[[METHODOLOGY]]
In order to disentangle the enigmatic relationship between the number of pesticide handlers in Oregon and the stock price of Vale S.A. (VALE), a meticulous and somewhat convoluted assortment of research methods was employed. The data utilized for this study was primarily sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), providing a rich tapestry of numerical insight spanning the years 2003 to 2022. The initial task of data collection involved combing through various databases, sifting through the digital haystack to extract the financial needles of relevance to our inquiry.
To begin the analysis, a series of rigorous statistical measures were undertaken to ensure the integrity and precision of the data. This process involved employing sophisticated econometric techniques, such as time series analysis and multivariate regression models, to discern any potential correlation between the number of pesticide handlers in Oregon and the fluctuation of Vale S.A.'s stock price. The application of these methods allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the complex interplay between agricultural activities and financial market dynamics.
Furthermore, in an attempt to account for potential confounding variables and hidden covariates, a robust sensitivity analysis was conducted to scrutinize the stability and robustness of the observed relationships. Sensitivity analysis, akin to the delicate balancing act of a tightrope walker, allowed for an exploration of the potential impact of varying assumptions and alternate model specifications on our findings.
Additionally, to address the complexities of time-varying relationships inherent in longitudinal data, dynamic panel data models were employed to capture the evolving nature of the pesticide-handling-stock-price nexus. These models, much like a musical composition, harmoniously blended the intricate nuances of temporal dynamics with the resounding crescendo of statistical insight.
Moreover, to enrich the analyses with a touch of geographic nuance, geospatial mapping techniques were artfully employed to visualize the spatial distribution of pesticide handlers in Oregon and their plausible association with the temporal fluctuations of Vale S.A.'s stock price. This meticulous cartographic endeavor provided a visually captivating depiction of the potential geographic links between pesticide handling activities and stock market dynamics.
Finally, in a nod to the inherently unpredictable nature of financial markets, stochastic simulation methods were utilized to simulate the potential impact of unforeseen events and exogenous shocks on the observed association. This simulation injected an element of whimsy into the otherwise solemn statistical proceedings, reminding us that even in the world of empirical inquiry, unexpected randomness is a constant companion.
In summary, the confluence of these diverse research methods served as the compass and sextant guiding our scholarly expedition through the captivating conundrum of pesticide handlers and stock price dynamics. This multi-faceted approach allowed for a thorough investigation of the potential connections between the verdant world of agriculture and the cryptic realm of stock market fluctuations. Despite the serious nature of this quantitative endeavor, the meandering path of statistical exploration has left us with an appreciation for the idiosyncrasies of our academic pilgrimage.

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 = 0.7034793 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 70.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Vale S.A.'s stock price (VALE)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of pesticide handlers in Oregon) over the 20 years from 2003 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.8E-6. 0.0000038405023232216640000000
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 0.00038% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 260,383 random variables You don't actually need 260 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.
[ 0.63, 0.93 ] 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 25,153 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.
- 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.
