[[INTRODUCTION]]

Welcome, fellow academics, to a journey through the curious corridors of correlation and causation. In this paper, we grapple with an unexpected entanglement between the pursuit of Master's degrees in Family and Consumer Science and the irresistible allure of Norwegian migration. As we embark on this intellectual escapade, we encourage you to fasten your seatbelts, for we will be navigating through the turbulent waves of statistics, research methodologies, and the perplexing world of Google searches.

Picture this: you're merrily strolling through the idyllic avenues of academia, basking in the radiance of scholarly pursuit, when suddenly, you stumble upon an inconceivable correlation. Yes, as incredulous as it may sound, our good old friend, the correlation coefficient, decided to take us on a detour straight to the land of adventure, curiosity, and mirth. Just when we thought we had mastered the art of predicting academic pursuits, the data decided to throw us a delightful curveball.

Let's start with the protagonists of this tale: the Master's degrees in Family and Consumer Science. These degrees, often celebrated for nurturing individuals skilled in the art of managing households and enriching family lives, have emerged as the unexpected protagonists of our study. Their relevance, we discovered, extends beyond the realms of the nurturing hearth and expands into the uncharted territories of international migration aspirations.

Now, let's welcome our unexpected co-star: Norway. The majestic land of fjords, breathtaking vistas, and, apparently, a magnet for inquisitive minds seeking to unravel its mysteries. It turns out that many souls out there are seeking guidance on how to make the Nordic dream a reality through the peculiar vehicle of Google searches.

It's tempting to react to our findings with a perplexed furrow of the brow or a bewildered "What in the name of statistical significance?" However, in the spirit of intellectual merriment, let's not forget that correlation does not imply causation. While it's delightful to imagine individuals graduating with Master's degrees in Family and Consumer Science, packing up their belongings, and embarking on a quest to the Scandinavian paradise in a quest for the perfect meatball recipe, we must exercise caution in drawing hasty conclusions.

So, dear readers, grab your lab coats, secure your hypotheses, and join us as we unravel the delightful entanglement of academia, aspirations, and an unexpected Nordic odyssey. Let's embark on this analytical adventure with the enthusiasm of a scientist in a chocolate factory and the humor of a statistical wizard telling jokes about mean, median, and mode. After all, where else will you find the whimsical harmony of academic rigor and a dash of proverbial spice?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we unravel the unlikely alliance between the pursuit of Master's degrees in Family and Consumer Science and the bewitching allure of Norwegian migration, we find ourselves confronted with a motley crew of scholarly works. In "Smith and Doe's Observations on Educational Pursuits and Geographical Quirks," the authors delve into the intriguing realm of academic and geographic aspirations, providing a solid foundation for our own enigmatic exploration. Building upon this foundation, Jones et al.'s "Tales of Nordic Curiosity: A Statistical Odyssey" dissects the whims of wanderlust and academic fervor in a manner that lays the groundwork for a lighthearted romp through our research.

However, as we delve deeper, we encounter a trove of sources that emphasize the peculiar and unorthodox nature of our investigation. "The Nordic Dream: A Comparative Analysis of Google Queries and Educational Choices" by Lorem and Ipsum sheds light on the unconventional interplay between internet search trends and scholarly pursuits. Their findings hint at a quirky dance between the desire to immerse in the familial embrace of the Nordic lands and the pursuit of knowledge in family and consumer sciences.

Continuing down this rabbit hole of academic inquiry, we encounter non-fiction literary companions that provide a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of our pursuit. The poignant memoirs of Elizabeth Gilbert in "Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia" perhaps serve as a metaphorical precursor to our own scholarly expedition. While Gilbert's odyssey takes her across continents in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, our quest involves a cerebral exploration of academic and geographical yearnings.

Turning our attention to the realm of fiction, we encounter a plethora of literary delights that, although not directly related to our scholarly pursuit, offer a whimsical contrast to the gravity of our research. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" by F. Scott Fitzgerald serves as a delightful reminder of the unpredictable nature of life's journeys, a sentiment that resonates with the capricious dance of academic pursuits and migration aspirations. Furthermore, the endless complexities of familial dynamics and the innate human desire for adventure find a whimsical portrayal in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, which, although fantastical in nature, intertwines the threads of kinship and curiosity with palpable charm.

In a similar vein, our cinematic odyssey presents us with tangentially related narratives that offer a light-hearted interpretation of academic and migratory quests. The whimsical charm of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," directed by Ben Stiller, invites us to revel in the escapades of a daydreaming soul whose yearning for adventure sparks an unconventional journey. Additionally, the endearing hilarity of "The Grand Budapest Hotel," directed by Wes Anderson, offers a quirky immersion into the zany world of hospitality, beckoning us to contemplate the unforeseen escapades that await when academic pursuits and wanderlust collide.

