In their seminal work, Smith et al. (2018) shed light on the complex interplay between names and career trajectories, hinting at the potential influence of nomenclature on vocational choices. Expanding on this notion, Doe's (2016) comprehensive analysis illuminated the intricate bond between appellations and professional paths, providing the groundwork for our present inquiry into the alluring correlation between the first name Cruz and the awarding of associate degrees in transportation and materials moving.
Turning to the body of literature, "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri offers a fictional narrative that explores the significance of names and their impact on individual identities, mirroring the theme of our study in an unexpected literary twist. Furthermore, in "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, the protagonist's name, Holden Caulfield, plays a pivotal role in shaping the character's worldview, resonating with the undercurrent of our investigation into the influence of names on academic pursuits.
As we navigate this scholarly landscape, we must also consider the influence of board games such as "Ticket to Ride" and "TransAmerica," which, although unrelated to the specific focus of our research, infuse our academic endeavors with a whimsical reminder of the ubiquitous presence of transportation-related themes.
On a more serious note, "The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner presents a non-fiction exploration of happiness across various countries, subtly evoking the broader notion of movement and geographical exploration, albeit tangentially related to our current study.
As we weave through this tapestry of literature, it becomes evident that the fusion of serious inquiry and lighthearted introspection guides our path, paving the way for an academic exploration that is as informative as it is entertaining.

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 = 0.8719066 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Associates degrees awarded in Transportation) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Cruz) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.6E-5. 0.0000263491092047759780000000
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 0.93 in 0.0026% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 37,952 random variables You don't actually need 37 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 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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, 0.98 ] 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
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
