[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Smith et al.'s study," the authors find that there is a positive correlation between the number of Master's degrees awarded in Public Administration and various societal outcomes, including public sector efficiency, governance effectiveness, and budget management. However, their study did not delve into the unlikely connection with air quality in Yuma, Arizona. It's like writing a dissertation on the merits of recycled paper without realizing that a gentle breeze is the best way to dry it.
Jones and Doakes, in their comprehensive analysis, explore the impact of advanced degrees on local environmental factors. They uncover the influence of higher education on community engagement and environmental initiatives. Yet, their research stops short of venturing into the realm of atmospheric transformations brought about by Public Administration graduates in Yuma. It's like studying the migration patterns of birds and omitting the fact that indoor plants are using their leaves as motivational flyers.
As we turn to more theoretical works, "Environmental Governance: The Challenge of Legitimacy and Effectiveness" by Hajer delves into the intricate relationship between public management and environmental decision-making. While the book provides valuable insights into the dynamics of administrative processes and policy implementation, it doesn't quite address the air quality metamorphosis that seems to coincide with the conferral of Master's degrees. It's like trying to explain the circulation of air in a room without acknowledging the student in the corner who keeps twirling the ceiling fan.
At this junction, let's not discount the potential insights we can glean from popular culture. "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, a beloved children's book, emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact of individual actions on ecological well-being. Perhaps the residents of Yuma are channeling their inner Lorax as a wave of administrative graduates surfaces, metaphorically speaking. It's like Yuma is whispering, "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, and I also speak for the improved air quality!"
Moving from literature to visual media, the animated series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" revolves around a team of environmentally conscious superheroes, each representing a different element of nature. While the show may not explicitly reference Yuma or Public Administration, it certainly promotes the idea that collective action can lead to environmental improvements. One can't help but envision "Captain Public Administrator and the Air Quality Avatars" emerging as the saviors of Yuma's atmospheric balance. It's like a crossover episode where administrative expertise meets eco-empowered heroes in a battle for cleaner air.
As we weave through academic texts, fictional narratives, and animated depictions, it becomes evident that the intersection of public administration education and environmental impact has been both overlooked and whimsically intriguing. It's like stumbling upon a desert oasis, only to realize that it's not just a mirage - it's a correlation waiting to be explored.

While one might think these two phenomena have as much in common as a fish and a bicycle, our research team set out to uncover any underlying ties. Armed with data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Environmental Protection Agency, we embarked on a quest that can only be described as an intellectual safari through the desert of academic inquiry.
Our findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.8576766 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning 2012 to 2021. It turns out that as the number of Public Administration Master's degrees awarded swelled, so did the air quality in Yuma, much to the chagrin of pun-loving environmentalists. This unexpected connection left us pondering, "Could this be Mother Nature giving a nod to all the hardworking public administrators for helping to clear the air?"
Delving deeper into the data, we discovered that the gradual increase in Master's degrees seemed to have a positive impact on air quality, akin to opening a window in a stuffy room. As we unraveled the implications, we couldn't help but crack a dad joke - "Looks like Yuma's air quality is experiencing a Master's degree of improvement!"
In conclusion, our research unravels a surprisingly positive association between Master's degrees in Public Administration and clearer air in Yuma, Arizona. This unanticipated correlation offers a breath of fresh air for academic inquiry, leaving us with the whimsical notion that, just maybe, education and environmental well-being share a stronger bond than previously thought.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Smith et al.'s study," the authors find that there is a positive correlation between the number of Master's degrees awarded in Public Administration and various societal outcomes, including public sector efficiency, governance effectiveness, and budget management. However, their study did not delve into the unlikely connection with air quality in Yuma, Arizona. It's like writing a dissertation on the merits of recycled paper without realizing that a gentle breeze is the best way to dry it.
Jones and Doakes, in their comprehensive analysis, explore the impact of advanced degrees on local environmental factors. They uncover the influence of higher education on community engagement and environmental initiatives. Yet, their research stops short of venturing into the realm of atmospheric transformations brought about by Public Administration graduates in Yuma. It's like studying the migration patterns of birds and omitting the fact that indoor plants are using their leaves as motivational flyers.
As we turn to more theoretical works, "Environmental Governance: The Challenge of Legitimacy and Effectiveness" by Hajer delves into the intricate relationship between public management and environmental decision-making. While the book provides valuable insights into the dynamics of administrative processes and policy implementation, it doesn't quite address the air quality metamorphosis that seems to coincide with the conferral of Master's degrees. It's like trying to explain the circulation of air in a room without acknowledging the student in the corner who keeps twirling the ceiling fan.
At this junction, let's not discount the potential insights we can glean from popular culture. "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, a beloved children's book, emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact of individual actions on ecological well-being. Perhaps the residents of Yuma are channeling their inner Lorax as a wave of administrative graduates surfaces, metaphorically speaking. It's like Yuma is whispering, "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, and I also speak for the improved air quality!"
Moving from literature to visual media, the animated series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" revolves around a team of environmentally conscious superheroes, each representing a different element of nature. While the show may not explicitly reference Yuma or Public Administration, it certainly promotes the idea that collective action can lead to environmental improvements. One can't help but envision "Captain Public Administrator and the Air Quality Avatars" emerging as the saviors of Yuma's atmospheric balance. It's like a crossover episode where administrative expertise meets eco-empowered heroes in a battle for cleaner air.
As we weave through academic texts, fictional narratives, and animated depictions, it becomes evident that the intersection of public administration education and environmental impact has been both overlooked and whimsically intriguing. It's like stumbling upon a desert oasis, only to realize that it's not just a mirage - it's a correlation waiting to be explored.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data collected from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Environmental Protection Agency revealed a strong positive correlation between the number of Master's degrees awarded in Public Administration and the air quality in Yuma, Arizona from 2012 to 2021. The correlation coefficient of 0.8576766 indicated a robust relationship between these seemingly disparate variables, leaving us scratching our heads in amusement, much like trying to figure out why the computer went to therapy - it had too many bytes of emotional baggage.
The scatterplot in Fig. 1 further illustrates this connection, showing a clear trend of improved air quality as the number of Master's degrees awarded increased. It's like watching the air quality levels step up their game as if they were competing for a Master's degree in freshness!
Further bolstering our analysis, the r-squared value of 0.7356092 reaffirmed that a significant portion of the variability in air quality could be explained by the number of Public Administration Master's degrees awarded. It's as if the educational endeavors were not just lifting minds but also lifting pollutants from the atmosphere, leaving behind a cleaner and fresher environment for all. It's like witnessing knowledge morph into cleaner air - talk about a breath of fresh education!
The p-value of less than 0.01 provided strong evidence against the null hypothesis, suggesting that this correlation was not merely a fluke. Instead, it pointed to a genuine association between the educational pursuits of public administrators and the improvement of air quality in Yuma. It's as if the universe conspired to reveal this positive tie, much like finding a treasure map inside a textbook - who knew education could lead to hidden environmental gems!
In conclusion, our results unveil an unexpected and positively delightful relationship between the influx of Master's degrees in Public Administration and the enhancement of air quality in Yuma, Arizona. As we wrap up this section, we couldn't resist one final dad joke - "Who knew that earning a Master's degree could also earn Yuma a breath of fresh air? Looks like good ol' knowledge is not just power; it's also a purifier of sorts!"

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 = 0.7356092 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 73.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air quality in Yuma, Arizona) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Master's degrees awarded in Public administration) over the 10 years from 2012 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00151. 0.0015063103312747605000000000
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 0.86 in 0.151% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 664 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 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.
[ 0.5, 0.97 ] 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
- 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.
