[[INTRODUCTION]]

As we marvel at the extraordinary feats of competitive eating, one question looms large over our mustard-drizzled minds: Could the air we breathe in Gainesville, Florida, impact the number of hot dogs triumphantly devoured by the reigning champion of Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest? It's a query that may seem as obscure as a condiment preference at a hot dog stand, but our research sets out to unwrap this enigmatic connection, or as we like to call it - the "bun-believable link."

The quaint city of Gainesville, home to the University of Florida, is not only known for its spirited Gator football games and swampy backdrops but also for its air quality, which fluctuates like a helium balloon in a gusty wind. Meanwhile, the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, a summertime tradition synonymous with Coney Island, sees competitors devouring franks at a pace that puts a hare to shame. What could possibly unite these disparate elements, you ask? That's right, it's the air we breathe and the wieners we consume - a combination as unexpected as ketchup on a classic Chicago-style hot dog.

As we embark on this journey of investigative absurdity, we do so with a steely determination to unravel this peculiar correlation, and perhaps even unearth a few spicy surprises along the way. So, join us as we delve into the atmospheric antics and gastronomic grandeur that may just leave you pondering the next time you enjoy a humble hot dog – could the air quality in Gainesville be secretly shaping the champion of hot dog consumption?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith et al. (2015) in their study "The Correlation between Air Quality and Competitive Eating" explore the potential links between air quality and the consumption of various food items in competitive eating contests. Their findings suggest a moderate positive correlation between particulate matter levels and the ingestion of food items, most notably hot dogs. However, the study failed to specifically highlight the association between Gainesville's air quality and the astounding hot dog consumption by the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion.

Doe and Jones (2018) in "The Influence of Environmental Factors on Eating Competition Victories" delve into the impact of environmental factors, including air quality and temperature, on the performance of competitive eaters. Their comprehensive analysis surprisingly uncovered a positive relationship between air quality indicators and the number of food items consumed by champions at eating competitions. Nevertheless, their investigation stops short of scrutinizing the peculiar case of Gainesville's atmospheric nuances and the hot dog-consuming endeavors of the crowned Nathan's champion.

Turning to more lighthearted literature, "The Hot Dog Diaries" by A. Frankfurter (2017) playfully explores the cultural significance of hot dogs while incorporating ruminations on environmental influences, albeit in a fictional context. Meanwhile, "Sausage Secrets: A Riveting Tale of Wiener Wonders" by B. Bun (2019) weaves a whimsical narrative using food symbolism, subtly hinting at the potential impact of air quality on the competitive eating world.

On a somewhat related note, the internet meme "Distracted Boyfriend" has seen various adaptations, one of which humorously depicts the competition between a hot dog and a salad for the attention of a spectator. While seemingly unrelated to air quality and competitive eating, this meme underscores the unexpected connections and distractions that often emerge in seemingly unrelated contexts.

These studies and literary works, while not directly addressing the specific relationship between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the hot dog consumption at Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, highlight the intriguing interplay between environmental factors and culinary conquests.

Turning to the empirical data, let's dive into the sizzling statistics and unmask the tantalizing tie between air quality and hot dog-eating prowess.

To sink our teeth into this compelling conundrum, our research team employed a mix of analytical approaches that would leave even the most ardent hot dog enthusiast with a full plate of statistical insights. We constructed a comprehensive database of air quality indices in Gainesville, Florida, sourced from the Environmental Protection Agency, spanning the years 1980 to 2022. As for the hot dog consumption data, we turned to the hallowed halls of Wikipedia, where the storied feats of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champions from 1980 to 2022 were meticulously chronicled – from bun to bun.

With our data buffet set, we conducted a series of scintillating statistical analyses, utilizing powerful tools such as the Spearman correlation coefficient, which allowed us to scrutinize the association between air quality indices and the prodigious intake of hot dogs by the reigning Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion. We also livened up the party with a captivating time series analysis, painting a vivid picture of the oscillating air quality and the corresponding fluctuations in the consumption of franks fit for champions.

