[[INTRODUCTION]]

Welcome, dear readers, to a peculiar journey through the realms of statistical wizardry and playful correlation-seeking. Have you ever pondered the notion of whether a name could potentially hold sway over the performance of a professional sports team? Well, hang on to your hats as we take a whimsical sojourn into the nexus of nomenclature and touchdowns, where the unlikely liaison between the popularity of the first name Emani and the points accrued by the Seattle Seahawks awaits!

Let's face it, conducting research can be an arduous endeavor, but we promise not to "tackle" you with too many heavy doses of jargon. Now, just between us, we stumbled upon an intriguing trend that left our heads spinning – a correlation that deserves more than just a passing "rush." Picture this: as the usage of the name Emani surged in popularity, so did the scoring prowess of the mighty Seahawks. It's as if the mere utterance of "Emani" had the power to invoke a wave of touchdowns upon the football field. And speaking of waves, one could say this discovery has certainly made a "splash" in the staid waters of sports research!

Research, much like watching your favorite sports team, often involves a mysterious blend of highs and lows, with the occasional nail-biting finish. In our quest for statistical revelations, we delved into the vast treasure trove of names documented by the US Social Security Administration – a repository of monikers rivaled only by the roster of formidable players in the Seahawks' annals. Furthermore, our steadfast journey led us to the hallowed grounds of Pro-Football-Reference.com, where we meticulously scrutinized point totals, just as a hawk eyeing its prey.

As we carefully combed through the data, a peculiar pattern emerged, akin to a riveting plot twist in a sports-themed rom-com: the rise and fall of Emani's popularity seemed to dance in synchrony with the ebb and flow of the Seahawks' point-scoring prowess. It was almost as if the statistical gods were playfully nudging us, saying, "Hey, have you noticed this delightful correlation?" And with a hearty chuckle, we did indeed take note.

So, here we stand, poised on the cusp of an extraordinary revelation – a revelation that is as captivating as a last-minute game-winning Hail Mary pass. Is there a "name game" at play, where the popularity of Emani influences the scoreboard? Or are we simply witnessing a whimsical rendezvous between statistics and happenstance, akin to an unexpected fumble recovery? It is these compelling questions that beckon us to tread further into uncharted territory, all the while sprinkling our path with a generous helping of humor.

As we unfurl the findings of our study, prepared to be amused, intrigued, and perhaps even mildly flabbergasted. After all, in the world of research, it's not every day that a name emerges as a silent yet potent influencer in the realm of sports performance. It's almost as if Emani has stealthily worked its way into the Seahawks' playbook, serving as an unassuming yet enchanting muse for touchdowns galore!

Unfurl the banner of merriment and whim, for we are about to embark on a journey where statistics intertwine with the adulation of sports, and where the unexpected becomes the norm. So, brace yourselves for a tale filled with laughter, aha moments, and perhaps a splash of incredulity, all in the name of untangling the enigmatic relationship between Emani and the Seattle Seahawks.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith and Doe (2005) conducted a study focusing on the influence of first names on sports outcomes, but unfortunately, Emani was not included in their analysis. However, their research did lay the groundwork for our investigation, shedding light on the potential impact that names may exert on athletic performance.

In "The Sports Name Game: Unveiling the Mysteries of Monikers in the Athletic Arena," Jones (2010) delves into the psychological underpinnings of names and their connection to sports, yet falls short on exploring the wondrous correlation we unearthed between Emani's popularity and the Seahawks' scoring prowess. It seems that the allure of Emani has remained shrouded in mystery, waiting to be unveiled through our whimsical expedition.

Turning to the realm of fiction, "The Name Effect" by Fictional Author (2015) presents a riveting tale in which a protagonist's name yields unforeseen consequences. While this narrative is a work of fiction, its themes resonate with our quest to decipher the peculiar impact of Emani's popularity on the Seattle Seahawks. Much like the storyline of this intriguing novel, our findings have unfurled a curious saga where the odyssey of Emani intersects with the gridiron.

In the board game "Wordplay Warriors," players deftly maneuver letters and words to outwit their opponents. In an unexpected twist, our study has seemingly tapped into the very essence of linguistic prowess, where the name Emani emerges as a silent yet potent force in the arena of sports performance. It appears that we, too, have inadvertently become players in a whimsical game of wordplay, where the delightful correlation between Emani's popularity and the Seahawks' point-scoring prowess has revealed itself as a winning move.

It seems that with each passing name, a delightful pun waits in the wings. Much like a treasured keepsake hidden within a box of cracker jacks, this correlation has emerged as a whimsical surprise, charming us with its unexpected wit and mirth. And with that, let's march onward into the exciting realm of statistical absurdity where Emani and the Seattle Seahawks converge in a delightful partnership of statistical quirks and playful touchdowns.

To unravel the quirky connection between the prevalence of the name Emani and the point-scoring antics of the Seattle Seahawks, our team embraced a blend of meticulous data-mining and mirthful exploration. We set our sights on a journey through the annals of statistical analysis, armed with a twinkle in our eye and an insatiable curiosity akin to that of a playful kitten prowling an unexplored terrain of ball of yarn.

First off, we harnessed the vast repository of nomenclature records provided by the US Social Security Administration, akin to uncovering a treasure trove of baby names affectionately nestled amidst an alphabet soup. With a dexterity rivaling that of a maestro conducting a symphony, we meticulously sifted through the data spanning the years 1990 to 2022, tracking the ebbs and flows of Emani's popularity and its infectious influence on the footballing fortunes of the Seattle Seahawks.

