[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between the number of breweries in the United States and the stock price of Salesforce (CRM) has not been well-explored in academic literature, prompting our thirst for further investigation. Smith et al. (2016) delved into the financial implications of the craft beer industry, but their focus was primarily on market valuation rather than examining specific correlations with individual stock prices. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2019) discussed the burgeoning nature of microbreweries in the US, yet their analysis did not extend to the impact on specific companies within the tech sector.

Moving further afield, "The Economics of Beer" by Swinnen and Briskin (2011) provides a comprehensive overview of the economic forces at play in the brewing industry. Although this work offers valuable insights into the market dynamics of brewing, it fails to draw a direct parallel to the performance of technology stocks. In a more fictional vein, "Brew Ha Ha! The Craft Beer Board Game" by Spiral Galaxy Games (2018) takes a playful approach to simulating the brewery business, but its findings are limited to the realm of gaming rather than financial analysis.

As the search for relevant insights delves into unexpected realms, TV shows such as "Brew Dogs" and "Punk’d Brewery" have been explored to gain a deeper understanding of the brewery culture and its potential impacts on the broader market. While these shows may not offer direct financial data, the quirky ambiance and creative energy of the craft beer scene provide an offbeat backdrop from which to approach our investigation. Cheers to the unexpected connections, and humorously named breweries, as we froth up the academia with our un-beer-lievably unique approach to stock market analysis.

Correlation r = 0.9349908 (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 = 0.8742078 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Salesforce's stock price (CRM)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of Breweries in the United States) over the 18 years from 2005 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.31E-8. 0.0000000130649597490129840000
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 1.31E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 76,540,611 random variables You don't actually need 76 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
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.

[ 0.83, 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

  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.
