Libertarian Leanings and Losing Lamentations: Linking Alabama's Senatorial Supporters to Super Bowl Setbacks
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this scholarly investigation, we delve into the unexpected, unexplored junction of political preferences and pigskin misfortunes, aiming to elucidate the unforeseen corollary between Libertarian votes for Senators in Alabama and the disheartening point differentials achieved by the unsuccessful contenders in the pinnacle of American football, the Super Bowl. With a pinch of statistical scrutiny and a dash of good-natured jocularity, our research sets out to examine the curious relationship between these seemingly unrelated phenomena.
Leveraging data from prestigious repositories such as the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, the Harvard Dataverse, and even the deeply serious bastion of information, Wikipedia, our diligent team of researchers peered through the facades of electoral dynamics and sporting ups and downs, in a quest to bring forth verifiable insights. The intrepid endeavor led us to uncover a correlation coefficient of 0.8379658, a statistic that, incidentally, packs a punch so strong, it could almost substitute for a heavyweight boxing champion in an election rally. Furthermore, with a p-value of < 0.05, our findings bolster the case that there may indeed be a tangible connection between the proclivities of politically aligned Alabamians and the gridiron tribulations suffered by the silver medalists of the NFL.
Through our empirical investigation, we unearthed a fascinating pattern: as the sway towards Libertarian-leaning candidates in Alabama grew, commensurate augmentation was detected in the points amassed by the Super Bowl's losing faction. This discovery, much like a riveting plot twist in a thriller novel, challenges preconceived notions and nudges us to ruminate upon the cryptic interplay of party politics and pursuit of the pigskin. However, before we gallop to wild conclusions, let us remember the sage advice of dads everywhere: correlation does not imply causation, so it's always wise to take these peculiar findings with a grain of statistical salt.

Libertarian Leanings and Losing Lamentations: Linking Alabama's Senatorial Supporters to Super Bowl Setbacks
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this scholarly investigation, we delve into the unexpected, unexplored junction of political preferences and pigskin misfortunes, aiming to elucidate the unforeseen corollary between Libertarian votes for Senators in Alabama and the disheartening point differentials achieved by the unsuccessful contenders in the pinnacle of American football, the Super Bowl. With a pinch of statistical scrutiny and a dash of good-natured jocularity, our research sets out to examine the curious relationship between these seemingly unrelated phenomena.
Leveraging data from prestigious repositories such as the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, the Harvard Dataverse, and even the deeply serious bastion of information, Wikipedia, our diligent team of researchers peered through the facades of electoral dynamics and sporting ups and downs, in a quest to bring forth verifiable insights. The intrepid endeavor led us to uncover a correlation coefficient of 0.8379658, a statistic that, incidentally, packs a punch so strong, it could almost substitute for a heavyweight boxing champion in an election rally. Furthermore, with a p-value of < 0.05, our findings bolster the case that there may indeed be a tangible connection between the proclivities of politically aligned Alabamians and the gridiron tribulations suffered by the silver medalists of the NFL.
Through our empirical investigation, we unearthed a fascinating pattern: as the sway towards Libertarian-leaning candidates in Alabama grew, commensurate augmentation was detected in the points amassed by the Super Bowl's losing faction. This discovery, much like a riveting plot twist in a thriller novel, challenges preconceived notions and nudges us to ruminate upon the cryptic interplay of party politics and pursuit of the pigskin. However, before we gallop to wild conclusions, let us remember the sage advice of dads everywhere: correlation does not imply causation, so it's always wise to take these peculiar findings with a grain of statistical salt.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

See what else correlates with Points Scored by the losing team in the Super Bowl
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 = 0.7021867 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 70.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Points Scored by the losing team in the Super Bowl) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Votes for Libertarian Senators in Alabama) over the 6 years from 1978 through 2002.
p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.037. 0.0372555070140149900000000000
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 0.84 in 3.7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 27 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 5 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 5 because we have two variables measured over a period of 6 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.
[ 0.08, 0.98 ] 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.

| Points Scored by the losing team in the Super Bowl (Points scored) | 10 | 19 | 9 | 24 | 17 | 17 |
Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.
- 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. - 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. - Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
Try it yourself
You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."

I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.
For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."
When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.

The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
