[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith (2010) found a marked correlation between the popularity of given names and various socio-economic indicators, sparking curiosity in the research community about the potential implications of this seemingly trivial aspect of individual identity. Doe and Jones (2015) echoed these sentiments, highlighting the need to explore the underappreciated influence of nomenclature on consumer behaviors and market trends.

However, as we segue into less conventional sources, it becomes evident that the literature examining the connection between the popularity of the first name "Walker" and Monolithic Power Systems' stock price (MPWR) is as sparse as a barren wasteland. Perhaps this dearth of scholarly inquiry stems from the sheer novelty of such a preposterous link.

Turning to non-fiction books, Anika Rothschild's "Name It and Claim It: The Power of Nomenclature in Economics" and Xavier Grey's "The Surname Stock Index: Uncovering Familial Ties to Financial Fortunes" offer intriguing, if not entirely pertinent, insights into the potential impact of names on economic phenomena. In a similar vein, Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers: The Story of Success" delves into unconventional factors that contribute to exceptional achievements, gesturing towards the unforeseen influence of seemingly irrelevant variables.

On a more whimsical note, J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" allude to the fantastical power of names and titles, albeit within the context of fictional universes. While not strictly academic, these works offer a tangential glimpse into the allure of nomenclature and its uncanny ability to captivate the human imagination.

In a surprising twist, social media platforms have also become unexpected repositories of anecdotal evidence regarding the titular matter. A tweet by @StockSorcerer proclaims, "Investors named Walker holding monolithic stocks – coincidence? I think not." While lacking the scholarly rigor of peer-reviewed literature, such informal observations underscore the pervasive fascination with the notion of names exerting inexplicable influence over financial assets.

As we immerse ourselves in this hodgepodge of sources, it becomes patently clear that the relationship between the popularity of the name "Walker" and MPWR's stock price is a confounding enigma that continues to defy conventional research paradigms.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To commence this whimsical quest into the enigmatic connection between the name "Walker" and Monolithic Power Systems' stock price, our research team embarked on a convoluted data collection odyssey across the vast expanse of the internet. The data expedition led us to the hallowed halls of the US Social Security Administration, where the popularity of first names is painstakingly cataloged. Additionally, we traversed the labyrinthine corridors of LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), where financial data dwells in abundance.

Our intrepid journey through the digital wilderness yielded a treasure trove of information spanning the years 2005 to 2022. The frequency of the first name "Walker" was meticulously tabulated, and Monolithic Power Systems' stock price fluctuations were fervently tracked. No stone was left unturned in this pursuit of the improbable link between nomenclature and market dynamics.

Now, to shed a dash of methodological rigor on our escapade, let us delve into the technical intricacies that underpinned our data analysis. Firstly, the frequency of the name "Walker" was subjected to rigorous time-series analysis, teasing out its ebbs and flows across the years. Concurrently, the stock price of Monolithic Power Systems underwent meticulous scrutiny through sophisticated econometric modeling, incorporating time series forecasting and trend analysis.

In a bid to unravel the tangled web of causation and correlation, we employed a series of statistical tests and techniques, including but not limited to, Pearson's correlation, Granger causality, and cointegration analysis. These analytical tools, though wielded with scholarly aplomb, could not help but evoke a sense of whimsy in their application to such an unorthodox research endeavor.

Next, to capture the essence of this peculiar association in all its statistical glory, we calculated a correlation coefficient that left even the most seasoned researchers gobsmacked. Lo and behold, the resulting correlation coefficient of 0.9887099 sent ripples of incredulity through our research enclave. Furthermore, to appease the quantitative gods and satisfy scholarly convention, we ascertained a significance level of p < 0.01, affirming the robustness of this outlandish link.

In this fashion, armed with a blend of statistical rigor and a healthy dose of academic mirth, we unearthed the treasure trove of data revealing the inexplicable rapport between "Walker" and MPWR's stock price. Our methodological odyssey, though unconventional, not only fortifies the veracity of our findings but also injects an element of whimsy into the often austere realm of academic inquiry.

Correlation r = 0.9887099 (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 = 0.9775473 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Monolithic Power Systems' stock price (MPWR)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Walker) over the 18 years from 2005 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-14. 0.0000000000000128124801759589
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 0.99 in 1.3E-12% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 78,048,901,248,361 random variables You don't actually need 78 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 17 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 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.

[ 0.97, 1 ] 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.
