On a more imaginative note, fictional works such as "The Artist's Equation" by Emily Greene and "The Quantum Canvas" by Michael Harper playfully blur the boundaries between scientific exploration and creative inspiration, weaving compelling narratives of scientists-turned-painters and artists-turned-physicists, challenging the conventional delineation of intellectual pursuits.
Furthermore, the animated series "The Magic School Bus" and the children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" provide captivating illustrations of the enchanting fusion of scientific inquiry and artistic expression, igniting the imaginations of young viewers and reinforcing the idea that the worlds of science and art are not as divergent as they may initially appear.
As we navigate through this colorful tapestry of literature, it becomes abundantly clear that the intersection of academic excellence in the physical sciences and the realm of professional painters is far from a mere academic curiosity. Rather, it presents a vibrant canvas of interconnectedness, where the brushstrokes of knowledge blend seamlessly with the palette of creativity, creating a tableau of unexpected harmony that stands as a testament to the boundless interplay between intellect and imagination.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of our data revealed a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9793603 between the number of Master's degrees awarded in the physical sciences and the population of professional painters in the state of Kentucky, from 2012 to 2021. This finding suggests a striking relationship between the pursuit of advanced education in the physical sciences and the cheerful proliferation of professional painters across the Bluegrass State.
Furthermore, the calculated r-squared value of 0.9591466 indicates that approximately 95.91% of the variation in the number of professional painters can be explained by the variation in the number of Master's degrees awarded in the physical sciences. In other words, the academic fervor in the physical sciences seems to be closely intertwined with the flourishing community of painters, as if each brushstroke of scientific discovery is mirrored by a brushstroke of artistic expression.
The p-value of less than 0.01 provides convincing evidence to reject the null hypothesis of no correlation and lends statistical support to our findings. In simpler terms, the likelihood of such a strong correlation occurring by chance is akin to stumbling upon a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow – highly improbable, but undeniably delightful.

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 = 0.9591466 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 95.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of professional painters in Kentucky) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Master's degrees awarded in Physical sciences) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.7E-7. 0.0000007744545489372797000000
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 0.98 in 7.7E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,291,231 random variables You don't actually need 1 million 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 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.
[ 0.91, 1 ] 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.
2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | |

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.
