[[INTRODUCTION]]

Lights, camera, Malia! In recent years, the intersection between popular culture and nomenclature has piqued the interest of researchers and enthusiasts alike. The appeal of certain names and their potential effects on various aspects of life has become a subject of fascination. Whether it's due to mere coincidence or a cosmic alignment of stars, the influence of names on societal phenomena has sparked endless curiosity and wit. Speaking of wit, here's a dad joke that fits right in: What do you get when you cross a Malia with a blockbuster film? A box office hit named "Malia Money!"

Amidst this whimsical exploration lies the alluring correlation between the first name Malia and the total revenue of the year's highest-grossing film. This connection, often overlooked in the realm of statistical analysis, has garnered attention for its unexpected and puzzling implications. It seems that the name Malia isn't just an ordinary name; it holds a certain box office "a-Malia-tion" that ignites the silver screen with financial success.

As researchers in this enigmatic domain, we set out to unravel the mystery behind the Malia phenomenon. We delved into data from the US Social Security Administration and Wikipedia, combing through years of records to unearth the underlying patterns and associations. Our quest was not without its whimsical moments, including the discovery of a correlation coefficient of 0.6557822. It's as if the data itself is saying, "Hey, look at me, I'm statistically significant and I know it!" Almost as delightful as the discovery is a joke about Malias and movie revenue: What do you call a Malia who loves films? A "reel" fan!

This study aims to cast a spotlight on the fascinating relationship between the name Malia and the financial fortunes of blockbuster films. It seeks to offer a fresh, if not slightly whimsical, perspective on the dynamics of movie revenue. By shedding light on the influence of a name on the entertainment industry, this research aspires to unearth valuable insights into the intersections of culture, identity, and success. With that said, here's a dad joke to close this introduction: Why did the Malia bring a ladder to the cinema? Because she heard the movie was "uplifting"!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In their study "The Names We Choose: A Comprehensive Analysis of Cultural Influences on Nomenclature," Smith and Doe examine the societal impact of names on various domains, including entertainment. The authors discuss the potential connotations and associations linked to specific names and how they can influence public perception and reception of cultural products. Similarly, Jones et al., in "Name Game: Exploring the Subconscious Effects of Personal Nomenclature," delve into the psychological dynamics of names and their potential influence on consumer behavior and preferences.

Now, let's step into another dimension of research where the pages of non-fiction books like "The Power of Names" by P. H. Heaven and "Naming and Necessity" by Saul A. Kripke offer insightful discourse on the intriguing nuances of names and their impact on human experiences. These works bring a thought-provoking perspective to the table, guiding our understanding of the deeper significance behind the name Malia and its potential influence on the cinematic universe.

Venturing into the realm of fiction, the magical world of "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling introduces the character of Nymphadora Tonks, whose polymorphic name-changing abilities add a whimsical touch to the power of proper names. Similarly, in the dystopian setting of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen's name sparks hope and rebellion, resonating with the themes of identity and influence. These works, while fiction, enrich our appreciation of the role of names in shaping narrative arcs and character dynamics.

Internet memes, too, have not escaped the name game. Memes such as the "Name Does Not Define You" series hilariously underscore the paradox of names influencing outcomes while emphasizing the individual's intrinsic value beyond nomenclature. Additionally, the "Malia Money" meme, featuring a playful juxtaposition of movie posters with the name "Malia" interwoven into titles, humorously highlights the unexpected correlation between a name and box office success.

In "Pop Culture and Pseudoscientific Phenomena: A Comedic Exploration of Unlikely Connections," the authors humorously explore the fascinating intersection of cultural phenomena and seemingly unrelated entities, taking a light-hearted approach to uncovering surprising correlations. With a wink to the unexpected, this unconventional literature review fosters a comedic lens through which to view the enigmatic connection between the name Malia and blockbuster revenue.

This brings us to the end of our literature review, and fittingly, a dad joke to wrap it up: Why was the name Malia perfect for this research? Because when it comes to box office success, she's "name"-thing special!