In an effort to add a pinch of sizzle to our methodological medley, we also whipped up a socio-economic analysis, examining the potential influence of hot dog prices, fast food consumption trends, and even the meteorological whims of Gainesville. The eclectic mix of methods used reflects our commitment to turning every stone and grilling every statistic in our pursuit of uncovering the appetizing enigma at the heart of our research.

Upon completing these analyses, we employed an assortment of statistical software packages, including the venerable R and Python, to ensure a robust and savory data crunching experience. These tools allowed us to slice through the data with the precision of a well-honed hot dog slicer, revealing the tantalizing connections that lie at the intersection of air quality and competitive hot dog consumption.

But remember, while our methods may seem as outlandish as a hot dog in a sushi bar, they have been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of this unconventional research question. So, as we march forward with our findings, let us not forget that, in the realm of academic inquiry, sometimes the most unconventional approaches can yield the most compelling results.

[[RESULTS]]

The findings of our analysis unveiled a striking correlation between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the number of hotdogs consumed by the champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. We witnessed a noteworthy correlation coefficient of 0.8128618, suggesting a robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated entities. In scientific terms, this relationship is nothing short of a "bunderful discovery."

Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.6607443 indicated that approximately 66% of the variation in the hotdog consumption can be explained by changes in air quality. This high r-squared value implies that the air quality in Gainesville is no mere "frank" participant in the astounding feats of hot dog consumption but rather a compelling influencer, possibly orchestrating a symphony of snacking prowess.

Our analysis also revealed a p-value of less than 0.01, indicating that the observed correlation is indeed statistically significant. This suggests that the likelihood of obtaining this correlation by chance is as rare as finding a vegetarian hot dog at a state fair – it's nearly impossible.

To further illustrate this connection, we present Fig. 1, which displays a scatterplot demonstrating the strong correlation between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the number of hotdogs consumed by the reigning champion. Fig. 1 serves as a visual testament to the profound impact of air quality on the champion's hot dog consumption, leaving us with an unmistakable reminder that the atmosphere in Gainesville could be shaping the trajectory of competitive hot dog eating.

In summary, our results provide compelling evidence of the unexpected and spicy relationship between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the triumphs of the reigning hot dog consumption champion.

Similarly, Doe and Jones (2018) stoked our appetites for understanding the impact of environmental factors on competitive eating, laying the groundwork for our own smorgasbord of discoveries in Gainesville's atmospheric palate.

Perhaps, in hindsight, the lighthearted musings in "The Hot Dog Diaries" and "Sausage Secrets" were not merely fictional diversions but subtle acknowledgments of the flavorful influence of air quality on culinary conquests. While the "Distracted Boyfriend" meme may seem as far-fetched as finding a tofu dog at a hot dog stand, it too embodies the unexpected allure and distractions that accompany the revelation of unusual connections in the most unlikely of circumstances.

Our results underscore the idea that the humid, catfish-filled air of Gainesville could be, metaphorically and perhaps literally, shaping the champion's path to hot dog glory. Through this lens, the inconspicuous sway of air quality becomes a pivotal theme in the narrative of competitive hot dog consumption, akin to the subtle undertones in a masterfully prepared gourmet sausage.

In offering compelling evidence of the profound intersection between air quality and triumphant hot dog consumption, our study beckons for further exploration into the uncharted domains of competitive eating. The unabated pursuit of uncovering the sausage link between environmental influences and culinary prowess is much akin to the relentless hunt for that perfect, elusive mustard to complement the perfect hot dog. As we embark on this gastronomical odyssey, may we be reminded that the unexpected correlations and savory surprises that emerge from seemingly unrelated realms can enrapture us, leaving our intellectual taste buds craving for more.

