ChatGPT:
INTRODUCTION

The relationship between a person's name and their future prospects has long been a source of fascination and bemusement for scholars and laypeople alike. While the influence of a moniker on an individual's fate has been a subject of much debate, the potential impact of name popularity on broader societal phenomena has received relatively little attention. In this study, we undertake an exploration of the curious nexus between the prevalence of the first name "Demi" and the generation of biomass power in the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka.

The lively etymology of names has captured the imaginations of researchers across various disciplines, from sociology to psychology and beyond. The notion that a name could hold sway over events and trends seems almost folkloric in nature, yet our analysis seeks to bring a touch of empirical rigor to this whimsical area of inquiry.

As we embark on this scholarly expedition, it is essential to approach the subject matter with a healthy dose of gravitas, acknowledging the rib-tickling intrigue that underpins this investigation. While the gravitas is crucial, we must not lose sight of the delightfully unexpected connections that may surface as we traverse the data landscape.

On the surface, the association between the popularity of a specific name and the generation of biomass power may appear arbitrary or even capricious. However, delving into such peculiar correlations is the hallmark of scientific inquiry, where the pursuit of knowledge often leads us down uncharted paths, uncovering surprising and, dare I say, amusing revelations along the way.

Our investigation aims to contribute to the nascent field of onomastics, which grapples with the study of names and their origins, evolution, and societal impact. Furthermore, this study endeavors to provide a lighthearted yet insightful examination of the Demi-namics that may be at play in the context of sustainable energy practices in Sri Lanka.

In the subsequent sections, we will methodically unpack the data, elucidating the statistical contours of the Demi-namics phenomenon while maintaining a decorous tone befitting scholarly discourse. Yet, let us not forget to savor the delightful irony and unexpected serendipity that may accompany our deep dive into the confluence of nomenclature and renewable energy trends.

These studies offer a robust framework, albeit indirectly, for navigating the intersection of names and renewable energy trends, as we endeavor to do in this inquiry.

Moving to the realm of non-fiction literature, "The Power of Names" by Johnson (2018) presents a compelling examination of the psychological and social implications of names, offering broader insights into the potential ripple effects of nomenclature on societal constructs. In a similar vein, "The Energy Chronicles" by Thompson (2019) offers a detailed exploration of global energy trends, providing a contextual backdrop for our investigation into biomass power generation in Sri Lanka.

Stepping into the realm of fiction, the works of Dan Brown, particularly "Inferno" and "The Da Vinci Code," indirectly touch upon the influence of individual names on historical events and the interpretation of symbolism, albeit in a more conspiratorial context. The intricate intertwining of individual names and grand societal narratives in these novels sparks contemplation about the potential ripple effects of seemingly innocuous nomenclature.

Furthermore, movies such as "Name of the Rose" and "The Power of One" offer insightful (albeit fictional) glimpses into the unseen powers of individual names and their potential impact on broader themes, echoing the spirited thread of inquiry that underpins our exploration of the Demi-namics phenomenon in Sri Lanka.

The diverse array of literature provides a thought-provoking tapestry of perspectives, underscoring the tantalizingly complex tapestry of human nomenclature and its potential interplay with sustainable energy practices.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
INTRODUCTION
The relationship between a person's name and their future prospects has long been a source of fascination and bemusement for scholars and laypeople alike. While the influence of a moniker on an individual's fate has been a subject of much debate, the potential impact of name popularity on broader societal phenomena has received relatively little attention. In this study, we undertake an exploration of the curious nexus between the prevalence of the first name "Demi" and the generation of biomass power in the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka.
The lively etymology of names has captured the imaginations of researchers across various disciplines, from sociology to psychology and beyond. The notion that a name could hold sway over events and trends seems almost folkloric in nature, yet our analysis seeks to bring a touch of empirical rigor to this whimsical area of inquiry.
As we embark on this scholarly expedition, it is essential to approach the subject matter with a healthy dose of gravitas, acknowledging the rib-tickling intrigue that underpins this investigation. While the gravitas is crucial, we must not lose sight of the delightfully unexpected connections that may surface as we traverse the data landscape.
On the surface, the association between the popularity of a specific name and the generation of biomass power may appear arbitrary or even capricious. However, delving into such peculiar correlations is the hallmark of scientific inquiry, where the pursuit of knowledge often leads us down uncharted paths, uncovering surprising and, dare I say, amusing revelations along the way.
Our investigation aims to contribute to the nascent field of onomastics, which grapples with the study of names and their origins, evolution, and societal impact. Furthermore, this study endeavors to provide a lighthearted yet insightful examination of the Demi-namics that may be at play in the context of sustainable energy practices in Sri Lanka.
In the subsequent sections, we will methodically unpack the data, elucidating the statistical contours of the Demi-namics phenomenon while maintaining a decorous tone befitting scholarly discourse. Yet, let us not forget to savor the delightful irony and unexpected serendipity that may accompany our deep dive into the confluence of nomenclature and renewable energy trends.

Correlation r = 0.9756729 (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 = 0.9519375 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 95.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Biomass power generated in Sri Lanka) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Demi) over the 17 years from 2005 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.7E-11. 0.0000000000268919584117123570
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 0.98 in 2.7E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 37,185,837,665 random variables You don't actually need 37 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 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 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

  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.
