[[INTRODUCTION]]
Welcome, cosmic wanderers and statistical stargazers, to our saga of the "Phoebenomenon," where we embark on a mission to unravel the enigmatic connection between the popularity of the heavenly name Phoebe and the earthly occupation of aerospace engineering in Utah. While many may raise an eyebrow and ponder, "What in the name of Newton's apple pie is this about?" we assure you that our findings are as intriguing as a black hole's event horizon.
In this jocular journey through the celestial and terrestrial realms of data science, we aim to shed light on the astonishing correlation between the ebb and flow of Phoebes and aerospace engineers. Picture this: as Phoebes wax and wane in popularity, so do the numbers of aerospace engineers in the Beehive State; a statistical ballet that would make Galileo do a celestial double-take.
Our investigation takes flight with data collected from the US Social Security Administration, where the frequency of "Phoebe" sightings was tabulated alongside the Bureau of Labor Statistics' records of aerospace engineering employment in Utah. Embarking on this cosmic quest, we uncovered a correlation coefficient that could rival the laws of thermodynamics – a potent 0.8547835 with a p-value less than 0.01, signifying a gravitational tug between the variables more forceful than a planet orbiting its star.
But before you dismiss our findings as statistical shenanigans or mere coincidence, we ask you to consider this: the celestial body, Phoebe, might just be exercising its gravitational pull on unsuspecting career choices in the aerospace industry. Who would have thought that the name Phoebe could wield such astrological influence on Utah's aerospace engineers? It's as if the cosmos conspired to name-drop its celestial prowess in the earthly realm of workforce demographics.
So, dear readers, fasten your seatbelts as we navigate the asteroid belt of statistical anomalies and peek behind the cosmic curtain at this "out-of-this-world" relationship. Our data may present a puzzle that even the sphinx of statistical analysis would find baffling, but we invite you to join us in this astronomical adventure. The implications of our startling findings promise to propel us into uncharted celestial territories, where the name Phoebe echoes through the cosmos and the aerospace dreams of Utah engineers take flight.

While these studies lay a solid foundation for understanding the broader context of celestial influences, our investigation takes a whimsical leap into the specific case of the name Phoebe and its improbable correlation with the aerospace engineering workforce in Utah.
Turning to non-fiction works that indirectly touch upon the cosmic thread we are unraveling, "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene and "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan offer compelling insights into the interconnectedness of cosmic phenomena and human experiences. Although their primary focus is on the scientific aspects of the universe, we dare not underestimate the ripple effect of celestial names on earthly affairs.
In parallel, the fictional realm presents its own reflections of celestial themes and serendipitous connections. Works such as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams and "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, while not directly related to our investigation, humorously illuminate the whimsical and unpredictable nature of cosmic phenomena, challenging us to embrace the absurd and the improbable.
Drawing inspiration from the realm of board games, "Cosmic Encounter" and "Terraforming Mars" enliven our contemplation of celestial forces and their potential influence on human endeavors, albeit in a playful and fictional context.
In our pursuit of untangling the "Phoebenomenon," these diverse sources buoy our spirits and invite us to approach the perplexing correlation with a blend of scholarly gravitas and cosmic whimsy.
As we venture deeper into the celestial labyrinth of empirical exploration, let us remember that amid the stars and statistical constellations, the improbable may yet prove to be the impossible-turned-inevitable.

In parallel, we delved deep into the cosmic rolls of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, aiming to quantify the flux and flow of aerospace engineers in the starry state of Utah. Armed with spreadsheets and statistical incantations, our mission was clear: measure the magnitudes of aerospace aspirations amidst the celestial reverberations of Phoebe's popularity.
Now, here comes the tricky part – the statistical marvel that would spark joy in the heart of any data sleuth. We meticulously calculated the correlation coefficient between Phoebe frequencies and aerospace engineering employment in Utah, yielding a celestial symphony of 0.8547835. This statistical score had us grinning like Cheshire cats, for it indicated a strong gravitational pull between the variables, comparable to the cosmic forces shaping planetary orbits.
But before we raise our telescopes in triumph, we must confront the possibility of lurking confounding variables and statistical specters. To ward off these statistical ghouls, we subjected our findings to rigorous regression analysis and hypothesis testing, ensuring that our cosmic correlation remained robust even in the face of celestial confounders.
In the end, our methodology emerges as a planetary dance of data mining, statistical calculations, and a dash of celestial whimsy. While the Phoebenomenon may defy the conventional laws of causality, our methodology remains staunchly grounded in the principles of scientific inquiry, blending rigorous statistical analyses with cosmic curiosity and a sprinkle of stardust.

While these studies lay a solid foundation for understanding the broader context of celestial influences, our investigation takes a whimsical leap into the specific case of the name Phoebe and its improbable correlation with the aerospace engineering workforce in Utah.
Turning to non-fiction works that indirectly touch upon the cosmic thread we are unraveling, "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene and "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan offer compelling insights into the interconnectedness of cosmic phenomena and human experiences. Although their primary focus is on the scientific aspects of the universe, we dare not underestimate the ripple effect of celestial names on earthly affairs.
In parallel, the fictional realm presents its own reflections of celestial themes and serendipitous connections. Works such as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams and "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, while not directly related to our investigation, humorously illuminate the whimsical and unpredictable nature of cosmic phenomena, challenging us to embrace the absurd and the improbable.
Drawing inspiration from the realm of board games, "Cosmic Encounter" and "Terraforming Mars" enliven our contemplation of celestial forces and their potential influence on human endeavors, albeit in a playful and fictional context.
In our pursuit of untangling the "Phoebenomenon," these diverse sources buoy our spirits and invite us to approach the perplexing correlation with a blend of scholarly gravitas and cosmic whimsy.
As we venture deeper into the celestial labyrinth of empirical exploration, let us remember that amid the stars and statistical constellations, the improbable may yet prove to be the impossible-turned-inevitable.

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 = 0.7306549 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 73.1% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of aerospace engineers in Utah) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Phoebe) over the 17 years from 2003 through 2019.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.2E-5. 0.0000123913511645366390000000
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 0.85 in 0.0012% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 80,701 random variables You don't actually need 80 thousand 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 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 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.
[ 0.64, 0.95 ] 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. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
