[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The study of name popularity and its influence on cultural trends involves a range of interdisciplinary research, spanning from sociology to psychology and even linguistics. In "Smith et al." researchers delve into the social implications of naming practices, analyzing the impact of name choices on individual identity and social perceptions. Similarly, "Doe and Jones" focus on the cognitive aspects of name recognition and its psychological effects, exploring how names can influence behavior and decision-making.

While these studies offer valuable insights into the significance of names in societal contexts, our research takes a cosmic leap into the celestial realm of nomenclature and its unexpected resonance in the digital domain. As we venture into this peculiar terrain, we draw inspiration from non-fiction works such as "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, which examines the hidden factors shaping human behavior and societal trends. Additionally, "The Power of Names" by Martha A. Keel delves into the cultural and psychological implications of naming, shedding light on the intricate connections between names and social phenomena.

However, our foray into the enigmatic correlation between the name Orion and the trendiness of YouTube video titles also draws inspiration from fictional works that hint at cosmic influences on human affairs. The cosmic musings of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams and the celestial intrigue of "Contact" by Carl Sagan offer imaginative perspectives on the intersection of cosmic wonders and human curiosity, providing a whimsical backdrop for our exploratory journey.

Moreover, cinematic experiences have played a role in shaping our perception of cosmic phenomena and technological marvels. Films such as "Interstellar" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" capture the grandeur of space exploration and the allure of futuristic technologies, immersing audiences in a cosmic tapestry of visual wonderment. While these cinematic works may seem unrelated to our study at first glance, they serve as an inspiration for our approach to infusing scholarly inquiry with a cosmic twist, adding a dash of interstellar flair to the exploration of cultural phenomena.

Correlation r = 0.9675700 (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 = 0.9361917 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., How trendy Technology Connections YouTube video titles are) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Orion) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.3E-5. 0.0000832065014725566900000000
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 0.0083% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 12,018 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 7 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 7 because we have two variables measured over a period of 8 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.

[ 0.83, 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.
  4. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