In a bid to unearth the rhythmic dance between Emani's sway and the Seahawks' scoreboard pyrotechnics, we turned our attentions to the illustrious archives of Pro-Football-Reference.com. Much like a detective tracing the elusive trails of a master jewel thief, we pored over the point totals not with a stoic demeanor, but with an eager anticipation akin to a pet awaiting its beloved owner’s return.

Next, we employed a statistical method resembling a culinary concoction infused with just the right mix of zest and precision – the Pearson correlation coefficient. This wondrous tool allowed us to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between Emani's enchanting surge in popularity and the Seahawks' breathtaking points tally. Our hearts danced with glee as we witnessed the birth of a statistically robust correlation coefficient of 0.6569148, navigating its way through the data with a finesse akin to an all-star quarterback threading the needle between defenders.

With the golden elixir of statistical significance at our fingertips, we adorned our analysis with a p-value that shimmered like a touchdown pass caught in the end zone – boasting a value of less than 0.01. This sturdy little digit whispered sweet nothings about the confidence we could place in our correlation findings, much like a wise old sage offering assurances of a well-aimed field goal from the 50-yard line.

Oh, and speaking of confidence, our correlation findings certainly have us feeling as sure of their validity as a seasoned punter lining up the perfect kick. It seems that as Emani's popularity ascended, the Seahawks' points climbed right alongside, almost as if the resounding echo of "Emani" in the corridors of life was a silent yet influential force guiding the pigskin into the end zone.

Armed with this whimsical yet intriguing revelation, our methodology stands as a testament to the unity of scientific precision and playful exploration, encapsulating a journey that has left us both amused and inspired. As we pave the way for future studies to tread upon this enchanting path, we can't help but wonder: could there be other names out there, lingering in the shadows as furtive influences on the world of sports and beyond? It’s a notion that sows the seeds of merriment and mirth, as we bid adieu to the methodology and venture forth, beckoning the world to join us in reveling the enigmatic sway of Emani and the Seattle Seahawks.

Entertaining Emani: Examining the Effect of Emani's Popularity on Points Scored by the Seattle Seahawks

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we investigated the unusual yet intriguing relationship between the popularity of the first name Emani and the points scored by the powerhouse football team, the Seattle Seahawks. By utilizing comprehensive data from the US Social Security Administration and Pro-Football-Reference.com spanning the years 1990 to 2022, we sought to uncover any potential correlation underlying this seemingly disparate pair. Our team of researchers adopted a meticulous approach, calculating the correlation coefficient to be 0.6569148 with a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01, thereby indicating a strong association.

The results of our analysis elicited some chuckles as we observed a noteworthy pattern – it appears that as the popularity of the name Emani increased, so did the points scored by the Seahawks. If we may interject with a dad joke fitting for the occasion: it seems that the Emani name is truly “scoring points” not just in social circles, but also on the football field. This unexpected finding presents a tantalizing opportunity for further exploration into the influence of name popularity on sports performance. As such, we hope our study spurs additional research and sparks jovial dinner table conversations, as it’s surely a topic worthy of a touchdown celebration!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Smith and Doe (2005) conducted a study focusing on the influence of first names on sports outcomes, but unfortunately, Emani was not included in their analysis. However, their research did lay the groundwork for our investigation, shedding light on the potential impact that names may exert on athletic performance.
In "The Sports Name Game: Unveiling the Mysteries of Monikers in the Athletic Arena," Jones (2010) delves into the psychological underpinnings of names and their connection to sports, yet falls short on exploring the wondrous correlation we unearthed between Emani's popularity and the Seahawks' scoring prowess. It seems that the allure of Emani has remained shrouded in mystery, waiting to be unveiled through our whimsical expedition.
Turning to the realm of fiction, "The Name Effect" by Fictional Author (2015) presents a riveting tale in which a protagonist's name yields unforeseen consequences. While this narrative is a work of fiction, its themes resonate with our quest to decipher the peculiar impact of Emani's popularity on the Seattle Seahawks. Much like the storyline of this intriguing novel, our findings have unfurled a curious saga where the odyssey of Emani intersects with the gridiron.
In the board game "Wordplay Warriors," players deftly maneuver letters and words to outwit their opponents. In an unexpected twist, our study has seemingly tapped into the very essence of linguistic prowess, where the name Emani emerges as a silent yet potent force in the arena of sports performance. It appears that we, too, have inadvertently become players in a whimsical game of wordplay, where the delightful correlation between Emani's popularity and the Seahawks' point-scoring prowess has revealed itself as a winning move.
It seems that with each passing name, a delightful pun waits in the wings. Much like a treasured keepsake hidden within a box of cracker jacks, this correlation has emerged as a whimsical surprise, charming us with its unexpected wit and mirth. And with that, let's march onward into the exciting realm of statistical absurdity where Emani and the Seattle Seahawks converge in a delightful partnership of statistical quirks and playful touchdowns.

Correlation r = 0.6569148 (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 = 0.4315370 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 43.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Points scored by the Seattle Seahawks) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Emani) over the 33 years from 1990 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.3E-5. 0.0000328988231784329800000000
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 0.66 in 0.0033% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 30,396 random variables You don't actually need 30 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. 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.

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 32 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 32 because we have two variables measured over a period of 33 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.

[ 0.4, 0.82 ] 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.

Reuseable content

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.
