[[INTRODUCTION]]

The intersection of human nomenclature and scientific inquiry may seem as far-fetched as a solar-powered flashlight, yet the allure of unconventional correlations continues to captivate the curious minds of researchers. Our study delves into the intriguing relationship between the prevalence of the first name Ruby and the generation of renewable energy in the verdant hills of Bhutan, where the tranquility of the Himalayas meets the hum of hydropower. One might even call this investigation the "Ruby in the Rough" of academic research – pun intended.

The notion of a name shaping societal inclinations may sound as improbable as a physicist wearing a lab coat made of wool – quite shocking, indeed. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, "expect the unexpected, and whenever possible, be the unexpected." Our analysis seeks to shed light on the unexplored terrain of human behavior and its resonance with environmental practices, offering an innovative angle to the dialogue on renewable energy production. We like to think of it as breaking free from the ohm-drum of traditional correlations.

The empirical foundation of this study rests upon the prodigious collation of data from the US Social Security Administration and the Energy Information Administration. Drawing correlations from these disparate sources may seem as mismatched as mixing matter and antimatter, but our dogged statistical analysis has uncovered a relationship as harmonious as a symphony of electrons in a circuit. It's as if statistical significance and unexpected correlations were a match made in quantitative heaven.

One might quip that the correlation coefficient of 0.9675946 and p < 0.01 obtained in our study is as rare as finding a scientist who appreciates puns – no small accomplishment, indeed. This robust statistical association resembles the unison of a precision-engineered mechanical system, demonstrating a surprising synchrony between the popularity of the name Ruby and the proliferation of renewable energy initiatives in Bhutan. We've certainly struck statistical gold in this pursuit of a renewable energy El Dorado.

At this juncture, one cannot help but mull over the age-old question: is correlation truly causation, or are we merely witnessing the statistical equivalent of a monkey randomly typing Shakespeare? Despite the potential for statistical flukes, our findings unveil a sustained and pronounced trend, leaving us pondering whether the widespread adoption of the name Ruby has ignited a collective fervor for sustainable energy practices. As the old adage goes, "correlation does not imply causation, but it certainly points in an interesting direction."

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith et al. (2015) explored the potential link between the prevalence of the first name Ruby and renewable energy production in the context of Bhutan. Their study yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.85, indicating a moderately strong association between the two variables. However, their analysis did not delve into the underlying societal mechanisms that might explain this unexpected correlation. Undoubtedly, the relationship between nomenclature and energy dynamics poses an enigmatic puzzle worthy of closer inspection.

Turning our attention to a more unconventional perspective, in "Eco-Naming: The Influence of Names on Environmental Attitudes" by Doe (2018), the author proposed a theoretical framework in which the popularity of certain names could influence societal inclinations toward environmentally conscious practices. The study advanced the notion that individuals bearing specific names might manifest heightened proclivities for embracing renewable energy initiatives. It's as if names have the power to shape destinies, much like a pun can shape a conversation.

Joining the discourse on unorthodox correlations, Jones (2017) contributed to the literature with a comprehensive analysis of renewable energy dynamics in Bhutan. Nonetheless, the author failed to consider the potential impact of nomenclature on the societal ethos conducive to sustainability efforts. The oversight of accounting for the influence of names in shaping energy behavior is as remarkable as a solar eclipse – it simply cannot be ignored.

Departing from the conventional studies and venturing into popular non-fiction literature, "Renewable Energy for Dummies" by Ipsum (2019) offers a detailed exploration of renewable energy technologies and their applications. While the book does not explicitly address the relationship between nomenclature and renewable energy production, its comprehensive treatment of energy dynamics serves as a valuable background for understanding the empirical context of our study. After all, a little humor can light up even the dullest of subjects.

In a similar vein, "The Clean Energy Revolution" by Lorem (2020) delves into the global transition toward renewable energy sources. While the book does not touch upon the influence of names on energy dynamics, its comprehensive coverage of sustainable energy initiatives serves as a pertinent backdrop for our investigation. One might say that it's a literary source as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day – a welcome addition to any scholarly pursuit.

Shifting our focus to fiction literature, "The Energy Enigma" by J.K. Rowling (2016) might initially appear unrelated to our study's empirical grounding. However, the exploration of magical forces shaping energy dynamics offers an allegorical perspective on the potential influence of nomenclature on societal proclivities toward sustainable practices. Sometimes, it takes a bit of imagination to illuminate the unexpected connections lurking in the shadows, much like a wizard conjures light from thin air.

In "The Power of Names" by George R.R. Martin (2014), the author weaves a narrative exploring the profound influence of names on individual destinies in a fantasy world. While the book does not directly address the connection between names and renewable energy, its thematic exploration of the power inherent in nomenclature offers a whimsical lens through which to contemplate the potential influence of names on societal attitudes toward sustainable energy production. It's as if the pages hold the key to unlocking an enchanted world of unexpected correlations.

Transitioning to the realm of television programming, "The Sustainable Life" offers insightful commentary and inspiring narratives on sustainable living practices. The program's exploration of eco-friendly lifestyles and renewable energy solutions serves as a source of anecdotal evidence that mirrors the societal trends inferred in our study. It's as if the correlation between the show's content and our research findings is as unambiguous as the punchline of a well-crafted dad joke.

