[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith et al. (2015) delved into the art of clean sheet prowess in "Goalkeepers and the Beautiful Game," elucidating the significance of goalkeeping excellence in football. Their work highlights the crucial role of goalkeepers in preventing opposing teams from scoring, emphasizing the pivotal nature of keeping a clean sheet in matches. While their study primarily focuses on the impact of goalkeeping on match outcomes, it sets the stage for exploring the unexpected correlations that may emerge from the statistics of cleansheets achieved.

Doe and Johnson (2018) examined the labor market dynamics in "Architects Across Borders," shedding light on the intricacies of the architectural profession and the factors influencing the prevalence of architects within specific regions. Their comprehensive analysis presents a wealth of data on the demographics and distribution of architects, offering a fertile ground for uncovering potential links between the world of football and the domain of architecture.

Jones (2020) further expanded the discourse on architectural trends in "Building Beyond Borders," where the author plumbed the depths of architectural innovation and the societal factors shaping the architectural landscape. While Jones' work may seem distant from the realm of football, it provides invaluable insights into the architectural milieu, offering a canvas upon which unexpected connections may be painted.

Turning to works of fiction, "The Goalkeeper's Blueprint to Architectural Ingenuity," a novel by J.K. Rowling (2021), weaves a whimsical tale of a goalkeeper turned architect, blurring the boundaries between footballing prowess and architectural creativity. While the narrative unfolds in fantastical realms, it beckons us to entertain the notion of a clandestine interplay between the domains of goalkeeping and architecture.

In a departure from the conventional sources, the researchers indulged in an unconventional excursion, perusing the backs of shampoo bottles in a quest for inspiration. Surprisingly, amidst the frothy promises of voluminous locks and luscious scents, a revelation dawned – the foamy concoctions may hold the elusive secret to the perplexing correlation between cleansheets and architectural pursuits.

Strap in for a madcap ride through the corridors of unexpected connections, where the improbable meets the inexplicable, and the whimsical holds hands with the statistical.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The alignment of architectural pursuits in Puerto Rico with the exploits of Golden Glove winners in the English Premier League may at first seem as paradoxical as finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Despite the seemingly incongruous nature of these two realms, our findings fortify the surprising correlation and prompt a reevaluation of the potential intersections between the artistry of football and the creation of architectural wonders. As Smith et al. (2015) intimated in their work on goalkeeping prowess, the significance of keeping a clean sheet extends beyond the confines of the football pitch. Our results bolster this notion, shedding light on the unanticipated link with architectural demographics.

Doe and Johnson's (2018) examination of labor market dynamics echoes the essence of our findings, underscoring how the prevalence of architects intertwines with unexpected factors. Likewise, Jones (2020) provided an insightful canvas, allowing us to paint the unforeseen connection that has now come to light. Even the charming story spun by J.K. Rowling (2021) in "The Goalkeeper's Blueprint to Architectural Ingenuity" bears semblance to the real-world correlation we unveiled.

The waggish journey through the shampoo bottle narratives may at first seem as ludicrous as the premise of a goalkeeper moonlighting as an architect. However, buoyed by our findings, these whimsical inspirations appear less like flights of fancy and more like unlikely sources of hidden wisdom.

In light of the statistically significant correlation coefficient and the compelling scatterplot, we are compelled to ponder the implications of this curious association. Our discovery serves as a reminder of the capricious nature of statistical exploration, where unexpected relationships often emerge. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of data, let us not forget that within the quotidian lies a tapestry of incongruous and remarkable connections awaiting discovery.

Correlation r = 0.7870415 (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 = 0.6194343 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 61.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of architects in Puerto Rico) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Cleansheets Achieved by Golden Glove Winners in the English Premier League) over the 18 years from 2005 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000106. 0.0001063407876964278900000000
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 0.79 in 0.0106% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 9,404 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.

[ 0.51, 0.92 ] 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.
