ChatGPT:
Theodore, Theodore, wherefore art thou Theodore? In the whimsical world of name popularity, there lies a hidden gem, a secret sauce, if you will, that could potentially unravel the enigmatic dance of stock prices. Our journey into this absurd but fascinating realm leads us to none other than—Centene Corporation (CNC). Like two star-crossed lovers in the world of data, the name "Theodore" and Centene's stock price seemingly tangle in an inexplicable waltz. This peculiar phenomenon has piqued our interest and prodded us to dig deep into the labyrinth of statistical correlations and tongue-in-cheek puns.
As Shakespeare once said, "What's in a name?" Well, in this case, it might just be the key to unlocking a Pandora's box of financial mysteries. Our academic escapade involves unraveling this peculiar entanglement by dissecting the fluctuating popularity of the moniker "Theodore" and its bizarre correlation with the stock prices of Centene Corporation. By blending the esoteric art of financial analysis with the sociolinguistic quirkiness of naming trends, we endeavor to shed light on this inconceivable connection—and perhaps crack a few jokes along the way.
In this intellectual carnival of curiosity, we march forward armed with extensive data from the US Social Security Administration on Theodore's frequency and immerse ourselves in the labyrinthine world of stock performance through LSEG Analytics. Our original assumptions were as sturdy as a house of cards in a gust of wind, yet the data left us with no choice but to stare wide-eyed at the significance of our findings. The striking correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 and a p-value less than 0.01 during the years 2002 to 2022 not only raised our eyebrows but also jolted our sense of rationality.
And so, dear reader, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the peculiar intersection of nomenclature and financial markets. As we venture forth, we invite you to join us in unpacking this seemingly ludicrous but undeniably intriguing correlation between Theodore's trend and Centene's stock. It's a bizarre tale of two seemingly unrelated entities coalescing, and we are on a quest to make sense of this truly improbable, Theo-retical impact.

Then name some real fiction books that sound like they could be related. Then devolve ever further, and mention something completely ridiculous, like you conducted literature review by reading CVS receipts.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In Smith's seminal work, "The Socioeconomic Implications of Name Popularity," the authors find a strong correlation between naming trends and societal perceptions of success. Meanwhile, Doe's comprehensive study, "The Influence of Names on Financial Markets," delves into the psychological impact of names on investor behavior, revealing fascinating insights into the subconscious biases that names can evoke.
Moving beyond the realm of traditional research, real-world examples in Kramer's "Stock Market Secrets Uncovered" and Warren Buffet's "The Tao of Wealth" seem to echo the mysterious connection between naming trends and stock performance, albeit in a more anecdotal and speculative manner.
Delving into the realm of fiction, Orwell's "1984" presents a dystopian world where the rise and fall of stock prices are dictated by the popularity of specific names. Likewise, Collins' "The Hunger Games" illustrates a society where stock prices are correlated with the frequency of certain names, albeit in a far more grim and dramatic context.
Beyond the conventional bounds of academic literature, the authors also stumbled upon a rather unorthodox source of information – the humble CVS receipt. Surprisingly, amidst the mundane details of grocery purchases and coupons, an obscure correlation between the purchase of Theodore-themed items and a temporary surge in Centene's stock prices was spotted. While skeptics may scoff at such unconventional data sources, the authors have not discounted the potential comedic value of encountering financial insights in the most unexpected of places.
In light of these unconventional findings and the wealth of literature residing at the intersection of nomenclature and financial markets, it becomes evident that the mysterious correlation between the popularity of the first name Theodore and Centene's stock price exudes a tantalizing aura of intrigue and absurdity.

Ah, the nitty-gritty details of our whimsical escapade! Our methodology, much like a magic potion brewed in a cauldron of eccentricity, combines the disciplines of data collection and analysis with a dash of offbeat humor. With a pinch of statistical rigor and a dollop of irreverence, we embarked on this unconventional journey to unravel the enigmatic connection between the popularity of the name Theodore and the stock prices of Centene Corporation.
Data Collection: Our quest for the fluctuations in the frequency of the name Theodore took us far and wide, but mostly to the enchanted realms of the US Social Security Administration. We gathered data on the frequency of the name Theodore from 2002 to 2022, meticulously tracking its rise and fall as if we were chasing the elusive unicorn of statistical trends. Our journey then led us to the mystical domain of LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), where we harvested the arcane stock performance data of Centene Corporation, symbolized by the enigmatic ticker symbol CNC.
Correlation Analysis: Armed with our trove of data, we summoned the spirits of correlation analysis to shed light on this unconventional liaison. With our trusty statistical tools in hand, we calculated correlation coefficients and p-values with the fervor of explorers charting uncharted territories. Our analysis, at times, resembled a chaotic dance of numbers and trend lines, akin to a group of cats trying to synchronize their movements. However, amidst the chaos, patterns emerged, revealing a stunning correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 and a p-value less than 0.01, leaving us bewildered and questioning the very fabric of reality.
Cross-Disciplinary Delving: In our unorthodox pursuit of academic truth, we blended the fields of sociolinguistics and financial analysis like a mad scientist concocting an elixir of curiosity. Our approach, much like a fusion cuisine experiment gone awry, combined the idiosyncrasies of naming trends with the erratic undulations of financial markets. This unconventional blend not only raised a few eyebrows but also invited skeptical gazes from the more traditional academics.
Gripping our data like a sailor clutching the mast in a sea of uncertainty, we ventured forth, navigating the turbulent waters of correlation, all the while keeping a weather eye out for serendipitous discoveries and unintentional puns. We unapologetically embraced this journey as an intellectual bungee jump into the vortex of uncharted territories, daring to unravel the Theo-retical impact that had hitherto eluded the gaze of academia and the investment community alike.

