Yes, you heard it right - we are delving into the curious connection between the popularity of the first name Astrid and the wind power generated in Ukraine. A peculiar pairing, you might say, but as the saying goes, "the wind bloweth where it listeth," and it seems that it may also be influenced by the rise and fall of a particular name.

The idea for this research was not born out of thin air (pun intended), but rather from a serendipitous encounter with statistical data that piqued our curiosity. As we delved into the archives of the US Social Security Administration and the Energy Information Administration, we found ourselves in the midst of a statistical whirlwind, where the winds of Astrid's popularity and Ukraine's energy production seemed to dance in remarkably close tandem. The correlation coefficient of 0.9665335 beckoned to us like a siren's call, drawing us into the captivating world of unexpected associations.

But why, you might wonder, should there be any link between a name and the generation of wind power in a distant land? As researchers, we too were initially skeptical, yet the data spoke louder than our doubts. The winds of correlation blew in our faces, demanding attention and inviting speculation. Could it be a mere coincidence, a statistical quirk to be dismissed with a shrug and a chuckle? Or perhaps, just perhaps, there is an underlying force at play that transcends our understanding and tickles the funny bone of causality.

With this paper, we invite you, our esteemed colleagues, to join us in this lighthearted yet thought-provoking exploration. Let us set sail on the sea of whimsy, propelled by the breezy enigma of Astrid's allure and Ukraine's wind power. As we navigate the waves of data and statistical analysis, may we not only uncover the truth behind this surprising correlation but also revel in the delightful irony of our scholarly pursuits. After all, in the world of academia, where else would one find a gust of wind that carries the name Astrid and the energy of Ukraine together in a whimsical waltz of statistical curiosity?

In "Smith et al. (2017)," the authors find a correlation between the popularity of given names and various societal and cultural factors. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of naming trends and their potential implications for broader social dynamics. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2019) delve into the cultural significance of names and their impact on individual and collective identities, shedding light on the intricate interplay between nomenclature and societal phenomena.

Turning to more specific domains, "Wind Power and Renewable Energy" by Brown and Green (2018) offers a comprehensive overview of wind energy's role in the global renewable energy landscape. Additionally, "Ukrainian Energy Economics" by Black and White (2016) provides valuable insights into the factors influencing energy production in Ukraine.

Furthermore, in the realm of fiction, novels such as "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini and "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell may seem unrelated at first glance, but their thematic undercurrents of resilience and change align with the notion of wind's influence and the enduring popularity of certain names. While these literary works may not provide direct empirical evidence, their exploration of human experiences resonates with the broader theme of interconnectedness that underpins this investigation.

In an unexpected turn, our literature review extends to unconventional sources, including but not limited to, the haphazardly discarded grocery lists and enigmatic scribbles on the back of cafe napkins. We even dared to delve into the esoteric realm of ancient scrolls purported to hold the secrets of name-weather correlations, and, yes, the nonsensical ramblings on CVS receipts. While their scholarly merits may be debatable, these sources added a touch of absurdity to our pursuit of understanding the intriguing correlation between the name Astrid and wind power in Ukraine. As we sifted through these unorthodox repositories of wisdom, we remain vigilant in our search for the comic relief that often hides in the unlikeliest of places.

Thus, with a lighthearted spirit and a penchant for whimsical inquiry, this literature review encompasses a range of sources, from the academic to the unconventional, as we endeavor to unravel the enigmatic relationship between the name Astrid and the generation of wind power in Ukraine.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To untangle the winds of correlation between the popularity of the first name Astrid and the wind power generated in Ukraine, our research team employed a combination of statistical methods, data analysis techniques, and a dash of whimsy. The primary sources of data for this study were the US Social Security Administration (SSA) for information on the frequency of the name Astrid and the Energy Information Administration (EIA) for data on wind power generation in Ukraine. The years 1998 to 2021 were selected to capture a comprehensive view of the trend in both the popularity of the name and wind power generation.

First, we gathered the historical data on the frequency of the name Astrid from the SSA, examining the number of newborns assigned this melodious moniker each year. To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data, we cross-referenced it with other reputable sources of baby name statistics. We then delved into the EIA's treasure trove of energy data, extracting detailed records of wind power generation specifically in Ukraine. It was crucial to consider both the temporal and geographic dimensions of the data in order to ascertain any potential linkage.

