AI explanation
As the name Arthur gained popularity, more people began referencing the legendary tale of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. This resurgence in interest led to a spike in sword production, creating a higher demand for steel. This, in turn, prompted Thailand to ramp up its wind power generation to meet the growing need for electricity in the global steel industry. After all, it's no coincidence that the legendary sword Excalibur was said to have been forged with otherworldly powers - clearly, Thailand saw the potential for a new era of renewable energy with a touch of Arthurian legend!

The study of correlations between seemingly unrelated phenomena has long fascinated researchers, leading them down whimsical and unexpected paths. In the realm of nomenclature and renewable energy, our investigation delves into the intriguing connection between the popularity of the first name Arthur and wind power generation in the tropical haven of Thailand. While many may scoff at the notion of such a seemingly ludicrous association, we cherish the peculiar and the peculiar often rewards our pursuit with fascinating discoveries – or at the very least, a good laugh.
The whimsical hypothesis underlying this investigation sprouted from a chance conversation over coffee, where one of the researchers mused, “Wouldn't it be amusing if there were a correlation between the gusts of wind and the gusts of whispers of the name Arthur?” Thus, in the spirit of scientific inquiry and a healthy dose of curiosity, we embarked on this scholarly adventure to probe the mysterious ties that may bind the moniker 'Arthur' and the ethereal dance of wind turbines.
Unraveling the enigma begins with an exploration of the data sources at our disposal. We utilized the comprehensive records of the US Social Security Administration to track the frequency of the name Arthur from 1998 to 2021, establishing a robust foundation for our investigation. Aligning this lexical pursuit with the energetically charged world of sustainable power, we turned to the Energy Information Administration's data on wind power generation in Thailand, seeking to capture the ebb and flow of wind-driven electricity production.
As stalwart proponents of methodological rigor, we employed a correlational analysis to dissect the datasets, fully cognizant of the potential pitfalls and the serendipitous surprises that awaited us. What emerged from this statistical scrutiny is nothing short of astounding – a correlation coefficient of 0.9689367, accompanied by a p-value of less than 0.01, signaling a robust and statistically significant relationship.
Our findings beckon the astute mind to ponder the transcendental connections that may sway the winds of change, even in the realm of nomenclature. While we tread cautiously in attributing causality to this unexpected harmony, the enduring resonance of Arthur's popularity and wind's generative prowess refuses to be dismissed as mere happenstance.
In the words of renowned author Douglas Adams, "Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all." Thus, we invite our esteemed colleagues and discerning readers to join us in unpacking the whimsical web of connections that defy conventional expectations, fostering a scientific curiosity that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary.

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 = 0.9388383 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Wind power generated in Thailand) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Arthur) over the 24 years from 1998 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.8E-15. 0.0000000000000077553611941257
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 0.97 in 7.8E-13% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 128,943,059,513,134 random variables You don't actually need 128 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 23 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 23 because we have two variables measured over a period of 24 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.
[ 0.93, 0.99 ] 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. - Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
