When it comes to peculiar pairs, nothing quite compares to the fusion of annual US household spending on health insurance and Pioneer Natural Resources Company's stock price (PXD). At first glance, one might wonder what on earth these two entities have in common other than their letters - "H" and "P". Yet, as our research has uncovered, there may be more to this odd couple than meets the eye.

Unraveling the mystery behind the correlation between health insurance expenditures and Pioneer Natural Resources' stock price has lured us into uncharted statistical territory. As we ventured into the realm of financial and healthcare data, we couldn't help but recognize the irony in examining how expenditures designed to preserve human health might somehow intertwine with the fortunes of an oil and gas exploration company. After all, who could have ever predicted that the stock market and medical expenses would form such a peculiar bond, much like an unexpected friendship between a porcupine and a penguin?

Nonetheless, armed with statistical tools and a fervent curiosity, our research team embarked on a mission to dissect this peculiar connection - and the results, as we'll soon reveal, are as unexpected as finding a clown fish and a sea anemone living in symbiotic bliss.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al." the authors find that health insurance is a substantial part of annual US household expenditure, often competing with essentials such as rent, groceries, and the ever-elusive streaming services. This straightforward observation lays the groundwork for our exploration into the confounding correlation between health insurance spending and the stock price of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (PXD). However, venturing beyond the hallowed halls of academia, our research team discovered a plethora of unconventional sources that shed light on this eccentric connection.

In "Doe's Monograph," the authors examine the intricate dance between financial markets and seemingly disparate factors, subtly suggesting that even the most unlikely pairs can waltz to the beat of supply and demand. Yet, perhaps the most unexpected twirl in this lively tango comes from "Jones's Analysis," where the authors unearth the correlation between consumer spending patterns and stock market movements, leaving one to wonder if the market truly marches to the rhythm of everyday expenses.

Turning to unconventional sources, "The Economics of Laughter" regales us with the idea that humor can have a profound impact on consumer behavior, and by extension, stock prices. Could Pioneer Natural Resources' stock price be influenced by America's collective laughter at health insurance woes, we pondered mirthfully. Meanwhile, "Oil, Stocks, and Rocky Roads," a fictitious novel that blends the romance of Wall Street with the thrill of crude oil exploration, sparks a whimsical analogous inquiry into the potential synergy of health expenditures and stock market fluctuations.

In our clandestine foray into the labyrinth of social media, a post humorously likened the volatility of health insurance premiums to the rollercoaster ride of Pioneer Natural Resources' stock price, igniting a spark of inspiration that further fuels our investigation. The Internet is indeed a curious repository of sagacious musings and jests, blending seriousness with levity in a manner only rivaled by the mystifying correlation we seek to unravel.

As we wade through this literature sprinkled with wit and whimsy, we are reminded that even in the staid world of statistics and finance, a touch of merriment can illuminate the most enigmatic relationships. Our journey to demystify the connection between health insurance expenditure and Pioneer Natural Resources' stock price beckons us to embrace the unexpected and see the humorous side of this confounding correlation.

Correlation r = 0.9015737 (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 = 0.8128351 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 81.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Pioneer Natural Resources Company's stock price (PXD)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Annual US household spending on health insurance) over the 21 years from 2002 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.4E-8. 0.0000000241731296236883440000
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 0.9 in 2.4E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 41,368,247 random variables You don't actually need 41 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 20 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 20 because we have two variables measured over a period of 21 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.

[ 0.77, 0.96 ] 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.
