AI explanation

As the name Parker gained popularity, it led to an influx of individuals with a secret talent for nuclear physics relocating to Romania. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, there exists a highly exclusive underground society of Parkers who possess a natural affinity for all things nuclear. In a bizarre twist of fate, these Parkers found themselves drawn to the opportunity to revolutionize Romania's power generation. It seems that when it comes to nuclear energy, the Parkers have an uncanny ability to... wait for it... park electrons in just the right orbit! As more and more parents embraced the name Parker for their children, little did they realize that they were unwittingly contributing to Romania's unexpected rise in nuclear prowess. Who would have thought that a seemingly innocuous baby name trend could hold the key to unlocking the next generation of nuclear power? It just goes to show that when Parkers are involved, the nuclear possibilities are positively...unpredictable!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The literature surrounding the interplay between personal nomenclature and industrial dynamics is as diverse as it is extensive. Initial inquiries into the potential influence of first names on large-scale industrial phenomena have often been met with skepticism. However, as our investigation into the intriguing connection between the prevalence of the first name "Parker" and nuclear power generation in Romania unfolds, we find ourselves at the nexus of unexpected correlations and statistical whimsy.

Smith et al. (2015) explored the impact of personal names on societal interactions, highlighting the psychological nuances and sociocultural implications of nomenclature. The authors discerned an intriguing pattern suggesting the potential for names to influence occupational choices and professional trajectories. They candidly noted, "One can't help but wonder if 'Parker' exudes a silent yet pervasive influence on the trajectory of the nuclear energy sector in Romania."

Doe and Jones (2018) delved into the intersection of personal nomenclature and industrial infrastructure, postulating the existence of latent connections that defy conventional wisdom. Their work illuminated the subtle interplay between personal identity and professional domains, prompting contemplation of the underappreciated role of first names in shaping societal constructs. "Perhaps 'Parker' wields an unforeseen gravitational pull on the nuclear power landscape, steering it toward uncharted potentials," they conjectured.

Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" indirectly hints at the clandestine forces at play, with its timeless depiction of the influence of names and family affiliations on destiny. Similar thematic exploration can be found in Steinbeck's "East of Eden," where the characters' names serve as signposts of their fates. "Parker's influence may extend beyond personal realms, intertwining with the tapestry of national energy infrastructure," the authors subtly muse.

Deviation from traditional scholarly discourse leads us to ponder the influence of more unconventional sources. The occasionally overlooked yet indispensable literary work, "The Joy of Cooking," proposes an unexpected analogy, likening the vibrant interplay of personal nomenclature and industrial dynamics to the harmonious fusion of culinary ingredients. "Just as the right blend of seasonings can transform a dish, could the prevalence of 'Parker' flavor the nuclear power sector with an unexpected zest?" the author provocatively muses.

Plot twist! Accompanying our scholarly perusal, we noticed striking parallels between the trends in the prevalence of the name "Parker" and the font size distribution on CVS receipts. Although seemingly unrelated, this fortuitous discovery sheds a humorous light on the inherent unpredictability of correlations and invites a whimsical juxtaposition of personal nomenclature, industrial forces, and the mundanity of consumer records.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The literature surrounding the interplay between personal nomenclature and industrial dynamics is as diverse as it is extensive. Initial inquiries into the potential influence of first names on large-scale industrial phenomena have often been met with skepticism. However, as our investigation into the intriguing connection between the prevalence of the first name "Parker" and nuclear power generation in Romania unfolds, we find ourselves at the nexus of unexpected correlations and statistical whimsy.
Smith et al. (2015) explored the impact of personal names on societal interactions, highlighting the psychological nuances and sociocultural implications of nomenclature. The authors discerned an intriguing pattern suggesting the potential for names to influence occupational choices and professional trajectories. They candidly noted, "One can't help but wonder if 'Parker' exudes a silent yet pervasive influence on the trajectory of the nuclear energy sector in Romania."
Doe and Jones (2018) delved into the intersection of personal nomenclature and industrial infrastructure, postulating the existence of latent connections that defy conventional wisdom. Their work illuminated the subtle interplay between personal identity and professional domains, prompting contemplation of the underappreciated role of first names in shaping societal constructs. "Perhaps 'Parker' wields an unforeseen gravitational pull on the nuclear power landscape, steering it toward uncharted potentials," they conjectured.
Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" indirectly hints at the clandestine forces at play, with its timeless depiction of the influence of names and family affiliations on destiny. Similar thematic exploration can be found in Steinbeck's "East of Eden," where the characters' names serve as signposts of their fates. "Parker's influence may extend beyond personal realms, intertwining with the tapestry of national energy infrastructure," the authors subtly muse.
Deviation from traditional scholarly discourse leads us to ponder the influence of more unconventional sources. The occasionally overlooked yet indispensable literary work, "The Joy of Cooking," proposes an unexpected analogy, likening the vibrant interplay of personal nomenclature and industrial dynamics to the harmonious fusion of culinary ingredients. "Just as the right blend of seasonings can transform a dish, could the prevalence of 'Parker' flavor the nuclear power sector with an unexpected zest?" the author provocatively muses.
Plot twist! Accompanying our scholarly perusal, we noticed striking parallels between the trends in the prevalence of the name "Parker" and the font size distribution on CVS receipts. Although seemingly unrelated, this fortuitous discovery sheds a humorous light on the inherent unpredictability of correlations and invites a whimsical juxtaposition of personal nomenclature, industrial forces, and the mundanity of consumer records.

Correlation r = 0.9371565 (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 = 0.8782623 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.8% 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 Parker) over the 26 years from 1996 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.8E-12. 0.0000000000018126446300911126
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 0.94 in 1.8E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 551,680,116,113 random variables You don't actually need 551 billion 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.

[ 0.86, 0.97 ] 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.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
