[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the realm of politics, the factors influencing voters' choices are as abundant as political campaign promises. Yet, amidst the sea of policy platforms and election fervor, one peculiar influence often goes unnoticed - the power of a name. This study delves into the curious world of political nomenclature to investigate the intriguing connection between the popularity of the name "Demi" and Libertarian votes for Senators in none other than the beehive state of Utah. The interplay between a moniker and political ideology may seem far-fetched, but as we unravel the enigma, you'll see that there's more to "Demi" than meets the eye.

The idea that a simple name could hold sway over political standings might seem rather "Demi-godly," but our examination of US Social Security Administration data and MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Harvard Dataverse from 1982 to 2018, has uncovered an eyebrow-raising correlation. To put it simply, there's a strong statistical association between the surge in the name "Demi" and the uptick in Libertarian votes in the Senate race in Utah. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9842061, the numbers paint an intriguing picture, hinting at a potential impact of nomenclature on political behavior.

But before we delve deeper into the realm of "Demi-cratic" choices and the whimsical ways in which names may weave into political decisions, let's take a step back and ponder the absurdity and charm of this unlikely connection. It's as if the name "Demi" has the power to stir up a libertarian spirit in the hearts of Utah voters, making them shout, "Demi-cracy for the win!"

So buckle up and get ready to embark on an academic adventure that pairs political prowess with a dash of whimsy, as we explore the unforeseen impact of a name and the curious undercurrents that shape the world of politics. As we navigate through this topsy-turvy terrain, one thing is certain - the saga of "Demi-cratic" choices in the land of Utah is far from being just a "Demi-godsend" of chance.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

An extensive review of existing literature on the impact of names on political behavior reveals a dearth of scholarly inquiry into the specific relationship between the popularity of the name "Demi" and Libertarian Senate votes in Utah. However, research by Smith (2015) delves into the broader realm of name influence, uncovering how names can shape perceptions and attitudes. Similarly, Doe (2017) explores the impact of personal names on social and political dynamics, shedding light on the intricate ways in which names can subconsciously sway individuals.

Moving beyond scholarly articles, real-world accounts elevate our understanding of the societal impact of names. In "Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, the authors intriguingly discuss the potential significance of names and their influence on personal and professional outcomes. In a similar vein, "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell provides a captivating exploration of the unexpected factors that shape success, prompting readers to contemplate the curious role of names in defining one's trajectory.

Furthermore, fictional literature offers unusual insight into the potential whimsical dimensions of name impact. J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, although seemingly unrelated to political nomenclature, presents a fascinating study in the power of names, with characters such as Demelza Robins and Demetrius J. highlighting the intriguing influence of names within the realm of fiction. On a more tangentially related note, the dystopian world of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins illustrates the impact of names in shaping societal perceptions and political dynamics, presenting a thought-provoking parallel to our examination of the "Demi" phenomenon.

In an unconventional approach to literature review, this study also considered a diverse array of unconventional sources, including overheard conversations at local coffee shops, interpretive dance performances, and even the cryptic messages hidden within CVS receipts. While the validity and relevance of these sources may be questionable, their quirky contribution to our understanding of the "Demi" phenomenon cannot be entirely disregarded.

Together, these diverse strands of literature, serious and whimsical alike, provide unique insights into the potential impact of names on political choices, laying the groundwork for our exploration of the peculiar relationship between the popularity of the name "Demi" and Libertarian Senate votes in Utah. As we navigate this lighthearted labyrinth of nomenclature and politics, it is clear that the influence of names may be more profound than we initially imagine, offering a playful twist to the complex tapestry of political behavior.

[[DISCUSSION]]

Our study sought to shed light on the peculiar relationship between the popularity of the name “Demi” and Libertarian votes for Senators in Utah, and the results have left us both perplexed and buoyantly entertained. Building on the foundation of previous research regarding the impact of names on political behavior, our findings have added a quirky, yet remarkably intriguing dimension to this field of study.

As indicated by Smith (2015), the influence of names on perceptions and attitudes is not to be underestimated. Similarly, the work of Doe (2017) illuminated the intricate ways in which names can subconsciously sway individuals. Taking these prior findings into account, our research has substantiated and extended this line of inquiry by uncovering a statistically significant correlation between the popularity of the name “Demi” and Libertarian votes in Utah. It seems that the influence of a name can reach beyond the individual and permeate the collective political consciousness, resulting in what could be deemed a "Demi-cratic" effect.

Moreover, the offbeat sources considered during our literature review have provided a whimsical context for our study. While a connection between interpretive dance performances and political nomenclature may appear tenuous on the surface, we cannot disregard the unique perspectives they contributed. After all, it’s not every day that one receives political insight from a pirouette or a plié.

Our results not only corroborate the theoretical underpinnings of name influence but also invite contemplation of the broader implications. The visual depiction of our data in the scatterplot (Fig. 1) serves not only as a tool for statistical analysis but also as an emblem of the unexpected interplay between a name and political preferences. The compelling story told by this figure elucidates the progression of "Demi" popularity alongside the rise in Libertarian votes, revealing the uncanny synchronicity between the two variables. One might even say it paints a picture of "Demi-god" proportions!

The statistically significant correlation coefficient and p-value further emphasize the robustness and reliability of our findings, steering us away from dismissing this association as a mere fluke. Perhaps there is indeed something Demi-logical about the sway of this particular name on Utah’s political landscape.

In essence, our study weaves a lighthearted yet thought-provoking narrative within the realm of political behavior, urging us to consider the offbeat ways in which names may influence the voting booth. Our findings do not just serve as an enigmatic puzzle to be deciphered but as an invitation to ponder the quirky tapestry of political nomenclature. Therefore, the next time you hear the name “Demi” echoing through the deserts of Utah, take a moment to appreciate the potential impact of a name on political decisions—an insight that adds a new layer of intrigue to the democratic process.

Correlation r = 0.9842061 (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 = 0.9686617 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 96.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Votes for Libertarian Senators in Utah) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Demi) over the 6 years from 1982 through 2018.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00037. 0.0003721988927067549400000000
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 0.98 in 0.037% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,687 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 5 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 5 because we have two variables measured over a period of 6 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.

[ 0.86, 1 ] 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.
