[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

As we delve into the depths of this unconventional research topic, we begin by examining existing literature that may shed light on the potential connection between the popularity of the first name "Romeo" and the generation of nuclear power in Romania. Smith, Doe, and Jones (2015) conducted a comprehensive analysis of naming trends and their unexpected correlations with various societal phenomena. Their work, while not directly focused on nuclear power, provides a framework for our exploration of the influence of names on seemingly unrelated factors.

Turning to the realm of popular culture and non-fiction literature, "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner offers an engaging perspective on the surprising connections that underpin everyday occurrences. While their book may not touch specifically on Romanian nuclear power or first names, its approach to uncovering unconventional relationships is particularly relevant to our offbeat investigation. Additionally, "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg provides insights into how seemingly insignificant factors can exert a substantial impact on societal patterns, a concept that resonates with our examination of naming trends and nuclear power generation.

In the fictional domain, works such as "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss offer literary contexts for the significance of names and their potential to influence destinies. While the former is a timeless tale of tragic love, the latter delves into the magical power of names, both of which parallel our exploration of the potential impact of the name "Romeo" on nuclear power generation in Romania. Indeed, the parallels between romantic tragedy and nuclear energy production may prove to be as compelling as they are unexpected.

Shifting to internet memes, the "Nuclear Romeo" phenomenon, originating from a viral video of a nuclear reactor dubbed "Romeo" due to its dramatic emissions, has captivated online audiences with its unexpected fusion of nuclear power and romantic nomenclature. While initially a humorous take on the juxtaposition of these disparate elements, this viral meme has unexpectedly piqued our interest in exploring the potential serendipitous connections between the name "Romeo" and nuclear power output in Romania.

In summary, while the existing literature does not directly address the intriguing correlation we aim to investigate, it provides valuable insights into the unanticipated interplay between seemingly unrelated factors. Combined with our light-hearted and whimsical approach, this literature review sets the stage for our playful yet incisive exploration of the relationship between the first name "Romeo" and nuclear power generation in Romania.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To embark on this unexpectedly delightful investigation, we first collected data from the US Social Security Administration to quantify the popularity of the enchanting name "Romeo" in the United States from 1996 to 2021. The data was retrieved from the Social Security Administration's "Popular Baby Names" database, which appeals to our fondness for both statistics and endearing monikers. Unsurprisingly, the frequency of the name "Romeo" exhibited fluctuations over the years, much like the ebbs and flows of a romantic sonnet.

Next, to unravel the mystique of nuclear power generation in Romania, we turned to the Energy Information Administration's comprehensive dataset. The nuclear power generation data from Romania, covering the same time period of 1996 to 2021, provided us with a glimpse into the country's energetic endeavors. Like a well-crafted play, this data held the potential for unexpected twists and dramatic revelations.

To establish the connection between the popularity of the name "Romeo" and Romania's nuclear power output, we employed sophisticated statistical techniques. Utilizing Pearson's correlation coefficient, we sought to discern whether there was a captivating relationship between the two disparate elements. Additionally, we conducted a series of robust regression analyses to tease out any potential confounding factors that could sway the results and potentially cloud our beguiling findings.

In the spirit of Shakespearean drama, we mustered a collection of covariates such as time trends, economic indicators, and even the average length of love letters exchanged in Verona during the 16th century to ensure the robustness of our analysis. Our team of researches pondered and debated over the ideal combination of covariates, cunningly devising a model that could unravel the mysterious entanglement of name popularity and nuclear power generation in the Romanian context.

Our methodology, much like a well-choreographed ballet, was a careful blend of precision and flair, aiming to capture the essence of the seemingly incongruous yet compelling relationship under scrutiny. As our methods embraced the whimsy and wonder of this investigation, we remained mindful of the need for meticulousness in our statistical dance, endeavoring to extract meaningful insights from the dance of data points and befittingly curious correlations.

With this enchanting approach, we sought to infuse the traditionally austere world of academic research with a dash of playfulness and unanticipated connections, recognizing that sometimes the most enchanting discoveries come from exploring the unlikeliest of pairings.

Correlation r = 0.9453129 (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 = 0.8936164 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 89.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Nuclear power generation in Romania) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Romeo) over the 26 years from 1996 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.6E-13. 0.0000000000003566676697920598
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 0.95 in 3.6E-11% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,803,730,432,262 random variables You don't actually need 2 trillion 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 25 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 25 because we have two variables measured over a period of 26 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.

[ 0.88, 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

  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.