[[RESULTS]]
Our foray into the whimsical world of name popularity and stock price correlations has yielded some truly astounding results. We found a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 between the popularity of the first name "Theodore" and Centene Corporation's (CNC) stock price. This correlation also exhibited an impressive r-squared value of 0.9745764, indicating that a substantial proportion of the variability in CNC's stock price can be explained by the fluctuations in the frequency of the name "Theodore."
While we initially approached this research with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor, our findings have left us in awe of the peculiar connection between seemingly unrelated phenomena. It is as if the popularity of the name "Theodore" has been silently whispering in the ears of CNC's stock price, guiding its movements in the market.
The significance of this correlation was further underlined by the p-value, which was found to be less than 0.01. This suggests that the observed correlation between Theodore's trend and CNC's stock price is statistically significant and not merely a product of chance or randomness.
To visually capture the strength of this correlation, Fig. 1 presents a scatterplot that showcases the tight relationship between the frequency of the name "Theodore" and Centene's stock price over the years. The plot illustrates how these two seemingly disparate entities waltz in a harmonious rhythm, defying conventional expectations of what drives stock performance.
These findings not only add a touch of absurdity to the world of finance but also beckon us to contemplate the mysterious interplay between nomenclature and market dynamics. The seemingly Theo-retical impact of a name on stock prices has colored our understanding with a delightful tinge of unpredictability, leaving us in a state of bemused wonder.
In conclusion, our research uncovers a captivating correlation that piques the curiosity of both financial analysts and the linguistically inclined. We stand on the precipice of a realm where the whims of nomenclature and the vagaries of stock performance converge, ready to untangle the threads of this inexplicable connection and indulge in a few more puns along the way.

[[DISCUSSION]]
In this unconventional exploration of the Theo-retical impact of the name Theodore on Centene's stock price, our findings not only affirm but also amplify the enigmatic connection between nomenclature and market dynamics. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 and a p-value of less than 0.01, our results bolster the previous studies that hinted at the influence of names on investor behavior and stock performance.
Upon revisiting the literature review, we cannot help but take the seemingly whimsical and fictional references with a newfound earnestness. Orwell's "1984" and Collins' "The Hunger Games," once dismissed as fantastical narratives, now appear as eerily prescient visages of a world where the popularity of names wields an uncanny sway over financial markets. Equally striking is the mention of the CVS receipt, a comically unexpected source that mirrors our own findings, albeit in a more lighthearted context. It underscores the possibility of stumbling upon financial insights in the unlikeliest of places, a notion that carries a certain irresistible charm.
The whimsicality of our findings is emphasized by the visual portrayal of the correlation between the frequency of the name "Theodore" and Centene's stock price in Figure 1. The scatterplot captures the graceful dance of these seemingly incongruous entities, adding a surreal twist to the conventional understanding of stock market dynamics. It beckons us to question the age-old adage of "What's in a name?" and consider how a name can influence financial phenomena in ways that defy conventional logic.
While the connection between Theodore's popularity and CNC's stock price may seem ludicrous at first glance, the statistical significance of our results demands that we entertain the Theo-retical impact with a degree of earnest consideration. Our findings invite us to reflect on the mysterious ways in which linguistic phenomena might surreptitiously imprint themselves on the ebbs and flows of financial markets.
In light of these findings, the implications extend beyond the confines of traditional financial analysis. They prompt us to ponder the subtle yet profound ways in which human cognition, societal perceptions, and naming trends intertwine with the intricacies of market behavior. As we stand at the precipice of this captivating correlation, our curiosity is piqued, and we are left with the delightful task of further untangling the threads of this Theo-Retrical enigma.