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To uncover the mysterious link between the name Malia and the box office success of films, our research team embarked on a data-gathering adventure that involved traversing the murky depths of the internet. We scoured the annals of the US Social Security Administration’s historical baby name data, meticulously extracting information on the prevalence of the name Malia from 2001 to 2022. This process involved navigating through a myriad of government databases, where the "search for Malia" metaphorically became a digital treasure hunt reminiscent of a cinematic quest for buried treasure. Amidst the sea of data, one might even say we were "data-digging" for a name-related goldmine!

Simultaneously, we delved into the vast expanse of Wikipedia, where we explored a bounty of knowledge encompassing the highest-grossing films of each year. Gathering information on these cinematic giants involved surfing through an ocean of movie trivia, analyzing box office figures, and uncovering the financial feats of each film. Needless to say, the navigation of Wikipedia’s cinematic wealth felt akin to embarking on a "Wikipedia-walk" in search of Malia-money connections.

Once our data compilers returned triumphant from their digital adventures, we engaged in a bout of statistical analysis to ferret out any potential connections between the name Malia and box office success. Employing correlation analysis, we aimed to discern whether there existed a meaningful relationship between the two variables. By crunching numbers and peering through the statistical looking glass, we sought to shine a spotlight on the hitherto unexplored domain of name-related financial fortune. Our statistical endeavors were, in a sense, analogous to a "mathematical movie magic" quest.

Bringing both the name Malia and box office revenue under the same analytical lens, we meticulously calculated correlation coefficients and p-values to gauge the strength and significance of any observed associations. The culmination of our statistical odyssey resulted in the unearthing of a correlation coefficient of 0.6557822, with a p-value less than 0.01. Our findings not only unearthed a statistically significant relationship but also left us marveling at the "box office allure" of the name Malia!

In conclusion, our methodology may have involved traversing the digital seas, embarking on Wikipedia wanderings, and conducting statistical sleuthing, but the journey to unravel the Malia-money connection was nothing short of a whimsical adventure – so much so that we couldn't help but squeeze in a few puns and jokes along the way!

Now, let's step into another dimension of research where the pages of non-fiction books like "The Power of Names" by P. H. Heaven and "Naming and Necessity" by Saul A. Kripke offer insightful discourse on the intriguing nuances of names and their impact on human experiences. These works bring a thought-provoking perspective to the table, guiding our understanding of the deeper significance behind the name Malia and its potential influence on the cinematic universe.
Venturing into the realm of fiction, the magical world of "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling introduces the character of Nymphadora Tonks, whose polymorphic name-changing abilities add a whimsical touch to the power of proper names. Similarly, in the dystopian setting of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen's name sparks hope and rebellion, resonating with the themes of identity and influence. These works, while fiction, enrich our appreciation of the role of names in shaping narrative arcs and character dynamics.
Internet memes, too, have not escaped the name game. Memes such as the "Name Does Not Define You" series hilariously underscore the paradox of names influencing outcomes while emphasizing the individual's intrinsic value beyond nomenclature. Additionally, the "Malia Money" meme, featuring a playful juxtaposition of movie posters with the name "Malia" interwoven into titles, humorously highlights the unexpected correlation between a name and box office success.
In "Pop Culture and Pseudoscientific Phenomena: A Comedic Exploration of Unlikely Connections," the authors humorously explore the fascinating intersection of cultural phenomena and seemingly unrelated entities, taking a light-hearted approach to uncovering surprising correlations. With a wink to the unexpected, this unconventional literature review fosters a comedic lens through which to view the enigmatic connection between the name Malia and blockbuster revenue.
This brings us to the end of our literature review, and fittingly, a dad joke to wrap it up: Why was the name Malia perfect for this research? Because when it comes to box office success, she's "name"-thing special!

It seems that a rising tide of Malias does lift all box office boats! This correlation suggests that as the popularity of the name Malia increases, so does the total revenue of the year's highest-grossing film. It's almost as if the name Malia has a "revenue-rising" effect on the film industry. And here's a dad joke to lighten up the findings: Why don't Malias watch movies in 4K? Because they prefer "Mal-ia" definition!

Correlation r = 0.6557822 (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 = 0.4300502 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 43% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total revenue of the year's highest-grossing film) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Malia) over the 22 years from 2001 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00092. 0.0009211361229318782000000000
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 0.092% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,086 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 21 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 21 because we have two variables measured over a period of 22 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.

[ 0.32, 0.84 ] 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.
