[[DISCUSSION]]

The unexpected and statistically significant correlation between renewable energy production in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the points scored by the Indianapolis Colts has left us pondering the profound implications of this improbable relationship. As we harken back to the scholarly works in the literature review that initially seemed as whimsical as a fumble turned touchdown, it is clear that our findings provide empirical support for the unorthodox notions explored in those sources.

Smith's (2015) proposition regarding the potential role of the Dinaric Alps in fostering an energy connection that transcends borders now takes on a newfound resonance, akin to a perfectly executed flea-flicker play. Our results support the notion put forth by Smith, underscoring the significance of geographical factors in shaping the performance of a football team thousands of miles away. It seems that the potential energy harnessed within the Dinaric Alps may indeed extend its influence to the gridiron of American football in ways that stretch the bounds of conventional wisdom.

Furthermore, Doe's (2018) emphasis on the interconnectedness of energy flow and athletic prowess gains additional credence in light of our findings. The tangible correlation between renewable energy production and the points scored by the Colts suggests that the energy dynamics in southeastern Europe may indeed exert an unexpected influence on the athletic capabilities of transatlantic sports franchises. It appears that Doe's insights were not merely a playful punt, but rather a prescient observation that aligns with the empirical reality we have uncovered.

While it may have seemed far-fetched at first, the study by Jones et al. (2019) provided a quantitative analysis that now resonates with a surprising clarity. The potential link posited by the authors between hydropower utilization in Bosnia and Herzegovina and an offensive surge in sports teams is now supported by our empirical evidence, prompting us to reconsider the conventional boundaries of energy's impact on athletic performance. It seems the road to victory in sports may indeed be paved, in part, by the flow of renewable energy from unexpected sources.

Nestled within the playful narratives and fictitious accounts in the literature review, the writings of authors such as Green E. R. Gy, Watt A. Connection, and Kilowatt E. Power have taken on a newfound seriousness. What once appeared as lighthearted jest now forms a part of the tapestry of knowledge surrounding the profound and unexpected influence of renewable energy on the athletic domain. It seems that the power play of energy has indeed unlocked the potential to shape sports victories in ways that defy conventional expectations.

Suffusing these serious discussions with a lighthearted lens, the happenings in popular culture and entertainment value take on a renewed significance. The portrayal of the potential influence of renewable energy on sports teams in television programs such as "The Power Gridiron" and "Energy End Zone Extravaganza" now serves as a reminder that sometimes, even in the realm of whimsical storytelling, kernels of truth may emerge. As we peel back the layers of this unexpected connection, we are reminded that moments of insight may arise from the most unexpected sources, much like a successful trick play in a crucial game.

In essence, our findings provide empirical validation for the tumultuous and entertaining journey into the uncharted territory where renewable energy and sports intersect, as outlined in the literature review. This unlikely connection, highlighted by the statistical significance of the relationship between energy production in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the points scored by the Indianapolis Colts, calls for a reevaluation of the traditional boundaries between energy and athletic prowess – an endeavor as engaging as a game-winning field goal. It is clear that the fusion of serious scholarship, imaginative storytelling, and popular culture has yielded a comprehensive understanding of this peculiar phenomenon, inviting further exploration into the electrifying influence of renewable energy on the world of sports.

Correlation r = 0.6583301 (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 = 0.4333986 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 43.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Points scored by the Indianapolis Colts) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Renewable energy production in Bosnia and Herzegovina) over the 30 years from 1992 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.7E-5. 0.0000766695581725888700000000
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 0.66 in 0.0077% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 13,043 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 29 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 29 because we have two variables measured over a period of 30 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.

[ 0.39, 0.82 ] 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.
