AI explanation
As household spending on bakery products went down, there was a rye-se in the price of flour which led to tighter dough-nomic conditions for bakeries. Unable to make enough bread, they had to knead extra help, and that's how they ended up hiring some rising stars to yeast their financial troubles. These new players turned out to be crusty on defense, creating a loafing mentality among the Vikings' opponents, and ultimately, it was the lack of dough affecting the rise of their rivals' scoring opportunities. In other words, it's a case of the Vikings' success being directly linked to the bread-winning strategies of the baking industry!Model: dalle-3

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The link between seemingly unrelated variables has long intrigued researchers, with numerous studies seeking to unravel unexpected connections that defy conventional wisdom. Smith et al. (2015) delved into the intricate relationship between consumer spending habits and sports performance, shedding light on the nuanced interplay of seemingly disparate factors. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2017) examined the impact of dietary choices on athletic outcomes, uncovering surprising correlations that challenge traditional conceptualizations of sports performance.
Moving beyond the realm of traditional academic research, real-world literature also offers valuable insights into the intersection of consumer behavior and athletic prowess. In "Bread, Baking, and Ballgames" (2020), food historian Jane Baker explores the historical significance of baked goods in sports culture, providing a rich tapestry of anecdotes that underscore the enduring connection between bread and athletics. Likewise, in "Gridiron Gastronomy: A Culinary Exploration of Football" (2018), culinary expert John Dough offers a flavorful exploration of the culinary traditions that permeate the world of football, highlighting the often-overlooked role of bakery products in shaping game-day experiences.
Venturing further into the realm of fictitious narratives, the novel "The Pastry Playbook" (2021) by Oven Yeasterson presents a whimsical tale of a baking aficionado who stumbles upon a magical recipe linking the performance of a fictional football team to the consumption of pastries. Meanwhile, "The Sourdough Supremacy" (2019) by Crusty Loafman weaves a fantastical narrative where a group of intrepid bakers discovers a parallel universe where the fate of a football team hinges on the success of their artisanal sourdough creations.
In a departure from traditional research sources, the authors also conducted a comprehensive analysis of unconventional literary materials, including grocery store receipts, cookbooks, and even the enigmatic writings found on the back of CVS receipts. While these sources may seem whimsical, they provided unexpected insights into the nuances of consumer purchasing patterns and their peculiar relationship with athletic outcomes.
As we embark on this scholarly exploration, it becomes clear that the intertwining of US household spending on bakery products and the performance of the Minnesota Vikings' defense transcends the boundaries of conventional academic discourse. The literature, both real and imagined, offers a tapestry of narratives that not only entertain but also invite us to approach this intriguing correlation with an open mind and a hearty sense of humor.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To explore the perplexing connection between US household spending on bakery products and the defensive performance of the Minnesota Vikings, we employed a mix of analytical techniques that would make a pastry chef proud. Our data collection process involved delving into the statistical baker's dozen from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and sifting through the digitized football fields of Pro-Football-Reference.com. We gathered a plethora of information from the years 2000 to 2022, creating a veritable buffet of data for our hungry analyses.
Our first step involved kneading the raw data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, carefully weighing the household spending on bakery products, and allowing the dough to rise into a savory, statistical loaf. Next, we tackled the Pro-Football-Reference.com database, sifting through the touchdowns, field goals, and points allowed by the Minnesota Vikings. We stirred this football stew with a ladle of statistical seasoning, creating a statistical roux that would tantalize the taste buds of even the most discerning data connoisseur.
With our data prepared like a well-risen soufflé, we then faced the challenge of finding the recipe for correlation. Using a combination of regression analyses and advanced statistical software, we churned through the data like a master baker working dough, searching for any signs of a binding agent between household bakery spending and the Vikings' defensive prowess.
After our statistical oven timer dinged, signaling the completion of our analyses, we emerged with a correlation coefficient worthy of a standing ovation (or at least a polite golf clap). With an unexpected and rather yeast-spiring correlation coefficient of 0.6065286 and p < 0.01, our findings set the stage for an intriguing exploration into the world of pastry-laden performance metrics.
In conclusion, our quirky and unconventional approach to this research has not only unveiled a surprising correlation but also exemplified the importance of embracing unexpected connections in the realm of sports and consumer habits. Much like a perfectly crafted croissant, our methodology has risen to the challenge and brought forth a dough-licious revelation that will surely leave a lasting impression on the academic oven of ideas.

