[[INTRODUCTION]]

GMO corn has been the subject of much debate and speculation in recent years, with concerns ranging from its impact on the environment to its potential health effects. Meanwhile, online gaming has become an integral part of modern leisure activities, with "Call of Duty" standing out as a perennial favorite in the gaming community. We set out on a mission to peel back the layers of this cornundrum and uncover the cob-nection between GMO corn and gamers' virtual battlegrounds.

As researchers, we are accustomed to sowing the seeds of knowledge and reaping the data harvest, but we never anticipated stumbling upon such a corn-y correlation. It's not every day that one finds themselves knee-deep in data about crops and game controllers. You might say it was an ear-resistible opportunity for a-maize-ing discoveries.

The chronicles of GMO corn extend far beyond biological research and the agricultural industry. They now entwine themselves with the digital realm of video games, creating a peculiar crossbreed of research interests. The convergence of these two seemingly unrelated fields marks the genesis of our pursuit to reveal the kernel of truth lurking beneath the surface.

The journey to uncover this kernel of correlation has been nothing short of corn-velous. It has involved traversing through Google searches, USDA reports, and statistical analyses to discern patterns amidst the stalks of data. Our pursuit has been anything but corn-vetional, but we are poppin' with excitement to share our findings and unshuck the mystery surrounding GMO corn and virtual warfare.

Stay tuned for the kernel-ations and cob-nclusions of this unconventional research rendezvous. After all, who would have thought that GMO corn and "Call of Duty" would ever share the same ear of interest? It’s almost a-maize-ing how research can lead us down unexpected paths, isn't it?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "The Influence of Agricultural Practices on Online Search Behavior," Smith et al. delved into the impact of farming techniques on internet search patterns, noting correlations between the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and online gaming queries. The study shed light on the surprising relationship between agricultural practices and virtual pastimes, leading the way for further inquiry into this uncharted territory. As the researchers peel back the layers of data, they discover a-maize-ing corn-nections that leave them ear-resistibly surprised.

Doe's "Corn and Culture: From Farm Fields to Gaming Fields" revealed fascinating insights into the cultural and societal aspects of corn production and its unsuspected links to gaming preferences. The study highlighted the importance of considering the agricultural landscape as a potential influencer on digital leisure activities. The authors found themselves stalked by the unexpected correlations, leading them to pop up with corny jokes at every turn.

Jones' "The Economics of Corn and Clans" explored the economic ramifications of corn production and its unexpected ties to online gaming communities. The study unearthed statistical evidence of a correlational cob-nundrum that left the researchers shell-shocked at the unlikely intersection of these seemingly disparate domains. It's safe to say that the researchers couldn't contain their a-maize-ment at the findings.

Moving beyond scholarly articles and into the realm of popular non-fiction literature, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan provided a comprehensive exploration of modern agricultural practices, including the pervasive influence of GMOs on the food industry. "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser also offered valuable insights into the intertwined nature of agricultural production and consumer behavior, albeit in a less corn-plicated context.

Shifting to the realm of fiction, "The Corn Identity" by Robert Ludlum veered into the world of espionage and action, entwining the enigma of genetically modified corn with high-stakes intrigue. In a similar vein, "Corn of the Dead" by George Romero explored a dystopian narrative where GMO corn takes center stage as both sustenance and source of peril in a post-apocalyptic setting.

In a nod to alternative sources of insight, the researchers also perused an array of CVS receipts, exploring the ink-stained pathways of everyday purchases in search of any kernel of wisdom that might shed light on the unexpected co-maize-ifications of GMO corn and virtual warfare. While the findings were as scattered as corn kernels at a summer picnic, the experience was certainly a-maize-ing in its own right.

As the literature review comes to a close, it's clear that the intersection of GMO corn and gaming searches has led to some ear-responsible puns and unexpected connections. This unlikely corn-nection continues to puzzle and delight researchers, proving that sometimes, the most corn-y of inquiries can lead to kernel insights.

After all, when it comes to the relationship between corn and gaming, one can't help but ask, "What do you call a group of genetically modified corn playing 'Call of Duty' together? A kernel of duty!"

ChatGPT:

Ah, my fellow scholars, let's get right down to the kernel of the matter – the methodology behind our a-maize-ing journey into the cob-nection between GMO corn in Ohio and Google searches for 'Call of Duty'. Our research team wasn't just shooting in the dark with this one; we carefully crafted our methods to husk out the truth from the stalks of data available to us.

First things first, we gathered our data from the bountiful fields of the internet, harvesting information from the USDA and Google Trends. It was like a virtual cornucopia of data, ripe for the picking. And let me tell you, sorting through all that data was a-maize-ing.

To establish the scope of our study, we looked at data from 2004 to 2023 – a corn-siderable timeframe, if I do say so myself. We wanted to ensure that we caught the evolution of GMO corn usage and the ebb and flow of 'Call of Duty' interest over the years. It's amazing how much things can change in the span of almost two decades, don't you think? It's like a corn-mological clock ticking away.

Now, to truly husk out the juicy correlations, we employed sophisticated statistical analyses. We utilized regression models to cob-ble together the relationship between the usage of GMO corn and the frequency of 'Call of Duty' searches. The data was like maize to the mill, and we crunched those numbers with the precision of a combine harvester.

We ended up with a corn-fed correlation coefficient of 0.8528520 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01. It's like we struck gold in the cornfields! Who knew that GMO corn and gaming searches would be so ripe for correlation?

Our methods may have been as convoluted as a corn maze, but we've emerged triumphant with findings that could pop the kernels of convention. Stay tuned for the cob-nclusions, my colleagues, for the best is yet to come!

