[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The connection between the popularity of the first name "Aja" and environmental factors has been a subject of interest, albeit not always serious consideration, within the scholarly community. Smith, in their seminal work "Names and Nonsense: Unconventional Correlations," explores the potential relationships between baby names and various social and environmental phenomena. They present a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic and cultural implications of non-traditional naming trends, delving into the humorous yet thought-provoking aspects of nomenclature-based correlations.

Doe, in "The Name Game: A Statistical Romp Through Appellations and Anomalies," further examines the curious interplay between names and unexpected patterns in societal and environmental dynamics. The author skillfully navigates through the whimsical landscape of nomenclature-related phenomena, offering insightful perspectives on the potential correlations and coincidences that flit seemingly unnoticed within the fabric of everyday life.

Jones, in their work "Monikers and Meteorology: An Unconventional Inquiry," takes a more lighthearted approach to exploring the intersection of nomenclature and atmospheric conditions. Their amusing yet compelling analysis of the quirky connections between names and environmental variables adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise serious discourse surrounding environmental research.

Moving beyond the scholarly realm, non-fiction works such as "The Air We Breathe: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Environmental Factors" and "Names and Numbers: Statistical Patterns in Everyday Life" provide valuable insights into the broader context of environmental influences on human existence and the potential interactions with seemingly unrelated variables, including nomenclature.

In the realm of fiction, books like "The Smoggy Adventures of Aja and the Air Quality Avengers" and "Name-ly Meteorological: A Tale of Weather-Infused Nomenclature" offer imaginative portrayals of the potential escapades and encounters related to the correlation between names and atmospheric conditions. While fictional in nature, these works playfully explore the whimsical possibilities and humorous scenarios that could arise from such unconventional correlations.

Taking a more unconventional approach to literature review, the researchers also considered sources of anecdotal and inadvertent data collection, including but not limited to overhearing conversations in coffee shops, engaging in casual discussions with quirky acquaintances, and, dare we say, perusing the enigmatic and often perplexing contents of CVS receipts. These unconventional sources, while possibly eyebrow-raising, contribute to the lighthearted and playful spirit of this inquiry into the unexpected relationship between the name "Aja" and air pollution levels in Toledo.

Simultaneously, diligent scraping and hoarding of datasets from the Environmental Protection Agency's archives captured the atmospheric intricacies of Toledo throughout the same period. Pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and the mischievous volatile organic compounds, were scrutinized with a keen eye, akin to a discerning examination of the nuances in a comedic performance.

After assembling this veritable smorgasbord of data, statistical analyses were harnessed to tease out any potential correlations between the popularity of the name "Aja" and the insidious embrace of air pollutants in Toledo's urban tapestry. Employing intricate regression models akin to an elaborate dance routine, the association between these seemingly unrelated elements was endeavored to be unearthed, aligning with the temerity of a comedian crafting a punchline.

Furthermore, the research team implemented time-series analysis to capture the temporal nuances of this captivating interplay. Fluctuations and trends were scrutinized with the scrutiny of a playful detective, delving into the whimsical temporal dynamics of name trends and atmospheric conditions. The correlation coefficient was then summoned forth from its mathematical abode, illuminating the strength and direction of the association between the prevalence of "Aja" and the whims of Toledo's air quality.

Notably, the potential influence of confounding factors, such as demographic shifts and urban development, was accounted for. These variables were prodded and interrogated with the charisma of a stand-up comedian, ensuring that our findings stood tall amidst the comedic chaos of statistical analysis.

In the end, the combination of these methodological antics culminated in the revelation of a remarkable correlation coefficient of 0.7976127, with a p-value that gleefully strutted beneath the vaunted threshold of 0.01. This playfully robust statistical evidence cemented the unexpected rapport between the popularity of the name "Aja" and the atmospheric whims of Toledo, inciting wry smiles and merry contemplation among the research team.

In summary, the methodology deftly navigated the realms of data collection, statistical analysis, and confounding variable considerations with a comedic flair, unraveling the peculiar correlation between nomenclature and atmospheric conditions that lay nestled within the confines of Toledo.

Correlation r = 0.7976127 (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 = 0.6361861 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 63.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air pollution in Toledo) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Aja) over the 43 years from 1980 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.5E-10. 0.0000000001525914571781511500
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 0.8 in 1.5E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 6,553,446,821 random variables You don't actually need 6 billion 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 42 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 42 because we have two variables measured over a period of 43 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.

[ 0.65, 0.89 ] 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.
