AI explanation

As more people became knowledgeable about planting seeds and nurturing crops, they couldn't help but transfer that expertise to the bedroom. It's a case of their agricultural skills really blossoming and sowing the seeds of, uh, personal growth. And who can blame them for wanting to apply their newfound knowledge of cultivation and animal husbandry in all aspects of life? A bountiful harvest in the fields evidently led to a spike in, well, family planning at home. Plus, the idea of introducing some farm-fresh methods to the concept of reproduction clearly struck a fertile chord with these degree-holding agriculturists. It's like they say, when you have a green thumb, you might as well put it to use in the game of life!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we set out on this inquiry into the strange bedfellows of Agricultural Associates degrees and "how to make baby" Google searches, we begin by examining the existing literature on the matter. Smith and Doe's seminal work "Agricultural Education and Its Impact on Society" offers a comprehensive overview of the historical and societal significance of agricultural education programs. They explore the diverse career paths that stem from agricultural studies, from farm management to environmental policy-making, but unfortunately, they fail to touch upon the blossoming correlation we aim to investigate.

Jones, in "The Economics of Agriculture", lays out an in-depth analysis of the economic factors shaping the agricultural landscape. While Jones' work sheds light on the financial intricacies of crop production and global trade, it regrettably omits any mention of its potential influence on the propagation of our species.

Now, as we move beyond the academic realm, let's plow through the garden of non-fiction literature. In Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma", the acclaimed author takes readers on a journey through the American food industry, examining the complexities of modern food production. While Pollan ventures into the corn fields and cattle ranches, his exploration of human reproduction is, perhaps understandably, left unexplored.

On the fictional front, who can forget John Steinbeck's classic, "The Grapes of Wrath," a poignant tale of migrant farmers during the Great Depression? Although Steinbeck masterfully captures the struggles of the Joad family as they seek a better life in California, he neglects to depict any correlations between tilling the soil and multiplying the family.

Moving into the realm of cartoons and children's shows, "Bob the Builder" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" may not seem immediately relevant to the topic at hand, but consider the valuable life lessons they impart. Both shows highlight teamwork, problem-solving, and the joy of creation – qualities that may just come in handy whether you're tending to a bountiful harvest or nurturing your own little sprout.

In summary, while the literature offers a fertile ground for exploring the relationship between agricultural education and procreative intentions, it's evident that the specific correlation we're investigating remains largely uncharted territory. As we continue our exploration, let's embrace the unexpected intersections of academia, literature, and childhood nostalgia, and nurture the seeds of inquiry with a healthy dose of humor and curiosity. After all, it's not every day that we find ourselves plowing through such delightfully peculiar research!

[[RESULTS]]

The results of our study unearthed a striking correlation between the number of Associates degrees awarded in Agriculture and the frequency of Google searches for 'how to make baby'. With a correlation coefficient of 0.8599470, an r-squared of 0.7395088, and a p-value of less than 0.01 over the period from 2011 to 2021, we can confidently say that there's more to this connection than just sowing wild oats.

Fig. 1 presents a scatterplot that visually encapsulates the bountiful relationship between agricultural aspirations and the desire to grow a different kind of "crop". The plot shows a clear trend, with an increase in the number of Agriculture Associates degrees awarded coinciding with a surge in Google searches related to baby-making tips. It's as if the seeds of agricultural knowledge are germinating into an interest in, well, sowing something else entirely!

Now, this correlation may seem as surprising as finding a baby carrot in the middle of a wheat field, but it's a testament to the unexpected intersections of human pursuits.

These findings not only sprout fresh questions but also raise the possibility of a budding new field of study – "agricultural fertility studies". Imagine combining the skills of planting seeds with the nurturing care of planting a family. We could be witnessing the birth of a new generation of scholars who are equally adept at growing crops and raising little sprouts!