The Theo-Retrical Impact: Unveiling the Correlation between Theodore's Trend and Centene's Stock
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we embark on a peculiar journey to decipher the inexplicable connection between the popularity of the name Theodore and the stock price of Centene Corporation (CNC). With a blend of financial analysis and sociolinguistics, we evaluated the fluctuations in the frequency of the name Theodore using data from the US Social Security Administration and delved into Centene's stock performance through LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv). To our surprise, our research revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 and a p-value less than 0.01 during the years 2002 to 2022. Our findings not only raise eyebrows but also open up a world of intriguing possibilities linking the naming trends with the financial markets. This study not only sheds light on the whims of nomenclature but also tickles the curious minds of the investing community.
[[INTRDUCTION]]
Theodore, Theodore, wherefore art thou Theodore? In the whimsical world of name popularity, there lies a hidden gem, a secret sauce, if you will, that could potentially unravel the enigmatic dance of stock prices. Our journey into this absurd but fascinating realm leads us to none other than—Centene Corporation (CNC). Like two star-crossed lovers in the world of data, the name "Theodore" and Centene's stock price seemingly tangle in an inexplicable waltz. This peculiar phenomenon has piqued our interest and prodded us to dig deep into the labyrinth of statistical correlations and tongue-in-cheek puns.
As Shakespeare once said, "What's in a name?" Well, in this case, it might just be the key to unlocking a Pandora's box of financial mysteries. Our academic escapade involves unraveling this peculiar entanglement by dissecting the fluctuating popularity of the moniker "Theodore" and its bizarre correlation with the stock prices of Centene Corporation. By blending the esoteric art of financial analysis with the sociolinguistic quirkiness of naming trends, we endeavor to shed light on this inconceivable connection—and perhaps crack a few jokes along the way.
In this intellectual carnival of curiosity, we march forward armed with extensive data from the US Social Security Administration on Theodore's frequency and immerse ourselves in the labyrinthine world of stock performance through LSEG Analytics. Our original assumptions were as sturdy as a house of cards in a gust of wind, yet the data left us with no choice but to stare wide-eyed at the significance of our findings. The striking correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 and a p-value less than 0.01 during the years 2002 to 2022 not only raised our eyebrows but also jolted our sense of rationality.
And so, dear reader, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the peculiar intersection of nomenclature and financial markets. As we venture forth, we invite you to join us in unpacking this seemingly ludicrous but undeniably intriguing correlation between Theodore's trend and Centene's stock. It's a bizarre tale of two seemingly unrelated entities coalescing, and we are on a quest to make sense of this truly improbable, Theo-retical impact.
[[RESULTS]]
Our foray into the whimsical world of name popularity and stock price correlations has yielded some truly astounding results. We found a remarkably high correlation coefficient of 0.9872064 between the popularity of the first name "Theodore" and Centene Corporation's (CNC) stock price. This correlation also exhibited an impressive r-squared value of 0.9745764, indicating that a substantial proportion of the variability in CNC's stock price can be explained by the fluctuations in the frequency of the name "Theodore."
While we initially approached this research with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor, our findings have left us in awe of the peculiar connection between seemingly unrelated phenomena. It is as if the popularity of the name "Theodore" has been silently whispering in the ears of CNC's stock price, guiding its movements in the market.
The significance of this correlation was further underlined by the p-value, which was found to be less than 0.01. This suggests that the observed correlation between Theodore's trend and CNC's stock price is statistically significant and not merely a product of chance or randomness.
To visually capture the strength of this correlation, Fig. 1 presents a scatterplot that showcases the tight relationship between the frequency of the name "Theodore" and Centene's stock price over the years. The plot illustrates how these two seemingly disparate entities waltz in a harmonious rhythm, defying conventional expectations of what drives stock performance.
These findings not only add a touch of absurdity to the world of finance but also beckon us to contemplate the mysterious interplay between nomenclature and market dynamics. The seemingly Theo-retical impact of a name on stock prices has colored our understanding with a delightful tinge of unpredictability, leaving us in a state of bemused wonder.
In conclusion, our research uncovers a captivating correlation that piques the curiosity of both financial analysts and the linguistically inclined. We stand on the precipice of a realm where the whims of nomenclature and the vagaries of stock performance converge, ready to untangle the threads of this inexplicable connection and indulge in a few more puns along the way.

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 = 0.9745764 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Centene's stock price (CNC)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Theodore) over the 21 years from 2002 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-16. 0.0000000000000001293161454137
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-14% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 7,732,986,448,063,878 random variables You don't actually need 7 quadrillion 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 20 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 20 because we have two variables measured over a period of 21 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, 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.
