Jones (2018) discusses the influence of unconventional variables on aviation safety, shedding light on the often overlooked connections in the domain of flight. As we delve further into this perplexing correlation, we can't help but wonder if these authors ever imagined the possibility of a "plane" crash and design collision.

Turning the page to non-fiction works, "The Art of Design and Aviation: A Surprising Synchronization" by Wilson (2019) brings to light the nuanced relationships between creative expression and the science of flight. Meanwhile, "Up in the Air: Unseen Forces in Design" by Anderson (2020) presents a thought-provoking analysis of the subtle influences that shape our skies. These serious works provide a valuable foundation for our investigation, but we couldn't resist the urge to dive into the realm of fiction for some light-hearted inspiration.

Imaginative literature also offers intriguing perspectives on the unexpected connections we seek to explore. In "The Artistic Tailwind" by Smithson (2017), the protagonist stumbles upon a hidden world where designs hold sway over the trajectory of planes, offering a whimsical take on our current research endeavor. Similarly, "The Flight of Creativity" by Johnson (2018) conjures a universe where the mesmerizing power of design sends ripples through the fabric of aviation, leaving us with a playful reminder that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.

As we weigh the gravity of our findings, it's important to acknowledge the need for an eclectic approach to literature review. While we've steeped ourselves in scholarly and creative pursuits, we couldn't resist an offbeat strategy to uncover additional insights. As such, we turned to unconventional sources, including the back of cereal boxes, fortune cookies, and even the labels of shampoo bottles. While the data gleaned from these sources may not pass the rigors of peer review, they certainly added a lighthearted touch to our investigation and offered a humorous perspective on the mysteries that lie at the intersection of design and aviation.

After carefully gathering and analyzing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and PlaneCrashInfo, we uncovered a correlation coefficient of 0.7107005 and an impressively significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the period from 2003 to 2021. It seems that the field of set and exhibit design in New Mexico might hold the key to understanding the turbulence in global aviation safety.

Further investigation led us to ponder the question: Could there be an unseen force at play, perhaps an invisible hand tweaking the layout of exhibits or sets in a way that inadvertently impacts the flight patterns of airplanes? We couldn't resist the thought that maybe some designers' creations were just too "plane" mesmerizing.

While our findings are certainly eyebrow-raising, we acknowledge that correlation does not imply causation. Yet, we can't help but marvel at the possibility of a newfound connection between the art of design and the science of aviation. As we continue to unravel this enigma, we hope to inspire future research that will shed light on this unusual and unexpectedly entertaining relationship.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The exploration of the relationship between the number of set and exhibit designers in New Mexico and global plane crashes finds grounding in a variety of scholarly works. Smith and Doe (2015) delve into the intricate world of design and its potential impact on seemingly unrelated industries. Jones (2018) discusses the influence of unconventional variables on aviation safety, shedding light on the often overlooked connections in the domain of flight. As we delve further into this perplexing correlation, we can't help but wonder if these authors ever imagined the possibility of a "plane" crash and design collision.
Turning the page to non-fiction works, "The Art of Design and Aviation: A Surprising Synchronization" by Wilson (2019) brings to light the nuanced relationships between creative expression and the science of flight. Meanwhile, "Up in the Air: Unseen Forces in Design" by Anderson (2020) presents a thought-provoking analysis of the subtle influences that shape our skies. These serious works provide a valuable foundation for our investigation, but we couldn't resist the urge to dive into the realm of fiction for some light-hearted inspiration.
Imaginative literature also offers intriguing perspectives on the unexpected connections we seek to explore. In "The Artistic Tailwind" by Smithson (2017), the protagonist stumbles upon a hidden world where designs hold sway over the trajectory of planes, offering a whimsical take on our current research endeavor. Similarly, "The Flight of Creativity" by Johnson (2018) conjures a universe where the mesmerizing power of design sends ripples through the fabric of aviation, leaving us with a playful reminder that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.
As we weigh the gravity of our findings, it's important to acknowledge the need for an eclectic approach to literature review. While we've steeped ourselves in scholarly and creative pursuits, we couldn't resist an offbeat strategy to uncover additional insights. As such, we turned to unconventional sources, including the back of cereal boxes, fortune cookies, and even the labels of shampoo bottles. While the data gleaned from these sources may not pass the rigors of peer review, they certainly added a lighthearted touch to our investigation and offered a humorous perspective on the mysteries that lie at the intersection of design and aviation.

[[RESULTS]]
The correlation analysis revealed a substantial correlation coefficient of 0.7107005 between the number of set and exhibit designers in New Mexico and the occurrence of global plane crashes from 2003 to 2021. The coefficient of determination (r-squared) of 0.5050953 indicates that approximately 50.51% of the variance in global plane crashes can be explained by the number of set and exhibit designers in New Mexico. The p-value of less than 0.01 further underscored the strength of this relationship, leaving us "plane" curious about its underlying mechanisms.
Upon examining the scatterplot (Fig. 1), the linear trend line unmistakably illustrates the positive association between these two variables. It seems that as the number of set and exhibit designers in New Mexico increases, so does the occurrence of global plane crashes, prompting us to ponder whether there might be an "artistic turbulence" effect at play.
In our quest to unravel this unexpected connection, we couldn't help but entertain the thought that perhaps some designs were so captivating that they caused pilots to be "drawn" to them, creating a mesmerizing effect as they soared through the skies. It's almost as if New Mexico's set and exhibit designers inadvertently became the "magnetic north" for airborne travel.
While the findings are undeniably thought-provoking, we must approach them with caution, recognizing that correlation does not imply causation. Nonetheless, the tantalizing prospect of an interplay between the world of design and the realm of aviation safety has left us "high-flying" with excitement and anticipation for what further research might reveal.

Correlation r = 0.7107005 (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 = 0.5050953 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 50.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Global plane crashes) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of set and exhibit designers in New Mexico) over the 19 years from 2003 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00065. 0.0006483724947586225000000000
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 0.71 in 0.065% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,542 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 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.

[ 0.38, 0.88 ] 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.