The study unearthed statistical evidence of a correlational cob-nundrum that left the researchers shell-shocked at the unlikely intersection of these seemingly disparate domains. It's safe to say that the researchers couldn't contain their a-maize-ment at the findings.
Moving beyond scholarly articles and into the realm of popular non-fiction literature, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan provided a comprehensive exploration of modern agricultural practices, including the pervasive influence of GMOs on the food industry. "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser also offered valuable insights into the intertwined nature of agricultural production and consumer behavior, albeit in a less corn-plicated context.
Shifting to the realm of fiction, "The Corn Identity" by Robert Ludlum veered into the world of espionage and action, entwining the enigma of genetically modified corn with high-stakes intrigue. In a similar vein, "Corn of the Dead" by George Romero explored a dystopian narrative where GMO corn takes center stage as both sustenance and source of peril in a post-apocalyptic setting.
In a nod to alternative sources of insight, the researchers also perused an array of CVS receipts, exploring the ink-stained pathways of everyday purchases in search of any kernel of wisdom that might shed light on the unexpected co-maize-ifications of GMO corn and virtual warfare. While the findings were as scattered as corn kernels at a summer picnic, the experience was certainly a-maize-ing in its own right.
As the literature review comes to a close, it's clear that the intersection of GMO corn and gaming searches has led to some ear-responsible puns and unexpected connections. This unlikely corn-nection continues to puzzle and delight researchers, proving that sometimes, the most corn-y of inquiries can lead to kernel insights.
After all, when it comes to the relationship between corn and gaming, one can't help but ask, "What do you call a group of genetically modified corn playing 'Call of Duty' together? A kernel of duty!"

"Stalk and Shoot: The Kernel of Connection Between GMO Corn and Gaming Searches"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this paper, we kernel in on the relationship between the usage of genetically modified organism (GMO) corn in Ohio and the frequency of Google searches for the popular video game "Call of Duty". Our research sprouted from the curiosity of whether there is any corn-nection between agricultural practices and gaming preferences. Utilizing data from the USDA and Google Trends, we uncovered a corn-fed correlation coefficient of 0.8528520 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning from 2004 to 2023.

It seems that corn grown with GMO technology may have a kernel influence on the gaming habits of individuals, with a cob-nected increase in searches for "Call of Duty" corresponding to an expansion in the use of GMO corn. Our findings provide a-maize-ing insight into the unexpected intersections between agriculture and online gaming preferences. As the saying goes, "You can't shuck the tassel without getting a little corny!"

[[INTRDUCTION]]
GMO corn has been the subject of much debate and speculation in recent years, with concerns ranging from its impact on the environment to its potential health effects. Meanwhile, online gaming has become an integral part of modern leisure activities, with "Call of Duty" standing out as a perennial favorite in the gaming community. We set out on a mission to peel back the layers of this cornundrum and uncover the cob-nection between GMO corn and gamers' virtual battlegrounds.
As researchers, we are accustomed to sowing the seeds of knowledge and reaping the data harvest, but we never anticipated stumbling upon such a corn-y correlation. It's not every day that one finds themselves knee-deep in data about crops and game controllers. You might say it was an ear-resistible opportunity for a-maize-ing discoveries.
The chronicles of GMO corn extend far beyond biological research and the agricultural industry. They now entwine themselves with the digital realm of video games, creating a peculiar crossbreed of research interests. The convergence of these two seemingly unrelated fields marks the genesis of our pursuit to reveal the kernel of truth lurking beneath the surface.
The journey to uncover this kernel of correlation has been nothing short of corn-velous. It has involved traversing through Google searches, USDA reports, and statistical analyses to discern patterns amidst the stalks of data. Our pursuit has been anything but corn-vetional, but we are poppin' with excitement to share our findings and unshuck the mystery surrounding GMO corn and virtual warfare.
Stay tuned for the kernel-ations and cob-nclusions of this unconventional research rendezvous. After all, who would have thought that GMO corn and "Call of Duty" would ever share the same ear of interest? It’s almost a-maize-ing how research can lead us down unexpected paths, isn't it?

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our research has not only husked the mysteries surrounding the influence of GMO corn on online gaming but has also brushed cob with new avenues of statistical research. Our results highlight a compelling correlation between the cultivation of GMO corn in Ohio and the surge in "Call of Duty" searches, suggesting that perhaps gamers are not just driven by virtual strategies but also by the corn-venience of agricultural practices. It seems that in the game of corn and war, the stakes are high, and the crops are even higher!

With our findings, we do not want to corn-fuse our readers, but rather plant the idea that there may be unforeseen connections between seemingly unrelated variables. As researchers delving into uncharted territory, it's both ear-responsible and husk-worthy to acknowledge how our understanding of statistical relationships can grow from unorthodox pairings. You could say we've truly reaped what we sow!

The question of whether more research in this area is warranted remains a-maize-ingly clear: it's time to pop the cork on further investigations. We believe this study sheds light on the necessity for continued exploration into unconventional correlations, but we are also confident that our results provide the cob-clusive evidence that no more research is needed on the corn-nection between GMO corn and "Call of Duty" searches. After all, we've already cultivated a-maize-ing knowledge in this field!

Correlation r = 0.8528520 (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 = 0.7273566 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 72.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'call of duty') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in corn grown in Ohio) over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.8E-6. 0.0000017780073382236219000000
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 0.85 in 0.00018% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 562,427 random variables You don't actually need 562 thousand 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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.

[ 0.66, 0.94 ] 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.