[[DISCUSSION]]
The results of our study have provided compelling evidence of a significant and rather dough-lightful relationship between US household spending on bakery products and the points allowed by the Minnesota Vikings. These findings are in line with the prior research by Smith et al. (2015) and Doe and Jones (2017), who explored the intriguing interplay between consumer spending habits and sports performance. Much like a perfectly baked loaf, our study has risen to the occasion and kneaded its way into the realm of unconventional correlations, adding an unexpected twist to the field of sports analytics.
The literature review illuminated the ways in which unconventional narratives and historical anecdotes have hinted at the intersection of culinary indulgences and athletic prowess, and our results have validated these seemingly fantastical connections. The unexpected correlation coefficient of 0.6065286 and a p-value of less than 0.01 have reinforced the notion that there may indeed be a substantial association between the consumption of delectable pastries and the defensive performance of the Vikings. Perhaps, the aroma of freshly baked bread truly holds the secret to bolstering the Vikings' defense, just as "The Pastry Playbook" (2021) whimsically suggested.
Our findings not only support the existence of a "dough-licious defense" phenomenon but also emphasize the need to incorporate culinary factors into the broader understanding of sports performance. Just as bakers meticulously measure ingredients to yield the perfect confection, our study urges researchers to carefully consider the unique flavor profiles of consumer behaviors and their potential impact on athletic outcomes.
The scatterplot analysis vividly captures the intriguing pattern, showcasing how household spending on bakery products rises as the points allowed by the Vikings increase. It's as if the fate of the Vikings' defense is intricately interwoven with the flaky layers of a buttery croissant - a delightful visualization that challenges traditional paradigms of sports analysis. As we digest these results, it's evident that this dough-licious defense is more than just a pinch of flour in the mix; it's an integral ingredient in the savory recipe of sports analytics and consumer behavior.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
INTRODUCTION
Ah, the sweet smell of victory on the gridiron, and the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread. Who would have thought that these two worlds could ever collide? Yet, here we are, on the verge of unearthing the curious intertwining of US household spending on bakery products and the performance of the Minnesota Vikings' defense. Welcome to the dough-licious domain where carb-loaded treats and touchdowns converge.
While most researchers may stick to the conventional topics, we have decided to roll up our sleeves, dough-style, and dive into the world of unexpected correlations. Picture this: fans cheering in the stands, the scent of cinnamon rolls wafting through the air, and the Vikings holding their ground on the field. Intrigued? Well, you should be!
In this paper, we embark on a journey to explore the uncovered link between the consumption of delectable goodies and the defensive might of the Vikings. Prepare yourself for a ride through the realm of pastry-laden points and touchdowns – a journey that promises to be both enlightening and delightfully pun-filled.
So, tighten your apron strings, grab your favorite baguette, and join us as we venture into the depths of the dough-licious defense phenomenon. It's time to unravel the mystery that lies between the shelves of the local bakery and the tackles of the gridiron. After all, who knew that touchdowns and turnovers could have a taste?
[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the data revealed a surprising and statistically significant correlation between US household spending on bakery products and points allowed by the Minnesota Vikings. The correlation coefficient of 0.6065286 indicates a moderately strong positive linear relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables during the time period from 2000 to 2022. The obtained r-squared value of 0.3678769 suggests that approximately 36.79% of the variability in points allowed by the Vikings can be explained by the variability in household spending on bakery products. Furthermore, the p-value of less than 0.01 provides strong evidence against the null hypothesis of no relationship, supporting the existence of a significant association between the two variables.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the scatterplot depicts a clear and convincing pattern, with household spending on bakery products exhibiting an upward trend as the points allowed by the Minnesota Vikings increase. This visual representation underscores the noteworthy link between carb-loaded indulgences and the defensive performance of the Vikings on the gridiron.
These findings not only highlight the unusual correlation between the consumption of delectable treats and the defensive prowess of the Vikings but also open the door to a multitude of pastry-related puns and culinary sports metaphors. When the Vikings' defense crumbles, could it be that the fans are in dire knead of more pastries to lift their spirits? Or perhaps the players need to rise to the occasion with a buttery croissant in hand? The possibilities are as endless as the varieties of bread in a well-stocked bakery.
Our results beckon further exploration into the dough-licious defense phenomenon and encourage a shift in perspective when considering the factors influencing the performance of sports teams. As we digest these findings, let us savor the flavor of this unconventional relationship between pastries and pigskins, where the dough rolls on as the Vikings tackle their way through the season.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, our findings present a deliriously doughy connection between US household spending on bakery products and the defensive performance of the Minnesota Vikings. The statistically significant correlation between these seemingly unrelated variables has left us knee-deep in pastry-related puns and culinary sports metaphors.
While it might seem like a half-baked idea, there is no denying the loaf-ly relationship between carb-loaded indulgences and the gridiron prowess of the Vikings. As the points allowed by the Vikings rise, so does the temptation for a freshly baked croissant or a fluffy cinnamon roll. It appears that the fans' cravings and the team's defensive performance are intricately intertwined in a way that tickles the dough-cial and tackles our conventional understanding of sports performance.
However, despite the temptation to knead out more puns and pursue further research into the fascinating dough-licious defense phenomenon, our findings present a conclusive end. It's time to roll out of the oven and proclaim that no more research is needed in this area. Let's toast to this enlightening revelation as we bid adieu to this unexpected collision of carb-loaded pastries and the gridiron prowess of the Vikings.
As this chapter in the annals of research comes to a close, we invite you to ponder the next time the Vikings face a defensive challenge – could it be that a fragrant bakery nearby holds the secret to their success? After all, in the world of unexpected correlations, anything is possible. Keep calm and carry a doughnut!

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 = 0.3678769 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 36.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Points allowed by the Minnesota Vikings) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., US household spending on bakery products) over the 23 years from 2000 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0022. 0.0021530189582936042000000000
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 0.61 in 0.22% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 464 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 22 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 22 because we have two variables measured over a period of 23 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.
[ 0.26, 0.81 ] 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.
Try it yourself
You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."
