The relationship between societal trends and financial markets has long been a subject of fascination and curiosity, akin to the mystery of why socks always seem to vanish in the laundry. In this paper, we embark on a curious exploration of the potential connection between the popularity of the first name Shiloh and the stock price performance of ICICI Bank (IBN). While at first glance this may seem as improbable as finding a unicorn in a petting zoo, our statistical analysis seeks to bring clarity to this enigmatic correlation.

As one navigates the labyrinth of financial data, it becomes evident that the winds of social change can have unexpected gusts on market performance, much like trying to predict the direction of hair in a wind tunnel. Leveraging data from the US Social Security Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we delved into a comprehensive investigation spanning the years from 2002 to 2022, akin to peeling back the layers of an onion to reveal its underlying patterns and flavors.

We present the fruits of our labor, the correlation coefficient of 0.8980113, a number as striking as a sudden downpour on a cloudless day, signaling a rather snug relationship between the popularity of the name Shiloh and the stock price of ICICI Bank. Moreover, the p-value of less than 0.01 adds an air of statistical significance to our unanticipated findings, like stumbling upon a hidden treasure map in the attic – a rare and enthralling discovery.

In conclusion, our research raises thought-provoking questions and presents a correlation that is as peculiar as finding a toenail in a box of chocolates, yet worthy of further exploration and consideration in the web of sociological and financial dynamics.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In exploring the potential connection between the popularity of the first name Shiloh and the stock price performance of ICICI Bank (IBN), we commence our review with the laudable work of Smith (2010), who delved into the cryptic correlation between unconventional societal trends and financial markets, akin to untangling a ball of yarn left unattended by a playful kitten.

Further augmenting our understanding, Doe (2015) conducted a riveting analysis of naming trends and their impact on consumer behavior, akin to discovering that the aroma of freshly baked cookies can influence impulse purchases. Additionally, Jones (2018) spotlighted the influence of non-traditional indicators on stock performance, akin to navigating unfamiliar terrain with the aid of a trusty map.

Turning our attention to non-fictional contributions, "The Alchemy of Finance" by Soros (1987) provides valuable insights into the enigmatic dance of market forces, not unlike trying to uncover the secret ingredients of a well-guarded recipe. Meanwhile, "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner (2005) sheds light on unconventional correlations, akin to stumbling upon an unexpected musical harmony in a cacophonous symphony.

Taking an unconventional turn, we perused fictional works bearing the whisper of relevance, such as "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss and "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin, offering an imaginative glimpse into the interconnectedness of societal dynamics and unforeseen twists of fate, akin to a magician pulling a rabbit from an unsuspecting top hat.

Venturing further down the rabbit hole, we took an unorthodox approach, drawing insights from sources as diverse as the back labels of shampoo bottles, a journey as unpredictable as a whimsical trip through a candy factory. These unconventional sources, while seemingly unrelated, offered unexpected nuggets of wisdom, not unlike unearthing a rare gem in an unassuming patch of earth.

Therefore, while our approach may deviate from conventional scholarly norms, it is within such unconventional realms that we often encounter the most surprising and intriguing revelations, much like stumbling upon a long-lost treasure map in the attic – a discovery both unexpected and beguiling.

Correlation r = 0.8980113 (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 = 0.8064243 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 80.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., ICICI Bank's stock price (IBN)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Shiloh) over the 21 years from 2002 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.3E-8. 0.0000000334048085300256500000
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 0.9 in 3.3E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 29,935,810 random variables You don't actually need 29 million 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 20 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 20 because we have two variables measured over a period of 21 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.

[ 0.76, 0.96 ] 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.
