[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In the pursuit of untangling the delectable relationship between Domino's Pizza Group's Earnings per Share (EPS) and the number of production, planning, and expediting clerks in the delightful state of Idaho, several studies have provided invaluable insights into the realms of pizza economics and clerical dynamics.

Smith et al. (2015) analyzed the economic impact of fast-food chains on regional employment, shedding light on the potential link between pizza earnings and clerical activities. Similarly, Doe (2018) explored the role of production clerks in enhancing operational efficiency within the food service industry, setting the stage for our investigation into the interconnected world of pizza and productivity. Additionally, Jones (2020) delved into the nuances of potato-based economies, offering pertinent considerations for our examination of Idaho's clerical workforce in relation to Domino's Pizza Group's financial performance.

However, as we dive further into the literature, we draw inspiration from a variety of non-fiction works. "Economic Pies: A Panoramic View of Food Industry Metrics" by Economist Smith and "The Potato Paradox: An Exploration of Agricultural Influences on Regional Economies" by Agricultural Economist Doe provide foundational knowledge for our investigation. Moreover, "The Cheese Factor: Unraveling the Mysteries of Pizza Profitability" by Food Economist Jones serves as a flavorful guide to understanding the tangy intricacies of pizza economics.

On a slightly pepperoni-infused tangent, the fiction realm also offers curious narratives that resonate with our quest. "The Dough Chronicles" by Pizza Enthusiast Smith and "The Clerk's Conundrum: A Potato Paradise Mystery" by Mystery Novelist Doe introduce whimsical perspectives that serendipitously align with our research direction.

And, lest we forget the digital delicacies of internet culture, the viral meme "Inexplicable Correlations: From Cats to Clerical Work" humorously parallels our investigation, highlighting the unexpected connections that transcend logic.

As we savor the diverse flavors of existing literature, we embark on this research journey with a zest for discovery, seeking to unravel the cheesy mysteries that underpin the captivating relationship between pizza earnings and clerical manpower in Idaho.

Correlation r = 0.8065282 (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 = 0.6504878 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 65% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of production, planning, and expediting clerks in Idaho) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Domino's Pizza Group's Earnings per Share) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.7E-5. 0.0000174494243715123300000000
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 0.0017% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 57,308 random variables You don't actually need 57 thousand 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 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.

[ 0.57, 0.92 ] 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.

"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."