This research also has implications that extend to the practical realm. Who would have thought that the ebb and flow of agricultural interests could offer insights into family planning trends? The implications for agricultural and reproductive policies may be far-reaching, and it might just be a matter of time before we see agricultural subsidies tied to birth rates – talk about a "fertile" ground for policy innovation!

As we plow through the fertile fields of this surprising correlation, we must acknowledge the humor and whimsy that this unexpected connection brings to the table. It's a reminder that academic research doesn't always have to be as serious as a heart attack – sometimes, it can be as light-hearted as a comedic anecdote about a chicken crossing the road. So, let's celebrate the unexpected humor and insights that come from unearthing the most "cultivating" correlations. Who knew that the world of academia could be so pun-believably entertaining?

While Pollan ventures into the corn fields and cattle ranches, his exploration of human reproduction is, perhaps understandably, left unexplored.
On the fictional front, who can forget John Steinbeck's classic, "The Grapes of Wrath," a poignant tale of migrant farmers during the Great Depression? Although Steinbeck masterfully captures the struggles of the Joad family as they seek a better life in California, he neglects to depict any correlations between tilling the soil and multiplying the family.
Moving into the realm of cartoons and children's shows, "Bob the Builder" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" may not seem immediately relevant to the topic at hand, but consider the valuable life lessons they impart. Both shows highlight teamwork, problem-solving, and the joy of creation – qualities that may just come in handy whether you're tending to a bountiful harvest or nurturing your own little sprout.
In summary, while the literature offers a fertile ground for exploring the relationship between agricultural education and procreative intentions, it's evident that the specific correlation we're investigating remains largely uncharted territory. As we continue our exploration, let's embrace the unexpected intersections of academia, literature, and childhood nostalgia, and nurture the seeds of inquiry with a healthy dose of humor and curiosity. After all, it's not every day that we find ourselves plowing through such delightfully peculiar research!

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our study unearthed a striking correlation between the number of Associates degrees awarded in Agriculture and the frequency of Google searches for 'how to make baby'. With a correlation coefficient of 0.8599470, an r-squared of 0.7395088, and a p-value of less than 0.01 over the period from 2011 to 2021, we can confidently say that there's more to this connection than just sowing wild oats.
Fig. 1 presents a scatterplot that visually encapsulates the bountiful relationship between agricultural aspirations and the desire to grow a different kind of "crop". The plot shows a clear trend, with an increase in the number of Agriculture Associates degrees awarded coinciding with a surge in Google searches related to baby-making tips. It's as if the seeds of agricultural knowledge are germinating into an interest in, well, sowing something else entirely!
Now, this correlation may seem as surprising as finding a baby carrot in the middle of a wheat field, but it's a testament to the unexpected intersections of human pursuits.
These findings not only sprout fresh questions but also raise the possibility of a budding new field of study – "agricultural fertility studies". Imagine combining the skills of planting seeds with the nurturing care of planting a family. We could be witnessing the birth of a new generation of scholars who are equally adept at growing crops and raising little sprouts!
This research also has implications that extend to the practical realm. Who would have thought that the ebb and flow of agricultural interests could offer insights into family planning trends? The implications for agricultural and reproductive policies may be far-reaching, and it might just be a matter of time before we see agricultural subsidies tied to birth rates – talk about a "fertile" ground for policy innovation!
As we plow through the fertile fields of this surprising correlation, we must acknowledge the humor and whimsy that this unexpected connection brings to the table. It's a reminder that academic research doesn't always have to be as serious as a heart attack – sometimes, it can be as light-hearted as a comedic anecdote about a chicken crossing the road. So, let's celebrate the unexpected humor and insights that come from unearthing the most "cultivating" correlations. Who knew that the world of academia could be so pun-believably entertaining?

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study not only validate the correlation between Associates degrees in Agriculture and "how to make baby" Google searches but also add a whimsical touch to the age-old adage of sowing wild oats. It seems that as agricultural aspirations bloom, so does the desire to, shall we say, cultivate a different kind of "yield".

