AI explanation

Every time Maria aced her opponent, it inspired someone to 'serve' the farming community. As her WTA title count rose, so did the 'rural racket' of farm equipment mechanics in New Hampshire. It's as if her success was the 'seed' that sprouted a newfound interest in all things agricultural machinery. After all, when Maria was on fire, it was only natural for others to want to 'rake' in their own victories, 'harvest' their skills, and 'plow' through any obstacles in their career paths. It's safe to say that Maria Sharapova's triumphs didn't just stay confined to the tennis court - they served as a 'grand slam' of motivation for aspiring farm equipment mechanics in the 'granite state.'

[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the annals of statistical analysis, there has been no shortage of peculiar correlations unearthed by ambitious researchers striving to uncover the unexpected. While some may dismiss such findings as mere statistical quirks, the interconnectedness of disparate fields often reveals itself in the most unconventional of ways. Our present study delves into one such enigmatic correlation, namely, the apparent relationship between the enviable tennis accomplishments of Maria Sharapova and the labor force of farm equipment mechanics in the scenic state of New Hampshire.

On the surface, the world of professional tennis and the realm of agricultural mechanics may seem as incongruent as a forehand winner on a grass court and a tractor plowing a field. However, our research endeavors to challenge this perception by exploring the underlying statistical bond that seems to exist between Maria Sharapova's Women's Tennis Association (WTA) title count and the number of individuals laboring in the agricultural machinery maintenance sector within the state of New Hampshire. At first blush, this connection may appear as elusive as a well-disguised drop shot, but as we navigate through the data and statistical nuances, we come to appreciate the veracity of this seemingly improbable relationship.

Leveraging a comprehensive dataset spanning the years 2010 to 2017 and drawing upon sources including Wikipedia and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, our research team has endeavored to unravel the tangled web of statistics and unveil the perplexing affinity between the triumphs of a tennis luminary and the vocational pursuits of those upholding the agrarian machinery infrastructure in the quintessential New England state.

The findings of this investigation have not only elicited bemusement and intrigue among our team but have also underscored the whimsical interconnectedness of the world we inhabit. Thus, as we embark on this scholarly expedition to dissect a correlation as striking as an ace on serve, we aim to illuminate a path for future researchers to delve into the untapped territories where the unlikeliest of connections may just await discovery.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The body of literature related to the correlation between Maria Sharapova's WTA Title Count and the number of farm equipment mechanics in New Hampshire is eerily sparse, to say the least. Smith and Doe's seminal work "Tennis Triumphs and Tractor Troubles" offers a thorough examination of the historical trends but stops short of providing hard statistical evidence. Meanwhile, Jones et al.'s treatise "Racquet Resonance and Rural Resources" offers intriguing qualitative insights, yet fails to delve into quantitative analysis, leaving much to be desired in terms of explanatory power.

Turning to non-fiction works on agricultural matters, "Farming in New Hampshire" by Green and "Tractors and Troubles: A Mechanic's Memoir" by Brown shed light on the realities of farm equipment maintenance. On the sports front, "The Inner Game of Tennis" by Gallwey and "Winning Ugly" by McEnroe offer psychological perspectives on athletic achievement. As we delve into the fiction realm, "The Farm" by Smith and "Racquet Rhapsody" by Jones seem to offer a whimsical, albeit unrelated, glimpse into the lives of fictional farmers and tennis players.

Beyond the conventional scholarly works, this research team took an unconventional approach to literature review, scouring sources that some may deem unorthodox. In a daring departure from academic convention, the team pored over the backs of shampoo bottles, seeking clues among the obscure ingredients and promises of voluminous hair. Although initially met with skepticism, this unorthodox method yielded unexpected insights into the correlation at hand, with the tantalizing scent of coconut and peach proving surprisingly relevant to both Maria Sharapova's career and the world of farm equipment mechanics.

In sum, while the literature presents an intriguing array of perspectives, this study stands as a testament to the unforeseen connections that lie just beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered amidst the statistical back-and-forth of professional tennis and the grease-streaked world of agricultural machinery maintenance.

Through the adept application of statistical tests, we endeavored to unravel the veiled relationship between Maria Sharapova's WTA title count and the population of farm equipment mechanics. The incisive scrutiny of inter-field correlations yielded an intriguing insight into the resonance between these ostensibly unrelated realms, much like a well-placed drop shot catching an opponent by surprise.

In this systematic pursuit, we ensured the implementation of rigorous measures to minimize biases and confounding variables, resembling the strategic forethought and precision characteristic of a structured tennis match. We guarded against unforced errors by corroborating our findings through cross-verification and sensitivity analyses, aiming to fortify the robustness of our discoveries, much akin to a tennis player reinforcing their playing tactics mid-match.

However, just as in the unpredictable world of sports, where a topspin lob can take an unforeseen trajectory, our methodology also bears the occasional limitation. Given the reliance on publicly available data sources, we acknowledge the inherent constraints of potential inaccuracies or omissions within the retrieved information. Nevertheless, with the same resilience exhibited by a tennis player navigating a fluctuating match, we proceeded judiciously, seeking to extract and expound upon the peculiar relationship unearthed within the statistical terrain.

In the wake of these methodological pursuits, we have endeavored to present a rigorous and whimsically persistent analysis, aiming to shed light on the unexpected concurrence between Maria Sharapova's WTA title count and the labor force of farm equipment mechanics in the bucolic setting of New Hampshire. Thus, as we navigate through the labyrinthine intersection of sports and agrarian pursuits, our methodology has endeavored to orchestrate a symphony of statistical exploration, revealing correlations as unforeseen as a well-struck drop shot on a grass court.

Correlation r = 0.9284767 (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 = 0.8620690 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 86.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of farm equipment mechanics in New Hampshire) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Maria Sharapova's WTA Title Count) over the 8 years from 2010 through 2017.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00087. 0.0008663433398814739000000000
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 0.93 in 0.087% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,154 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.

[ 0.65, 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. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
  5. 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.
