[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The pursuit of uncovering the peculiar correlation between Master's degrees in Theology and religious vocations and the presence of drywall and ceiling tile installers in Texas has led researchers on a journey through an eclectic assortment of scholarly investigations. Smith and Doe, in their seminal work "The Divine Drywall Dilemma," examined the ecclesiastical inclinations of drywall and ceiling tile installers in various regions, shedding light on the interplay between religious leanings and vocational choices in the construction industry. Jones, in "Sacred Surfaces: The Spiritual Significance of Ceiling Tiles," offered a profound exploration of the divine significance that may be attributed to the act of installing ceiling tiles, drawing intriguing parallels with theological pursuits.
As the study expands beyond the conventional boundaries of academic research, it ventures into uncharted territories of literature that, on the surface, may not appear directly related. The works of "The Godly Gypsum: A Theological Treatise on Drywall" by Reverend William Builder and "Ceiling Sanctity: A Profound Parable" by Sister Ceilinga, while fictional, provide rich allegorical insights into the spiritual connotations of construction materials. The silver screen too has offered its own renditions of these enigmatic connections, with movies like "Heavenly Hammer: The Theology of Tools" and "Tile Testament: An Epic of Ecclesiastical Edifice" offering glimpses into the intersection of divinity and drywall.
Though the pursuit of understanding the correlation between Master's degrees in Theology and religious vocations and the number of drywall and ceiling tile installers in Texas may seem whimsical, these various literary and cinematic explorations demonstrate the enduring intrigue that surrounds this curious connection. As researchers, it is our duty to approach this investigation with open minds and a healthy sense of humor, for as we unravel the Theology-Tile Tangle, we may find that truth is indeed stranger than fiction, and often, far more entertaining.

Limitations and Considerations:
Amidst this academic adventure, it is paramount to acknowledge the inherent limitations of our methodology. While we endeavored to cast a wide net in capturing pertinent data, the constraints of publicly available statistical records inevitably imposed boundaries on the depth and granularity of our analyses. Furthermore, the complex web of external factors influencing vocational choices and educational pursuits eluded capture within the confines of our dataset, teasing us with the tantalizing prospect of uncovering additional layers of the theological-tile enigma.
It is within this context of scholarly humility and whimsical reverence for the intricacies of data analysis that we unveil our methodological odyssey. As we tread the hallowed grounds of statistical inquiry and embark on this academic escapade, we invite our esteemed colleagues to join us in the riveting pursuit of unraveling the paradoxical relationship between Master's degrees in Theology and the vocation of drywall and ceiling tile installation in the charmingly confounding expanse of Texas.

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 = 0.8207326 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 82.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of drywall and ceiling tile installers in Texas) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Master's degrees awarded in Theology and religious vocations) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000305. 0.0003052553490293898500000000
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 0.91 in 0.0305% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,276 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.
[ 0.64, 0.98 ] 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
