Fueling a Victory: The Interplay of Fossil Fuel Use in Nauru with Season Wins for the Kansas City Chiefs

[[ABSTRACT]]
This study delves into the unexpected connection between fossil fuel use in the tiny island nation of Nauru and the season wins for the Kansas City Chiefs in American football. By utilizing data from the Energy Information Administration and Pro-Football-Reference.com, we set out to explore this peculiar correlation. Our analyses revealed a surprising correlation coefficient of 0.6391566 and p < 0.01 for the period spanning 1980 to 2021. While it may seem preposterous on the surface, our findings indicate a statistical relationship between the two variables that demands further investigation. We also humorously propose that perhaps the Chiefs are fueled not only by their athletic prowess, but also by the energy generated from remote islands. Our research adds a whimsical yet intriguing layer to the broader discussion of sports performance and global energy consumption.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Introduction
The interplay between sports performance and external factors has been a subject of fascination and analysis for decades. From the analysis of athlete nutrition to the impact of weather on game outcomes, researchers and enthusiasts alike have sought to unravel the intricate web of influences that shape the results of sporting events. Taking this curiosity to a very unexpected intersection, this study seeks to explore the correlation between fossil fuel use in Nauru, a speck of land in the Pacific, and the success of the Kansas City Chiefs in their American football seasons.
The seemingly far-fetched connection between the energy consumption patterns of a remote island and touchdowns scored in a stadium might elicit a few quizzical looks. However, as any dedicated scientist would proclaim, stranger things have happened in the world of statistical analysis. When examining the period from 1980 to 2021, our investigation uncovered an eyebrow-raising correlation coefficient of 0.6391566 and p < 0.01, hinting at a potentially meaningful relationship between these peculiar variables.
As we begin this whimsical yet meticulous exploration, let us indulge in the possibility that perhaps the Chiefs are not merely powered by their players' strength and agility, but also by the energy generated from an unassuming island often overshadowed by its more illustrious neighbors. This journey to examine the unexpected correlations in the realms of sports and energy consumption promises to offer a blend of academic rigor and amusement, and may even unearth insights that will fuel further scholarly inquiry and lighthearted banter alike.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the relationship between fossil fuel use in Nauru and season wins for the Kansas City Chiefs has yielded some intriguing results. Our research indicated a correlation coefficient of 0.6391566, an r-squared of 0.4085212, and a significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period from 1980 to 2021.
The strength of the correlation suggests a compelling association between the two seemingly disparate variables. The scatterplot in Figure 1 vividly illustrates this strong correlation, showcasing the unexpected linkage between the energy practices of a tiny Pacific nation and the on-field successes of an American football team. It seems that the Chiefs might have found an unconventional ally in the form of Nauruan fossil fuels.
This study's findings may prompt some to view the Kansas City Chiefs' victories in a new light, perhaps with a touch of whimsy as they consider the prospect of island energy playing a role in the team's triumphs. Our results, while initially befuddling, underscore the need for further investigation into the curious connections between sports performance and global energy dynamics.
The statistical relationship uncovered in this study not only raises eyebrows but also invites a lighthearted reflection on the potential impact of remote island energy on the gridiron. As we eagerly anticipate further inquiry into this improbable association, it is clear that this research has added a touch of mirth to the otherwise serious discourse on sports performance and its curious ties to international energy consumption.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our research has unveiled a statistically significant correlation between fossil fuel use in Nauru and the season wins for the Kansas City Chiefs. We recognize that the idea of a Pacific island's energy influencing the outcome of American football games may seem as far-fetched as a two-minute warning turning into a two-minute frenzy for renewable energy, but our findings cannot be dismissed lightly. The correlation coefficient of 0.6391566 and the significant p-value of less than 0.01 suggest an association that demands further investigation, even if it leaves the scientific community scratching their heads more vigorously than a player with an itchy helmet.

While it may be tempting to dismiss our results as mere statistical noise, let us not forget the power of whimsy and imagination in scientific inquiry. Perhaps the Chiefs' victories are not solely driven by their physical prowess, but also by the unexpected support from an island known more for its phosphate deposits than its impact on touchdowns. It appears that Nauru's energy reserves may be fueling more than just the economy - they could be providing a spark to the Chiefs' gameplay.

This study, though conducted with an air of playfulness, underscores the need to recognize the unexpected influences that can shape sports outcomes. It also reminds us that statistical analyses, much like a game-winning field goal attempt, can surprise us with their outcomes. Nonetheless, we assert, with a touch of academic levity, that no further research is needed in this area - Nauru's impact on the Kansas City Chiefs' success is a lively and lighthearted reminder that the most unexpected correlations can often score big in capturing our imagination.

Correlation r = 0.6391566 (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 = 0.4085212 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 40.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Season wins for the Kansas City Chiefs) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Fossil fuel use in Nauru) over the 42 years from 1980 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.2E-6. 0.0000052175351126034230000000
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 0.64 in 0.00052% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 191,661 random variables You don't actually need 191 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 41 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 41 because we have two variables measured over a period of 42 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.

[ 0.42, 0.79 ] 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.
