[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al.," the authors find that the prowess of goalkeepers in achieving cleansheets serves as a critical determinant of a team's defensive stability in the English Premier League. Similarly, in "Doe and Jones," the authors highlight the importance of agricultural sciences teachers in promoting sustainable farming practices and agricultural education in Kentucky. However, as we dig deeper into the literature on these distinct subjects, we find ourselves in a terrain that is not just fertile for data analysis, but also ripe for a cornucopia of unexpected connections and lighthearted revelations.

Moving beyond the realms of traditional academic research, books such as "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "The Soccer Diaries: An American's Thirty-Year Pursuit of the International Game" by Michael J. Agovino provide us with a multidimensional perspective on the intersection of food culture, agriculture, and the beautiful game of football. These literary excursions offer a palette of insights that transcend disciplinary boundaries, hinting at the rich tapestry of associations awaiting our exploration.

On a more whimsical note, fictional works such as "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd and "Fever Pitch" by Nick Hornby beckon us to contemplate the uncharted depths of nature and sporting fervor. While these works may seem tangential at first glance, they subtly elicit contemplation on the interconnectedness of human endeavors - be it the mystique of beekeeping or the fervent devotion to a football club.

In the realm of cinema, films such as "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Field of Dreams" provide a celluloid canvas upon which the nuances of sportsmanship, agricultural landscapes, and the human spirit are artfully woven. These cinematic vignettes serve as a reminder that even in the most unlikely pairings, there lies a kernel of unanticipated harmony and amusement.

As we journey through these diverse avenues of literature and popular culture, we are confronted with a delightful intricacy of narratives, each nudging our imagination toward the unexplored crossroads of football and farming. While the pursuit of scholarly inquiry forms the bedrock of our investigation, the troves of inspiration drawn from eclectic sources remind us that amidst statisticians and data analysts, a bit of playfulness can truly score a "goal" in unveiling the serendipitous connections that lace our academic pursuits.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

Data Collection:

The unearthing of the connection between the seemingly disparate realms of football and agriculture required a meticulous and exhaustive data collection process. Information regarding cleansheets achieved by Golden Glove winners in the English Premier League was sourced from reputable football databases, press releases, and delightful trivia nights at the local pub. The number of agricultural sciences teachers in Kentucky was extracted from the esteemed archives of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, scholarly publications, and a helpful chat with Farmer Joe down at the local market.

To ensure the robustness of our data, we cross-referenced our findings with a myriad of sources, including Wikipedia and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, because, as they say, when in doubt, trust the information superhighway!

Data Analysis:

To unravel the statistical relationship between cleansheets in football and agricultural sciences educators, we employed a medley of statistical analyses, including correlation coefficients, linear regression models, and a dash of wizardry for good measure. Our statistical package of choice was gleefully consulted to provide veracity to our findings, with a keen eye for detecting hidden patterns and correlations - much like a seasoned farmer detecting the subtle signs of forthcoming rain.

In our pursuit of uncovering this peculiar connection, we duly accounted for confounding variables such as fluctuating agricultural trends in Kentucky, player transfers in football, and the occasional invasion of football fields by wandering livestock. Our analytical journey was rivaled only by a high-stakes game of football or the watchful eyes of a hawk on the lookout for pestering crows in a sun-drenched cornfield.

Limitations:

Every bright and amusing journey has its constraints, and our research is no exception. While we diligently harvested and analyzed data spanning from 2005 to 2019, the possibility of unforeseen variables lurking in the statistical underbrush cannot be dismissed. Additionally, the tongue-in-cheek nature of the study may raise eyebrows in some academic circles, akin to a toddler wearing oversized soccer boots in an agricultural fair. Nonetheless, we trust that the robustness of our methodology and the compelling nature of our findings will mitigate any potential skepticism.

With a sprinkle of whimsy and a flourish of empiricism, our methodology fortifies the bedrock upon which our revelatory findings stand. So, don your football jersey and your farming boots, for the research adventure has only just begun!

Correlation r = 0.8228198 (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 = 0.6770325 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 67.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of agricultural sciences teachers in Kentucky) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Cleansheets Achieved by Golden Glove Winners in the English Premier League) over the 15 years from 2005 through 2019.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00017. 0.0001651526910152223700000000
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 0.82 in 0.017% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 6,055 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 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.

[ 0.54, 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.
  4. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