As we navigate this labyrinth of scholarly inquiry, it becomes evident that our pursuit is not just an exploration of statistical correlation but a celebration of the whimsical harmonies that underpin the human intellectual odyssey. Therefore, let us embrace our academic inquiries with the verve of a linguistic acrobat and the unrelenting curiosity of a scholarly detective solving the enigmatic mysteries of academia. After all, where else can one find the intersection of scholarly rigor, peculiar pursuits, and a touch of proverbial levity?

The Quandary of Masters in Family and Consumer Science: A Rhyme and Reason Analysis for Norwegian Aspiration Migration

[[ABSTRACT]]
The pursuit of higher education in family and consumer sciences/human sciences is often viewed as a gateway to a rewarding and fulfilling career. This research paper, however, delves into the lesser-explored correlation between the number of Master's degrees awarded in Family and Consumer Science and the Google searches for "how to immigrate to Norway". Our team used data from the National Center for Education Statistics and Google Trends to bring to light an unexpected yet intriguing connection. The analysis uncovered a correlation coefficient of 0.7520179 and p < 0.05, spanning the years 2012 to 2021. Our findings not only raise questions but also ignite curiosity as to why this correlation exists. Are the Nordic aspirations of consuming family-friendly fjords driving this educational pursuit or is it simply a coincidence? This paper seeks to unravel the enigma and indulge in some lighthearted banter to celebrate the quirky nuances of academia.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
As we unravel the unlikely alliance between the pursuit of Master's degrees in Family and Consumer Science and the bewitching allure of Norwegian migration, we find ourselves confronted with a motley crew of scholarly works. In "Smith and Doe's Observations on Educational Pursuits and Geographical Quirks," the authors delve into the intriguing realm of academic and geographic aspirations, providing a solid foundation for our own enigmatic exploration. Building upon this foundation, Jones et al.'s "Tales of Nordic Curiosity: A Statistical Odyssey" dissects the whims of wanderlust and academic fervor in a manner that lays the groundwork for a lighthearted romp through our research.
However, as we delve deeper, we encounter a trove of sources that emphasize the peculiar and unorthodox nature of our investigation. "The Nordic Dream: A Comparative Analysis of Google Queries and Educational Choices" by Lorem and Ipsum sheds light on the unconventional interplay between internet search trends and scholarly pursuits. Their findings hint at a quirky dance between the desire to immerse in the familial embrace of the Nordic lands and the pursuit of knowledge in family and consumer sciences.
Continuing down this rabbit hole of academic inquiry, we encounter non-fiction literary companions that provide a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of our pursuit. The poignant memoirs of Elizabeth Gilbert in "Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia" perhaps serve as a metaphorical precursor to our own scholarly expedition. While Gilbert's odyssey takes her across continents in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, our quest involves a cerebral exploration of academic and geographical yearnings.
Turning our attention to the realm of fiction, we encounter a plethora of literary delights that, although not directly related to our scholarly pursuit, offer a whimsical contrast to the gravity of our research. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" by F. Scott Fitzgerald serves as a delightful reminder of the unpredictable nature of life's journeys, a sentiment that resonates with the capricious dance of academic pursuits and migration aspirations. Furthermore, the endless complexities of familial dynamics and the innate human desire for adventure find a whimsical portrayal in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, which, although fantastical in nature, intertwines the threads of kinship and curiosity with palpable charm.
In a similar vein, our cinematic odyssey presents us with tangentially related narratives that offer a light-hearted interpretation of academic and migratory quests. The whimsical charm of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," directed by Ben Stiller, invites us to revel in the escapades of a daydreaming soul whose yearning for adventure sparks an unconventional journey. Additionally, the endearing hilarity of "The Grand Budapest Hotel," directed by Wes Anderson, offers a quirky immersion into the zany world of hospitality, beckoning us to contemplate the unforeseen escapades that await when academic pursuits and wanderlust collide.
As we navigate this labyrinth of scholarly inquiry, it becomes evident that our pursuit is not just an exploration of statistical correlation but a celebration of the whimsical harmonies that underpin the human intellectual odyssey. Therefore, let us embrace our academic inquiries with the verve of a linguistic acrobat and the unrelenting curiosity of a scholarly detective solving the enigmatic mysteries of academia.

Correlation r = 0.7520179 (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 = 0.5655309 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 56.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to immigrate to norway') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Master's degrees awarded in consumer sciences) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.

p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.012. 0.0121120587585158020000000000
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 0.75 in 1.2% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 83 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.

[ 0.23, 0.94 ] 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.
