Teeing Up the Numbers: A Fairway to Measure the Winning Score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the Librarians of Nevada
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into a seemingly improbable pairing - the correlation between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. Despite initial skepticism, we found a striking relationship, teeing up an unexpected link between the world of golf and library science. Our research team, armed with data from Golfstats and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dug deep into this peculiar topic and unearthed a correlation coefficient of 0.7503413 with a p-value less than 0.01, spanning the years from 2003 to 2018.
While the connection may appear to be a long shot, our findings suggest that there may be more than meets the eye. We observed a noteworthy trend – as the winning score in the golf championship decreased, the number of librarians in Nevada increased, and vice versa. While the exact mechanism underlying this link remains elusive, it certainly adds a new dimension to the often fore-gone conclusion that athletic events and intellectual pursuits exist in separate sand traps.
As we drive our conclusions home, this research offers a hole-in-one opportunity for future investigations into the peculiar dynamics at play. To librarians and golf aficionados alike, we hope our findings bring joy akin to finding the perfect read or sinking a tricky putt - a satisfying blend of the unexpected and the inexplicable. And remember, when it comes to correlations, it's not just about the clubs; some well-placed books might just hold the key to a winning swing.

[[INTRODUCTION]]
Golf and librarianship - two seemingly unrelated fields. One is all about birdies and eagles, while the other is more about Dewey and cataloging. However, in the world of research, it's important to keep an open mind and not to shush any potential correlations. After all, you never know when you might find a par-adoxical connection that leaves you feeling green with envy.
We'll start with the numbers – golf, a sport of precise calculations and strategic swings, and librarians, the unsung heroes of knowledge organization and information retrieval. It might seem like comparing apples and oranges, or perhaps in this case, comparing birdies and bookworms. Yet, as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover – the numbers we've uncovered tell a different tale, one that might just make you want to stop by the 19th hole for a good laugh.
This research aims to unravel the tantalizing relationship between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. So, folks, fasten your seatbelts – it's going to be a wild ride through the fairways and shelves, where the only bunkers we'll find are those filled with sand, not overdue books.
Now, let's address the "elephant in the room" – or should I say, the "elephant on the green"? Here we are, examining the connection between an elite athletic competition and the intellectual backbone of a state. It might sound like comparing apples to oranges, but we're not afraid to slice through the rough to bring you some data-driven putts of wisdom. This study is not just about swinging clubs or swinging study lamps – it's about understanding the swinging pendulum of numbers and the real-life impact they have on diverse domains.
So, hold onto your visors and reading glasses, because what lies ahead is a rollercoaster of statistics and laughter. We've driven, chipped, and putted our way through data sets and scatter plots to bring you a revelation that might just make you cryptically excited. After all, in the world of research, every correlation should be given its fair shot, just like every golfer teeing off on the first hole.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between seemingly disparate variables has long fascinated researchers, prompting the investigation of unconventional pairings to unearth unexpected correlations. In "The Unlikely Correlations of Statistical Analysis," Smith et al. explore the unexpected interplay between variables in diverse fields, encouraging scholars to embrace the unconventional. Indeed, our study delves into precisely such uncharted territory – the peculiar relationship between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada.
Now, as we delve into the literature, let's "putt" things into perspective with a relevant dad joke: Why don't librarians play golf? Because they always like to avoid the "rough"! And speaking of rough, let's not get "bunkered" down as we navigate through this research landscape.
Turning to more traditional sources, Doe and Jones in "Golf Scores and Unlikely Correlations" discuss the mathematical complexities of golf scoring and the potential implications for unexpected correlations. While their focus is primarily on the statistical aspects of golf, our inquiry into the relationship with the number of librarians in Nevada opens up a whole new fairway of possibilities.
But wait, let's not shelve the fiction just yet. In "The Curious Case of Golf and Galaxies" by A. Novel, a speculative exploration of the interconnectedness of diverse phenomena sheds light on the tantalizing mysteries of correlation. As we navigate the literary rough, let's not forget that even in the realm of fiction, truth may be stranger than par-fiction.
In addition to traditional literature, social media offers a treasure trove of informal insights. In a tweet by @GolfGeek101, there is a mention of how the number of birdies in a tournament seems to correlate with the number of books per capita in local libraries. Though this tweet was seemingly lighthearted, it sparked a thought-provoking conversation on the potential links between golf and libraries, highlighting the unexpected connections that can emerge from casual observations.
Now, let's drive this home with another pun: What do golf and library books have in common? They both have a lot of "fore"-words! With that, we tee up our study's unique contribution to the literature, as we strive to unveil the unexpected parallels between golf championships and the abundance of librarians in Nevada.

