[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al. (2020)," the authors delve into the cultural significance of infant names and their potential influence on career paths. They argue that the choice of a baby's name may unwittingly set them on a particular professional trajectory, citing anecdotal evidence of individuals with names like "Archer" pursuing careers in archery or "Hazel" excelling in forestry-related fields. While their study primarily focuses on broader occupational trends, the implications for the specific field of set and exhibit design cannot be overlooked.

Building upon this foundation, Doe and Jones (2018) explore the psychological impact of names on individuals' self-perception and aspirations. They propose that individuals may subconsciously be drawn to professions that resonate with the phonetic or semantic elements of their own names. For instance, the allure of "Rose" could steer an individual towards careers involving floral arrangements, while the resonance of "Sky" may inspire a penchant for scenic design. It is within this context that we investigate the potential influence of infant names on the number of set and exhibit designers in New Jersey.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, our literature review also encompasses non-conventional sources to truly grasp the depth of this peculiar correlation. In "The Name Book" by Dorothy Astoria, the intricate meanings and historical roots of names are revealed, shedding light on the subconscious currents that may guide individuals towards particular professions. Additionally, "The Baby Name Wizard" by Laura Wattenberg offers an engaging exploration of naming trends and their potential impact on future endeavors, providing a springboard for our unconventional inquiry.

Taking an even more imaginative leap, the fictitious realm offers intriguing insights into the potential connection between infant names and creative vocations. In J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, characters like Remus Lupin and Sirius Black exemplify the inherent linkage between personal names and professions, as their names subtly reflect their roles within the wizarding world. Similarly, in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, the family names of the characters conjure images of their ancestral domains, igniting our curiosity about the potential influence of names on career paths in the medieval settings evoked by such literature.

To truly immerse ourselves in the world of infant names, we drew inspiration from the colorful and whimsical universe of children's shows and cartoons. The likes of "Sesame Street," with characters bearing names like Elmo and Rosita, illuminate the potential impact of names on the development of young minds. Meanwhile, the animated wonders of "Paw Patrol," featuring pups with names like Chase and Skye, offer a light-hearted lens through which to view the potential connections between names and future pursuits.

As we wade through this kaleidoscope of literature and media, one cannot help but marvel at the unexpected synergies between the seemingly disparate realms of nomenclature trends and professional pathways. With a nod to both the serious and the whimsical, we embark on our statistical odyssey, poised to unravel the enchanting associations between infant names and the world of set and exhibit designers in New Jersey.

Correlation r = 0.9047022 (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 = 0.8184860 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 81.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of set and exhibit designers in New Jersey) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Infant) over the 19 years from 2003 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.05E-7. 0.0000001046209095607920800000
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 0.9 in 1.05E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 9,558,319 random variables You don't actually need 9 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 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 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, 0.96 ] 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.
