[[INTRODUCTION]]

The world of data analysis and statistical research is often a serious and methodical one, with scholars meticulously poring over numbers and trends to uncover meaningful correlations. Occasionally, however, amidst the sea of predictable relationships and expected outcomes, a connection emerges that can only be described as delightfully absurd. In this study, we set out to explore such an unexpected link - the curious association between individuals seeking information on "how to treat a snake bite" and the performance of the Cleveland Browns in professional American football.

In the realm of academic inquiry, one often encounters the bizarre and the inexplicable. Whether it's the correlation between ice cream sales and shark attacks or the association between per capita cheese consumption and the number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets, researchers have always been drawn to the quirky and the offbeat. Our investigation into the correlation between snake bite-related Google searches and the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns is a testament to the enduring allure of such eccentric connections.

Through the lens of statistical analysis, we scrutinized Google Trends data on searches related to snake bites and extracted detailed information on the performance of the Cleveland Browns from Pro-Football-Reference.com. Our quest was not merely to confirm the existence of a statistical relationship, but to unravel the mystery behind this unlikely pairing and, if possible, to inject a dash of levity into the often somber world of research.

As we delve into the data and unveil the numerical wizardry that underpins our findings, it is important to remember that science, like football, is rife with uncertainty and unexpected twists. Just as a sudden fumble can alter the course of a game, so too can a bonkers correlation upend our expectations about the nature of causality. With this in mind, let us embark on a journey of discovery, one that promises to serve up a heady mix of statistical analysis, tongue-in-cheek observations, and a healthy dose of good-natured absurdity.

The author's thorough examination of snakebite pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions serves as a foundational framework for understanding the gravity and urgency associated with snake bite incidents.

While these scholarly works serve as pillars of knowledge in their respective domains, an exploration of unconventional sources yields intriguing parallels that offer unexpected connections to our investigation. For instance, "Snake Removal as Sport: Navigating Reptilian Encounters in Everyday Life" by Rattle and Roll offers a tongue-in-cheek examination of human interactions with serpents, weaving together insights on snake behavior and the peculiar predilections of individuals confronted with such slithery predicaments.

In a similar vein, the fictional realm provides an unexpected trove of literature that seemingly encapsulates elements of our inquiry. "The Reptilian Riddle: A Cleveland Browns Mystery" by Gridiron Green intertwines the world of professional football with enigmatic narratives involving reptilian mysteries, creating a whimsical blend of sports drama and serpentine intrigue that mirrors the uncanny connection we seek to unveil.

Turning to the world of animated entertainment, the timeless charm of "Serpent Strikers: The Animated Adventures" offers a lighthearted portrayal of snake-themed escapades, enticingly blending the whimsical antics of animated characters with the captivating allure of reptilian encounters. Through these unexpected channels of amusement and storytelling, we gain diverse vantage points that prompt us to consider the interplay between human fascination with snakes and the unpredictable tapestry of athletic achievements.

As we embark on this unconventional expedition of scholarly inquiry, it becomes evident that the pursuit of knowledge often yields unlikely companions in the form of puns, whimsy, and the unanticipated. With these diverse perspectives in mind, we are primed to navigate the intricate web of correlations that bridge the realm of snake bite remedies with the colorful exploits of the Cleveland Browns, all while maintaining a steadfast commitment to intellectual rigor and scholarly mirth.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unravel the enigmatic relationship between the quest for snakebite remedies and the gridiron triumphs (or tribulations) of the Cleveland Browns, our research team embarked on a data-gathering odyssey that would make Odysseus himself do a double-take. We shall regale you with the nitty-gritty details of our scientific escapade, all the while keeping our tongues planted firmly in our cheeks.

First and foremost, we harnessed the vast power of the interwebs, casting a wide net across the digital expanse to capture the pulsating pulse of human inquiries. Our primary tool in this endeavor was none other than the towering monolith of search engines – Google. Through the mystical arts of Google Trends, we wove a web of search frequency data related to the ominous specter of snake bites. We chuckled as we glimpsed the ebb and flow of queries from frightened city slickers, brave wilderness explorers, and perhaps even a few unfortunate souls who mistook their garden hoses for serpents.

As any seasoned researcher can attest, however, data from a single source is about as reliable as predicting the next Super Bowl winner based on a coin toss. So, we cast our gaze further, setting our sights on Pro-Football-Reference.com, the hallowed repository of all things pigskin-related. Here, we pored over the victories and defeats, the touchdowns and fumbles, the jubilation and heartbreak that define the storied history of the Cleveland Browns. We marveled at the statistical ballet on the gridiron, occasionally pausing to ponder whether the players were secretly studying snake charming techniques during halftime.

Now, blending these disparate streams of data into a cohesive whole was no small feat, akin to coaxing a troupe of tap-dancing armadillos into a synchronized routine. However, with the spirited guidance of statistical software and the occasional sacrificial offering of caffeinated beverages, we forged ahead. Our eager fingers danced across the keyboard, executing a whirlwind of calculations, regressions, and cross-referencing that would make even the most seasoned number-cruncher break a joyful sweat.

Ah, but the journey had only just begun. With the analytical framework in place, we forged headlong into the realm of correlation analysis. Oh, the thrill of watching those numbers frolic and cavort, revealing their innermost secrets like gleeful children at play. Our hearts raced as we beheld the emergence of a correlation coefficient so robust, it would make King Kong look like a mere playground monkey. Our p-values, dear reader, grew so diminutive that they looked positively svelte compared to the bloated statistics of yore.

In this bubbling cauldron of statistical wizardry, we were not content to merely Present the findings and retreat. No, dear reader; we trawled through the underbrush of statistical significance, ferreting out potential confounding variables with the tenacity of a bloodhound on a scent. We tossed aside spurious associations like yesterday's leftovers, leaving only the meaty morsels of genuine correlation to sate our academic appetites.

In conclusion, our research methodology stands as a testament to the jovial spirit of inquiry and the unyielding pursuit of whimsical connections in the edifice of knowledge. With a wink and a nod, we send our findings forth, eager to unravel the splendid absurdity that lies at the nexus of snakebite remedies and football fervor.

Correlation r = 0.5869519 (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 = 0.3445125 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 34.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Season wins for the Cleveland Browns) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Google searches for 'how to treat a snake bite') over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0065. 0.0065151587010622980000000000
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 0.59 in 0.65% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 153 random variables Which I absolutely did.
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.

[ 0.2, 0.82 ] 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.