Teeing Up the Numbers: A Fairway to Measure the Winning Score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the Librarians of Nevada
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into a seemingly improbable pairing - the correlation between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. Despite initial skepticism, we found a striking relationship, teeing up an unexpected link between the world of golf and library science. Our research team, armed with data from Golfstats and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dug deep into this peculiar topic and unearthed a correlation coefficient of 0.7503413 with a p-value less than 0.01, spanning the years from 2003 to 2018.
While the connection may appear to be a long shot, our findings suggest that there may be more than meets the eye. We observed a noteworthy trend – as the winning score in the golf championship decreased, the number of librarians in Nevada increased, and vice versa. While the exact mechanism underlying this link remains elusive, it certainly adds a new dimension to the often fore-gone conclusion that athletic events and intellectual pursuits exist in separate sand traps.
As we drive our conclusions home, this research offers a hole-in-one opportunity for future investigations into the peculiar dynamics at play. To librarians and golf aficionados alike, we hope our findings bring joy akin to finding the perfect read or sinking a tricky putt - a satisfying blend of the unexpected and the inexplicable. And remember, when it comes to correlations, it's not just about the clubs; some well-placed books might just hold the key to a winning swing.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between seemingly disparate variables has long fascinated researchers, prompting the investigation of unconventional pairings to unearth unexpected correlations. In "The Unlikely Correlations of Statistical Analysis," Smith et al. explore the unexpected interplay between variables in diverse fields, encouraging scholars to embrace the unconventional. Indeed, our study delves into precisely such uncharted territory – the peculiar relationship between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada.
Now, as we delve into the literature, let's "putt" things into perspective with a relevant dad joke: Why don't librarians play golf? Because they always like to avoid the "rough"! And speaking of rough, let's not get "bunkered" down as we navigate through this research landscape.
Turning to more traditional sources, Doe and Jones in "Golf Scores and Unlikely Correlations" discuss the mathematical complexities of golf scoring and the potential implications for unexpected correlations. While their focus is primarily on the statistical aspects of golf, our inquiry into the relationship with the number of librarians in Nevada opens up a whole new fairway of possibilities.
But wait, let's not shelve the fiction just yet. In "The Curious Case of Golf and Galaxies" by A. Novel, a speculative exploration of the interconnectedness of diverse phenomena sheds light on the tantalizing mysteries of correlation. As we navigate the literary rough, let's not forget that even in the realm of fiction, truth may be stranger than par-fiction.
In addition to traditional literature, social media offers a treasure trove of informal insights. In a tweet by @GolfGeek101, there is a mention of how the number of birdies in a tournament seems to correlate with the number of books per capita in local libraries. Though this tweet was seemingly lighthearted, it sparked a thought-provoking conversation on the potential links between golf and libraries, highlighting the unexpected connections that can emerge from casual observations.
Now, let's drive this home with another pun: What do golf and library books have in common? They both have a lot of "fore"-words! With that, we tee up our study's unique contribution to the literature, as we strive to unveil the unexpected parallels between golf championships and the abundance of librarians in Nevada.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a strong correlation between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. Over the 16-year period from 2003 to 2018, we found a correlation coefficient of 0.7503413, indicating a robust positive relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables.
The r-squared value of 0.5630121 further underscored the strength of this correlation, explaining approximately 56% of the variability in the number of librarians in Nevada based on the winning score of the golf championship. This substantial proportion of variability elucidates the significance of this unexpected relationship.
The statistical significance of this correlation was also evident, as indicated by a p-value of less than 0.01. This confirms that the observed association is unlikely to be attributed to random chance, further reinforcing the credibility of our findings.
Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. The scatterplot clearly depicts a consistent pattern, with lower winning scores corresponding to a higher number of librarians and vice versa.
It seems that when it comes to golf and librarians, there's more than meets the eye. Just as a librarian might say, "Shhh, don't judge a book by its cover," we found that it's essential not to judge a correlation solely based on its seemingly incongruous variables. We've managed to tee up a surprising and statistically sound connection between the world of golf and the realm of librarianship. This discovery certainly adds an unexpected twist to the narrative that sports and intellectual professions exist in separate spheres.
In the words of a discerning golfer, perhaps it's time to "putt" this unusual correlation in the spotlight. The fact that the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship can be linked to the number of librarians in Nevada underscores the complexity and interconnectedness of various domains. While the exact mechanism behind this relationship remains a mystery, our research sets the stage for further exploration into these intriguing dynamics.
As we conclude, it's clear that this unexpected correlation may just be par for the course, reminding us that in the world of statistics, every unexpected finding deserves a fair shot – or in this case, a well-placed joke. After all, when it comes to data analysis, a good sense of humor might just be as essential as a reliable regression model.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Golf and librarianship - two seemingly unrelated fields. One is all about birdies and eagles, while the other is more about Dewey and cataloging. However, in the world of research, it's important to keep an open mind and not to shush any potential correlations. After all, you never know when you might find a par-adoxical connection that leaves you feeling green with envy.
We'll start with the numbers – golf, a sport of precise calculations and strategic swings, and librarians, the unsung heroes of knowledge organization and information retrieval. It might seem like comparing apples and oranges, or perhaps in this case, comparing birdies and bookworms. Yet, as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover – the numbers we've uncovered tell a different tale, one that might just make you want to stop by the 19th hole for a good laugh.
This research aims to unravel the tantalizing relationship between the winning score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship and the number of librarians in Nevada. So, folks, fasten your seatbelts – it's going to be a wild ride through the fairways and shelves, where the only bunkers we'll find are those filled with sand, not overdue books.
Now, let's address the "elephant in the room" – or should I say, the "elephant on the green"? Here we are, examining the connection between an elite athletic competition and the intellectual backbone of a state. It might sound like comparing apples to oranges, but we're not afraid to slice through the rough to bring you some data-driven putts of wisdom. This study is not just about swinging clubs or swinging study lamps – it's about understanding the swinging pendulum of numbers and the real-life impact they have on diverse domains.
So, hold onto your visors and reading glasses, because what lies ahead is a rollercoaster of statistics and laughter. We've driven, chipped, and putted our way through data sets and scatter plots to bring you a revelation that might just make you cryptically excited. After all, in the world of research, every correlation should be given its fair shot, just like every golfer teeing off on the first hole.

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 = 0.5630121 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 56.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of librarians in Nevada) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The Winning Score of The Northern Trust Open Golf Championship) over the 16 years from 2003 through 2018.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00081. 0.0008127699452830135000000000
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 0.75 in 0.081% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,230 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 15 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 15 because we have two variables measured over a period of 16 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.
[ 0.41, 0.91 ] 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.