In "Powering the Future," the documentary series provides a compelling depiction of renewable energy initiatives across various geographical and societal contexts. While the program does not explicitly tackle the interplay between names and energy dynamics, its exploration of the global landscape of sustainable energy offers valuable insights into the broader societal undercurrents influencing renewable energy production. It's as though our study is akin to a surprising plot twist in an otherwise predictable narrative.

It's not every day you come across such an electrifying correlation!

Through our analysis, we propose a theoretical framework in which the increasing popularity of the name Ruby corresponds with a collective societal inclination toward environmentally conscious practices, nurturing an atmosphere conducive to the proliferation of renewable energy initiatives. One might say that the name Ruby is not just a gem, but also a beacon guiding Bhutan's energy production towards sustainability.

In conclusion, this study not only illuminates an unexpected relationship between nomenclature and energy dynamics but also emphasizes the potential for unconventional indicators to inform our understanding of societal trends. After all, the name Ruby may just hold the key to unlocking Bhutan's renewable energy potential, shining bright like a diamond in the rough.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Smith et al. (2015) explored the potential link between the prevalence of the first name Ruby and renewable energy production in the context of Bhutan. Their study yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.85, indicating a moderately strong association between the two variables. However, their analysis did not delve into the underlying societal mechanisms that might explain this unexpected correlation. Undoubtedly, the relationship between nomenclature and energy dynamics poses an enigmatic puzzle worthy of closer inspection.
Turning our attention to a more unconventional perspective, in "Eco-Naming: The Influence of Names on Environmental Attitudes" by Doe (2018), the author proposed a theoretical framework in which the popularity of certain names could influence societal inclinations toward environmentally conscious practices. The study advanced the notion that individuals bearing specific names might manifest heightened proclivities for embracing renewable energy initiatives. It's as if names have the power to shape destinies, much like a pun can shape a conversation.
Joining the discourse on unorthodox correlations, Jones (2017) contributed to the literature with a comprehensive analysis of renewable energy dynamics in Bhutan. Nonetheless, the author failed to consider the potential impact of nomenclature on the societal ethos conducive to sustainability efforts. The oversight of accounting for the influence of names in shaping energy behavior is as remarkable as a solar eclipse – it simply cannot be ignored.
Departing from the conventional studies and venturing into popular non-fiction literature, "Renewable Energy for Dummies" by Ipsum (2019) offers a detailed exploration of renewable energy technologies and their applications. While the book does not explicitly address the relationship between nomenclature and renewable energy production, its comprehensive treatment of energy dynamics serves as a valuable background for understanding the empirical context of our study. After all, a little humor can light up even the dullest of subjects.
In a similar vein, "The Clean Energy Revolution" by Lorem (2020) delves into the global transition toward renewable energy sources. While the book does not touch upon the influence of names on energy dynamics, its comprehensive coverage of sustainable energy initiatives serves as a pertinent backdrop for our investigation. One might say that it's a literary source as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day – a welcome addition to any scholarly pursuit.
Shifting our focus to fiction literature, "The Energy Enigma" by J.K. Rowling (2016) might initially appear unrelated to our study's empirical grounding. However, the exploration of magical forces shaping energy dynamics offers an allegorical perspective on the potential influence of nomenclature on societal proclivities toward sustainable practices. Sometimes, it takes a bit of imagination to illuminate the unexpected connections lurking in the shadows, much like a wizard conjures light from thin air.
In "The Power of Names" by George R.R. Martin (2014), the author weaves a narrative exploring the profound influence of names on individual destinies in a fantasy world. While the book does not directly address the connection between names and renewable energy, its thematic exploration of the power inherent in nomenclature offers a whimsical lens through which to contemplate the potential influence of names on societal attitudes toward sustainable energy production. It's as if the pages hold the key to unlocking an enchanted world of unexpected correlations.
Transitioning to the realm of television programming, "The Sustainable Life" offers insightful commentary and inspiring narratives on sustainable living practices. The program's exploration of eco-friendly lifestyles and renewable energy solutions serves as a source of anecdotal evidence that mirrors the societal trends inferred in our study. It's as if the correlation between the show's content and our research findings is as unambiguous as the punchline of a well-crafted dad joke.
In "Powering the Future," the documentary series provides a compelling depiction of renewable energy initiatives across various geographical and societal contexts. While the program does not explicitly tackle the interplay between names and energy dynamics, its exploration of the global landscape of sustainable energy offers valuable insights into the broader societal undercurrents influencing renewable energy production. It's as though our study is akin to a surprising plot twist in an otherwise predictable narrative.

Correlation r = 0.9675946 (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 = 0.9362393 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Renewable energy production in Bhutan) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Ruby) over the 42 years from 1980 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.6E-25. 0.0000000000000000000000001595
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 0.97 in 1.6E-23% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 6,269,592,476,489,027,451,617,280 random variables You don't actually need 6 septillion 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 41 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 41 because we have two variables measured over a period of 42 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.

[ 0.94, 0.98 ] 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. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.




Try it yourself

You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.

Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.

Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"

Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.

Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.

Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.

Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"

If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:

"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
