Our journey takes us to the enchanting land of Thailand, where the gurgling of hydropower energy intertwines with the rise and fall of a singular name – "Tristian." It is no small feat to ponder the correlation between the popularity of a given name and the hydroelectric potential of a nation, but as keen researchers, we tackle this waggish mystery with vigor and mirth.

The notion that the moniker "Tristian" could exert any influence over the generation of hydropower in Thailand may at first glance appear as preposterous as an engineer trying to use a rubber duck as a turbine model. However, as the adage in academia goes, "Correlation does not imply causation, but it sure is fun to speculate!" With this whimsical mindset, we set out to uncover a correlation that tickles the imagination and challenges traditional perspectives on statistical analysis.

Our investigation into this curiously quirky connection draws upon data from the US Social Security Administration, where we unearth the undulating wave of "Tristian" occurrences over the past four decades. On the other end of our enchanted spectrum, we delve into the depths of the Energy Information Administration’s reservoir of hydropower data in Thailand, where the captivating ebb and flow of renewable energy sources awaits our scrutiny.

While the world of research and statistics often demands solemnity, we embrace the opportunity to infuse our exploration with a touch of levity, recognizing that even the most seemingly absurd correlations can unveil remarkable insights. Join us as we embark on this merry chase into the realm of statistical banter, wherein the wit and puns flow as freely as the currents of hydropower. After all, why should the data have all the fun? So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelts – or better yet, your thinking caps – as we delve into the peculiar and punderful correlation between the popularity of the name "Tristian" and the hydropower energy generated in the land of smiles.

In our quest to unravel the improbable, we hope to humor, inspire, and unveil the wondrous weave of statistical anomalies that enchant our inquisitive minds.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between given names and socio-economic phenomena has been a subject of interest and intrigue for researchers across various disciplines. In their seminal work, Smith and Doe (2005) laid the groundwork for this unconventional area of investigation by highlighting the potential influence of names on societal trends. Jones et al. (2012) expanded on this notion, delving into the correlation between naming patterns and renewable energy sources, albeit with a more serious tone. However, the present study takes a whimsical twist by examining the relationship between the popularity of the name "Tristian" and hydropower energy generation in the vibrant land of Thailand.

Turning our attention to related literature, "Names and Numbers" by Johnson (2010) provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural and statistical significance of given names, offering a sober analysis of naming trends over time. In contrast, "Hydropower and Hilarity" by Green (2016) ventures into the realm of renewable energy with a lighthearted exploration of hydroelectric power and its curious connections to unexpected factors – a fitting precursor to our own jovial investigation.

On a more fanciful note, fictional works such as "The Name Game" by Waters (2008) and "Watts in a Name" by Sparks (2014) playfully toy with the idea of names shaping the world around us, offering imaginative scenarios where nomenclature intertwines with curious consequences. While these literary creations may seem far removed from the empirical rigor of academic research, they inspire the spirit of playful exploration that permeates our own quest for correlation.

Venturing into the realm of online discourse, a tweet by @StatisticalWizard muses, "Who would have thought that the ebb and flow of hydropower in Thailand could be tied to a name like 'Tristian'? Statistical whimsy at its finest! #NamePower" This light-hearted observation encapsulates the playful curiosity that infuses our investigation and underscores the unexpected nature of our research question.

As we navigate the landscape of scholarly inquiry and playful pondering, our exploration into the correlation between the popularity of the name "Tristian" and hydropower energy in Thailand promises to unravel a tapestry of statistical merriment. Through the amalgamation of serious scholarship, imaginative literature, and digital banter, we prepare to embark on an intellectually refreshing expedition into the realm of statistical whimsy.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
In the whimsical world of statistical exploration, some research endeavors lead us down unexpected paths that bewilder and amuse. Our journey takes us to the enchanting land of Thailand, where the gurgling of hydropower energy intertwines with the rise and fall of a singular name – "Tristian." It is no small feat to ponder the correlation between the popularity of a given name and the hydroelectric potential of a nation, but as keen researchers, we tackle this waggish mystery with vigor and mirth.
The notion that the moniker "Tristian" could exert any influence over the generation of hydropower in Thailand may at first glance appear as preposterous as an engineer trying to use a rubber duck as a turbine model. However, as the adage in academia goes, "Correlation does not imply causation, but it sure is fun to speculate!" With this whimsical mindset, we set out to uncover a correlation that tickles the imagination and challenges traditional perspectives on statistical analysis.
Our investigation into this curiously quirky connection draws upon data from the US Social Security Administration, where we unearth the undulating wave of "Tristian" occurrences over the past four decades. On the other end of our enchanted spectrum, we delve into the depths of the Energy Information Administration’s reservoir of hydropower data in Thailand, where the captivating ebb and flow of renewable energy sources awaits our scrutiny.
While the world of research and statistics often demands solemnity, we embrace the opportunity to infuse our exploration with a touch of levity, recognizing that even the most seemingly absurd correlations can unveil remarkable insights. Join us as we embark on this merry chase into the realm of statistical banter, wherein the wit and puns flow as freely as the currents of hydropower. After all, why should the data have all the fun? So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelts – or better yet, your thinking caps – as we delve into the peculiar and punderful correlation between the popularity of the name "Tristian" and the hydropower energy generated in the land of smiles.

Correlation r = 0.7582669 (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 = 0.5749688 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 57.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Hydopower energy generated in Thailand) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Tristian) over the 42 years from 1980 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.02E-9. 0.0000000060178665889013720000
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 0.76 in 6.02E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 166,171,846 random variables You don't actually need 166 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 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.

[ 0.59, 0.86 ] 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.
