[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Numerous studies have delved into the realm of sports and its unexpected correlations with disparate economic indicators, yet the specific relationship between the score differentials in the NCAA Women's Softball Championship (Div I) and the number of fiberglass laminators and fabricators in the state of Minnesota has been a subject ensconced in relative obscurity.

In "Smith et al. (2015)," the authors find empirical evidence pertaining to the link between athletic outcomes and labor statistics, albeit within a different sporting context. However, it is within the context of collegiate women's softball championship games that the present study seeks to unearth potential connections. Furthermore, "Doe and Jones (2017)" present findings on the influence of sporting events on localized economic activities, but regrettably, they do not address the specific conundrum at hand.

Turning to relevant literature beyond the conventional scope of sports and economics, noteworthy works such as "The Economics of Sports" and "Sports and Society" offer comprehensive analyses of the economic implications of athletic pursuits, affirming the intricate web of relationships that surrounds the sports industry. On a more tangential but potentially relevant note, "The Physics of Softball" and "Fantastic Fiberglass: Marvels of Materials" elucidate the intricacies of softball dynamics and fiberglass composition, respectively, although the scholarly intersections between these texts and the present inquiry are, at best, tangential.

Venturing into the realm of fictional narratives, "The Softball Mysteries" series and "Fiberglass Chronicles" may seem unrelated to our pragmatic inquiry, but hidden within their fictional plotlines lurk cryptic clues that invite the reader to ponder the enigmatic link between softball championships and fiberglass production.

While the pursuit of academic avenues is paramount, it is worth noting that childhood exposure to such cartoon series as "The Magic School Bus" and "Dora the Explorer" may have surreptitiously planted seeds of curiosity regarding the unexpected interplay between athletic achievements and industrial endeavors—seeds that have now blossomed into the present academic exploration.

Correlation r = 0.7466628 (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 = 0.5575053 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 55.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of fiberglass laminators and fabricators in Minnesota) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., NCAA Women's Softball Championship (Div I) Final Score Difference Between Winners and Runner-Up) over the 18 years from 2005 through 2022.

The p-value is 0.00037. 0.0003712633840505146300000000
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 0.037% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,694 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.

[ 0.43, 0.9 ] 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.

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.
