoption of GMOs in corn cultivation has sparked heated discussions about its potential effects on human health and the environment. Critics have raised concerns about the long-term impact of GMOs on ecosystems and biodiversity. On the other hand, proponents argue that GMOs can bolster crop yield and resilience, offering a potential solution to food insecurity. Just like a cornstalk, the debate seems to have many ears, with conflicting perspectives echoing throughout the agricultural landscape.

In parallel, the employment of executive administrative assistants has been a linchpin in the smooth operation of businesses and organizations. They play a pivotal role in maintaining streamlined processes and ensuring that the gears of industry turn smoothly. Without them, the office could quickly resemble a disorganized pile of corn kernels – scattered and in disarray.

In light of these contrasting yet intertwined factors, our research seeks to unravel the mysterious connection between the use of GMOs in corn grown in Wisconsin and the prevalence of executive administrative assistants in the state. It's akin to exploring a cornfield at dusk – full of unexpected twists and turns, and hopefully no scarecrows. Through this investigation, we hope to provide a kernel of insight into the complex relationship between agricultural practices and labor market dynamics. After all, understanding this relationship is as essential as butter on corn – it simply cannot be overlooked.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The links between agricultural practices and labor market dynamics have been a topic of much interest among researchers. Smith et al. (2015) conducted a comprehensive analysis of GMO usage in various crops, including corn, and its implications for employment trends. Their study highlighted the potential influence of agricultural innovation on labor market shifts. Similarly, Doe et al. (2018) examined the factors driving the demand for administrative support roles, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms shaping the employment landscape in Wisconsin.

Despite the dry nature of this research topic, these studies have revealed a kernel of truth in the connections between GMO use in corn and the employment of executive administrative assistants. However, the real question is, what do you get when a corn cob tells a joke? A-MAIZE-ing corny humor! Moving on from the less-than-appetizing corn jokes, the literature provides a grounding for further exploration of this amusing correlation.

In "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, the author explores the intricacies of the modern food industry, delving into the debates surrounding GMOs and their impact on agricultural practices. Similarly, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond offers a historical perspective on the interplay between human societies and agricultural developments, providing a backdrop for understanding the roots of GMO usage.

On a lighter note, fictional works such as "Corn and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy and "The Corn Identity" by Robert Ludlum may not directly address the GMO-corn conundrum, but they certainly add a whimsical touch to the discussion. As for film references, "Children of the Corn" and "Field of Dreams" may not be academic sources, but their thematic relevance to the agricultural landscape and, in the former case, corn-related horrors, cannot be dismissed.

In summary, while the research on GMO-corn's correlation to executive administrative assistants may appear as corny as a dad joke, the existing literature serves as a foundation for our own investigation into this curious connection. The juxtaposition of serious academic studies with whimsical book and movie titles presents a balanced perspective on a topic that is as enigmatic as finding a cornstalk in a desk drawer.

Moving on from the less-than-appetizing corn jokes, the literature provides a grounding for further exploration of this amusing correlation.
In "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, the author explores the intricacies of the modern food industry, delving into the debates surrounding GMOs and their impact on agricultural practices. Similarly, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond offers a historical perspective on the interplay between human societies and agricultural developments, providing a backdrop for understanding the roots of GMO usage.
On a lighter note, fictional works such as "Corn and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy and "The Corn Identity" by Robert Ludlum may not directly address the GMO-corn conundrum, but they certainly add a whimsical touch to the discussion. As for film references, "Children of the Corn" and "Field of Dreams" may not be academic sources, but their thematic relevance to the agricultural landscape and, in the former case, corn-related horrors, cannot be dismissed.
In summary, while the research on GMO-corn's correlation to executive administrative assistants may appear as corny as a dad joke, the existing literature serves as a foundation for our own investigation into this curious connection. The juxtaposition of serious academic studies with whimsical book and movie titles presents a balanced perspective on a topic that is as enigmatic as finding a cornstalk in a desk drawer.

"Kernel Connections: The GMO-Corn Conundrum and its Corny Correlation to Executive Administrative Assistants"

[[ABSTRACT]]
The perplexing relationship between the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in corn grown in Wisconsin and the number of executive administrative assistants in the state has long puzzled researchers. In this study, we utilized data from the USDA and Bureau of Labor Statistics to delve into this quirky association. Our analysis unveiled a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9660023 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the years 2010 to 2022.

Just like the kernels on a corn cob, our findings revealed a tight connection between the adoption of GMOs in corn cultivation and the employment of executive administrative assistants in Wisconsin. It's as if these two seemingly unrelated factors are stuck together like corn on the cob – inseparable! Our research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of agricultural practices on the labor market, shedding light on the surprising interplay of genetically modified corn and administrative support roles.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The humble corn kernel, an emblem of Midwestern agriculture, plays a fundamental role in the economy of Wisconsin. On a related note, did you hear about the corn that went to the psychologist? It had to come to terms with its husk and examine its deeply rooted issues. Beyond the realm of corny jokes, the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in corn has been a subject of much scrutiny and debate. Likewise, the employment of executive administrative assistants, the unsung heroes of office organization, has drawn attention for its impact on business efficiency.
Our study aims to investigate the unexpected link between these two seemingly incongruous entities. It's as surprising as finding a corn cob at a filing cabinet – an unexpected pairing. While the connection may seem as unlikely as a farmer in a suit and tie, our analysis aims to shed light on this curious relationship. Much like the corn maze in autumn, navigating this correlation promises to be both intriguing and at times, perplexing.
The adoption of GMOs in corn cultivation has sparked heated discussions about its potential effects on human health and the environment. Critics have raised concerns about the long-term impact of GMOs on ecosystems and biodiversity. On the other hand, proponents argue that GMOs can bolster crop yield and resilience, offering a potential solution to food insecurity. Just like a cornstalk, the debate seems to have many ears, with conflicting perspectives echoing throughout the agricultural landscape.
In parallel, the employment of executive administrative assistants has been a linchpin in the smooth operation of businesses and organizations. They play a pivotal role in maintaining streamlined processes and ensuring that the gears of industry turn smoothly. Without them, the office could quickly resemble a disorganized pile of corn kernels – scattered and in disarray.
In light of these contrasting yet intertwined factors, our research seeks to unravel the mysterious connection between the use of GMOs in corn grown in Wisconsin and the prevalence of executive administrative assistants in the state. It's akin to exploring a cornfield at dusk – full of unexpected twists and turns, and hopefully no scarecrows. Through this investigation, we hope to provide a kernel of insight into the complex relationship between agricultural practices and labor market dynamics. After all, understanding this relationship is as essential as butter on corn – it simply cannot be overlooked.

Correlation r = 0.9660023 (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 = 0.9331604 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of executive administrative assistants in Wisconsin) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in corn grown in Wisconsin) over the 13 years from 2010 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.4E-8. 0.0000000835084892797489600000
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 8.4E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 11,974,830 random variables You don't actually need 11 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 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 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.

[ 0.89, 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.
