The Flurry of Fletcher’s Footwork: Winter's Chill and Renewable Energy Thrill

[[ABSTRACT]]
The connection between the total seasons Darren Fletcher played for Manchester United and renewable energy production in Antarctica has long been a topic of fascination. In this study, we explore this intriguing relationship with a cheeky twist, tapping into the frosty dynamics of football and energy generation.

With data painstakingly sourced from Wikipedia and the Energy Information Administration, we set out to discern whether there was a tangible link between the number of seasons Darren Fletcher graced the fields at Manchester United and the power of renewable energy in the icy expanses of Antarctica. Our analysis revealed a surprising correlation coefficient of 0.7129599 and p < 0.01 for the years 2005 to 2016. It seems the jinks and jives of Fletcher's football career may have mirrored the ebb and flow of sustainable energy prospects in the chilly southern tundra.

As we delved into these curious findings, we couldn't help but ponder: "Why did the footballer bring string to the game?" Because he wanted to tie the score, of course! In a similar vein, our research endeavors to "tie the score" between the seemingly disparate realms of athletic prowess and environmental impact, offering a new perspective on the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated phenomena.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The entwined topics of professional football and renewable energy may seem as mismatched as wearing cleats on an ice rink, but as our research will demonstrate, there is indeed a correlation worth pondering. The quirky question of whether there is a connection between the total seasons Darren Fletcher played for Manchester United and renewable energy production in Antarctica has spurred both curiosity and skepticism within academic circles and beyond.
The study of such an unusual relationship raises eyebrows and prompts the classic dad joke: "Why don't soccer players get hot during a game?" Because they have too many fans! Just as this joke may elicit a groan, our research seeks to uncover a connection that may at first seem far-fetched, yet ultimately surprises and delights.
In this paper, we will delve into the statistical analysis conducted to explore the relationship between Fletcher's presence on the pitch and the sustainable energy potential amidst the icy terrain of Antarctica. Our findings may not just warm the hearts of football enthusiasts and environmentalists, but also shed light on the unanticipated parallels between the sporting world and the endeavours of renewable energy.
But first, why did the bicycle refuse to stand up by itself? It was two-tired! And much like the wheels of a bicycle, our study aims to spin a story of correlation and energy that will keep readers intrigued right from the outset.

Correlation r = 0.7129599 (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 = 0.5083118 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 50.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Renewable energy production in Antarctica) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Total seasons Darren Fletcher played for Manchester United) over the 12 years from 2005 through 2016.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0092. 0.0092487019515245740000000000
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 0.71 in 0.92% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 108 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 11 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 11 because we have two variables measured over a period of 12 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.

[ 0.24, 0.91 ] 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.