Air Weiners: Investigating the Link between Air Quality in Gainesville, Florida and Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Victories

[[ABSTRACT]]
This study delves into a delightfully peculiar topic - the connection between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and hotdogs consumed by the champion of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Utilizing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and Wikipedia, we analyzed air quality indices and the number of hotdogs consumed by the reigning champion from 1980 to 2022. Astonishingly, our findings revealed a notable correlation coefficient of 0.8128618 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01. While some may dismiss this correlation as mere coincidence or "wiener-cidence," our research advocates for a deeper dive into the sausage link between air quality and the competitive consumption of hot dogs. This study serves as a testament to the unforeseen and amusing connections that can be uncovered through rigorous data analysis, reminding us that sometimes, the most unexpected correlations can leave us sizzling with curiosity.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
As we marvel at the extraordinary feats of competitive eating, one question looms large over our mustard-drizzled minds: Could the air we breathe in Gainesville, Florida, impact the number of hot dogs triumphantly devoured by the reigning champion of Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest? It's a query that may seem as obscure as a condiment preference at a hot dog stand, but our research sets out to unwrap this enigmatic connection, or as we like to call it - the "bun-believable link."
The quaint city of Gainesville, home to the University of Florida, is not only known for its spirited Gator football games and swampy backdrops but also for its air quality, which fluctuates like a helium balloon in a gusty wind. Meanwhile, the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, a summertime tradition synonymous with Coney Island, sees competitors devouring franks at a pace that puts a hare to shame. What could possibly unite these disparate elements, you ask? That's right, it's the air we breathe and the wieners we consume - a combination as unexpected as ketchup on a classic Chicago-style hot dog.
As we embark on this journey of investigative absurdity, we do so with a steely determination to unravel this peculiar correlation, and perhaps even unearth a few spicy surprises along the way. So, join us as we delve into the atmospheric antics and gastronomic grandeur that may just leave you pondering the next time you enjoy a humble hot dog – could the air quality in Gainesville be secretly shaping the champion of hot dog consumption?

[[RESULTS]]
The findings of our analysis unveiled a striking correlation between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the number of hotdogs consumed by the champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. We witnessed a noteworthy correlation coefficient of 0.8128618, suggesting a robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated entities. In scientific terms, this relationship is nothing short of a "bunderful discovery."
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.6607443 indicated that approximately 66% of the variation in the hotdog consumption can be explained by changes in air quality. This high r-squared value implies that the air quality in Gainesville is no mere "frank" participant in the astounding feats of hot dog consumption but rather a compelling influencer, possibly orchestrating a symphony of snacking prowess.
Our analysis also revealed a p-value of less than 0.01, indicating that the observed correlation is indeed statistically significant. This suggests that the likelihood of obtaining this correlation by chance is as rare as finding a vegetarian hot dog at a state fair – it's nearly impossible.
To further illustrate this connection, we present Fig. 1, which displays a scatterplot demonstrating the strong correlation between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the number of hotdogs consumed by the reigning champion. Fig. 1 serves as a visual testament to the profound impact of air quality on the champion's hot dog consumption, leaving us with an unmistakable reminder that the atmosphere in Gainesville could be shaping the trajectory of competitive hot dog eating.
In summary, our results provide compelling evidence of the unexpected and spicy relationship between air quality in Gainesville, Florida, and the triumphs of the reigning hot dog consumption champion. These findings not only tantalize the taste buds of scientific curiosity but also leave us with an insatiable appetite for further exploration of the sausage link between air quality and competitive hot dog consumption.

Correlation r = 0.8128618 (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 = 0.6607443 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 66.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Hotdogs consumed by Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition Champion) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Gainesville, Florida) over the 43 years from 1980 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.6E-11. 0.0000000000357802027920543350
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 0.81 in 3.6E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 27,948,416,218 random variables You don't actually need 27 billion 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 42 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 42 because we have two variables measured over a period of 43 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.

[ 0.68, 0.89 ] 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. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.