Now, some may argue that this correlation is as unexpected as finding a baby carrot in a wheat field, but the numbers don't lie – the budding interest in agriculture seems to be entwined with the desire to plant a family. It's a reminder that the cultivation of knowledge in one area can unexpectedly sow the seeds of interest in another.

Our findings also lend weight to the potential emergence of a new interdisciplinary field we fondly call "agricultural fertility studies". This field promises to combine the expertise of nurturing crops with the tender care of raising a family. Picture a scholar who not only knows the perfect temperature to grow tomatoes but also has a knack for swaddling a newborn – talk about a well-rounded skill set!

As we hungrily dig into this correlation, let's not forget the practical implications. Who would have thought that the rise and fall of agricultural interests could offer insights into family planning trends? The implications for agricultural and reproductive policies are aplenty, and we might soon witness the birth of policies that reward both bountiful harvests and burgeoning families.

While some may find the connection between agriculture and family planning as humorous as a joke about a chicken crossing the road, it's clear that academic research can be as light-hearted as a children's fable and still yield meaningful insights. So, let's raise a toast to the unexpected humor and insight that this research has brought to light. After all, it's not every day that we stumble upon such a fertile ground for cultivating correlations!

Sowing the Seeds of Baby-Making: The Agricultural Associates' Influence on Google Searches

[[ABSTRACT]]
This paper delves into the unexpected and uncharted territory of the correlation between the number of Associates degrees awarded in Agriculture and the frequency of Google searches for 'how to make baby'. Through a statistically rigorous investigation of data from the National Center for Education Statistics and Google Trends, we uncovered a positively blooming connection between these seemingly unrelated phenomena. Our findings revealed a surprisingly robust correlation coefficient of 0.8599470 and a p-value of less than 0.01 over the decade from 2011 to 2021. It seems that as the interest in cultivating agriculture grows, so does the interest in cultivating offspring! We discuss the implications of our research, including the potential for a new interdisciplinary field of "agricultural fertility studies" and the implications for future agricultural and reproductive policies. This study not only sprouts intriguing questions but also reaps new insights into the unexpected influences on family planning.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our research has unearthed a positively blooming correlation between Associates degrees in Agriculture and the frequency of Google searches for 'how to make baby'. It seems that as interest in cultivating agriculture grows, so does the interest in cultivating offspring! The correlation coefficient of 0.8599470 and a p-value of less than 0.01 over the decade from 2011 to 2021 certainly gives us something to chew on - and it's not just the farm-fresh produce!

The findings of this study suggest that there may be more to the connection between agricultural aspirations and baby-making tips than meets the eye. Imagine a future where the fields are as fertile for growing families as they are for growing crops! Perhaps it's time to consider a dual major in soil tilling and swaddling techniques? The possibilities are as endless as a field of ripe strawberries, and just as sweet!

However, it's important to note that correlation does not imply causation, and we must approach these findings with a healthy dose of humor and curiosity. As much as we'd love to believe that planting tomato seeds could also lead to an increase in the birth rate, let's not get too carried away with our farming fantasies. There's still much to plow through before we can definitively conclude the causative mechanisms at play here.

Despite the comedic undertones of this research, the implications for agricultural and reproductive policies are no laughing matter. Who knows, we might see a future where agricultural subsidies come with a side of ovulation encouragement! But let's not hop on that bandwagon just yet; it's important to tread carefully in this uncharted territory, while still allowing ourselves to revel in the quirky and unexpected correlations that this study has brought to light.

In the spirit of academic inquiry and downright bizarre connections, we proudly declare that no further research in this area is required. It seems we've plowed through this field and come out with some amusingly ripe findings. As the saying goes, we've planted the seed of knowledge, and it may just grow into something unexpectedly fruitful!

Correlation r = 0.8599470 (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 = 0.7395088 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 74% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'how to make baby') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Associates degrees awarded in Agriculture) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00069. 0.0006859433109034609000000000
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 0.86 in 0.069% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,458 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.54, 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.

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.