Following the data collection phase, we performed a series of rigorous statistical analyses to uncover any underlying patterns or correlations. The raw data from both sources were subjected to comprehensive cleaning and preprocessing steps to ensure consistency and reliability. This was accompanied by a cacophony of quality checks and error assessments to sift through the data and separate the substantial signals from the statistical noise.

Having curated the datasets, we then tossed them into the statistical cauldron, where we whipped up a bubbling brew of correlation analysis. Utilizing sophisticated statistical software, we calculated the correlation coefficient between the frequency of the name Astrid and the wind power generation in Ukraine. Our aim was to measure the strength and direction of any potential relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables, hoping to discern a harmonious melody amidst the statistical clamor.

To validate our findings and ensure robustness, we also conducted a battery of sensitivity analyses and diagnostic tests. These measures served as the gusts of scrutiny that swept through our data, probing for any hidden flaws or potential biases. Additionally, we strived to control for external factors that could sway the results, such as socioeconomic changes or cultural trends, through the use of multivariable regression models.

In parallel to our statistical odyssey, we dedicated ourselves to an enchanting blend of narrative analysis, exploring the whimsical nature of names and the poetic resonance of winds. Delving into folklore, literature, and linguistic musings, we sought to infuse a touch of whimsy into our research journey, embracing the spirited allure of interconnections and unexpected correlations.

Thus, armed with a harmonious blend of statistical rigor and whimsical curiosity, we set sail on the merry seas of data analysis, in pursuit of the elusive zephyr that connects the name Astrid and the winds of Ukraine.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The wind of statistical analysis has played quite the merry tune for us, revealing a correlation between the popularity of the name Astrid and the wind power generated in Ukraine that seems to blow conventional wisdom right out the window. Our findings align with the scholarly work of Smith et al. (2017) and Doe and Jones (2019), who explored the societal and cultural influences of given names, blatantly ignoring the fact that our research hovers in the realm of downright zephyrous absurdity.

In a manner akin to a gentle breeze building into a mighty gale, our results support the unexpected connection between nomenclature and renewable energy production in Ukraine. Surpassing the wind power of previous studies, we've managed to illustrate a robust correlation between the popularity of the name Astrid and the generation of wind power in Ukraine, giving a whole new meaning to the term 'blowin' with the wind'.

It seems that the thematic undercurrents of novels like "Gone with the Wind" and "The Kite Runner," mentioned in our literature review, might not just be literary flights of fancy but perhaps veiled allegories for the meteorological significance of specific names. The winds of fate, it appears, may indeed be influenced by the names we bestow upon our progeny, in a veritable whirlwind of implications as vast as the odyssey of a wayward CVS receipt.

Our study whirls us into a gusty realm where the familiar zephyrs of academic inquiry blend harmoniously with the whims of curiosity. The r-squared value of 0.9341870 tells a tale of 93% of the variance in wind power generation in Ukraine being swept away by the effervescence of the name Astrid. One might say our study really managed to "breeze" through the conundrum of this unexpected correlation.

As we contest the notion of randomness in the universe, we must acknowledge that our findings, while mirthful, beckon further investigation into the unseen forces at play. Our scatterplot dances merrily, just like a leaf caught in an autumnal gale, corroborating the quixotic nature of the link between a name and wind power generation.

These results leave us pondering if the gentle rustling of particular names in the societal leaves might indeed stir the winds of change in immeasurable ways. With a light-hearted yet unyielding spirit, we urge our scholarly companions to join us in both reveling in the whimsy of this unexpected correlation and unfurling the sails of further whimsical inquiry that may blow us into uncharted territories of understanding. Our lighthearted exploration may have turned the windmills of traditional research on their heads, but with it, we hope to harness a gust of curiosity that breathes new life into the charmingly unpredictable world of academic investigation.

Correlation r = 0.9665335 (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 = 0.9341870 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Wind power generated in Ukraine) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Astrid) over the 24 years from 1998 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.7E-14. 0.0000000000000174076431065542
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 1.7E-12% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 57,446,030,681,976 random variables You don't actually need 57 trillion 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 23 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 23 because we have two variables measured over a period of 24 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.

[ 0.92, 0.99 ] 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. Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
