AI explanation

As the population of biology teachers grew, so did their expertise in plant and animal life. This knowledge inadvertently led to the discovery of a new, highly oxygenating breed of genetically modified, supercharged ferns. These ferns were strategically planted along the climbers' route, creating oxygenated "rest stops" and effectively turning Mount Everest into the world's highest natural oxygen bar, making the ascent easier and more efficient for adventurers. This unexpected green pathway to success has forever changed the landscape of mountain climbing and plant physiology.

The author's insights into the physical and mental preparedness required for conquering the world's highest peak offer valuable context for our inquiry into the unexpected correlation between scholarly presence and summit achievements.

Jones (2019) delves into the cultural significance of mountaineering in "The Sociology of Summits," exploring the societal narratives and personal motivations entwined with conquering mountains. The author's sociological lens provides a thought-provoking backdrop against which to consider the unanticipated relationship we have uncovered between the academic community in Alabama and the triumphs of Everest.

Turning to non-fiction works on mountaineering, we find "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer and "Touching the Void" by Joe Simpson, both recounting harrowing accounts of mountaineering expeditions. While they do not explicitly address the correlation under investigation, they offer vivid portrayals of the challenges and camaraderie that define such ventures.

In the realm of fiction, the themes of ambition, perseverance, and personal growth echo throughout works such as "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London and "The Lost City of Z" by David Grann. While these novels do not provide empirical evidence for our correlation, they do immerse readers in the spirit of adventure and resilience that typify both academic pursuits and mountaineering.

Delving further into unconventional sources, we stumbled upon some unexpected insights. A thorough review of CVS receipts revealed a surprising, albeit comically irrelevant, abundance of purchase data related to energy drinks, antacids, and unusually large quantities of trail mix. While these findings did not directly contribute to our understanding of the correlation between university biological science teachers in Alabama and successful Mount Everest climbs, they did offer an entertaining diversion and a reminder of the quirky paths research endeavors can sometimes lead us down.

In considering the peculiar connection explored in this research paper, we are reminded that the world of academia and the realm of mountaineering are not distant peaks but rather interconnected landscapes, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for exploration. As we synthesize this diverse array of literature and embark on our own analytical ascent, we are compelled to appreciate the unexpected humor and serendipity that often accompany the pursuit of knowledge, whether in scholarly pursuits or in the thrilling heights of scientific revelation.

Correlation r = 0.7561586 (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 = 0.5717759 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 57.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total Number of Successful Mount Everest Climbs) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of university biological science teachers in Alabama) over the 9 years from 2003 through 2011.

p < 0.05, which statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.018. 0.0183953242146963520000000000
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 0.76 in 1.8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 54 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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.

[ 0.18, 0.95 ] 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. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
