Publishing as an unemployed/independent/between-jobs scientist

Hi all, title says it all - I'm between jobs and have been keeping myself busy by brushing up on my data science skills and analyzing data that is freely accessible. I found an interesting pattern that I believe is scientifically relevant and should be published, but as I am unaffiliated with any university/company at the moment I have no idea how to go about this. Can I just submit a paper as is without listing affiliation? Has anyone done anything like this?

The comments on this thread are strange. 

OP there is no reason at all why you cant submit your work to a journal/conference, you dont need to have any university affiliation or email address.

If youve never dont academic research before then its possible that you will struggle to write up your findings in the "correct" academic style, but your paper isnt going to be automatically rejected just because you dont have a PhD or affiliation.
