It’s simple. As the popularity of the first name Violet increased, so did the sales of lavender-scented products. The aroma of lavender has a calming effect, leading to a decrease in political polarization. This, in turn, inclined more individuals in Wisconsin towards libertarian ideology, ultimately boosting the libertarian votes for Senators. Who would have thought that a fragrant flower could have such a blooming impact on the political landscape?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The confluence of seemingly unrelated factors on political behavior has sparked curiosity and inquiry among academics and enthusiasts alike. In a study by Smith and Jones (2010), the authors sought to explore the nuances of political preferences and the potential influences that extend beyond conventional determinants. While their focus was on socioeconomic factors and policy preferences, their framework paves the way for examining unconventional variables, such as the popularity of first names, with regard to political outcomes. It's like finding a rare gem in a pile of rocks – unexpected but undeniably intriguing.
Doe et al. (2015) further delved into the realm of voter behavior and decision-making, emphasizing the complex interplay of individual identity and political choices. Their work sheds light on the often subtle and unseen forces that guide electoral allegiances and the potential impact of overlooked personal identifiers. It's as if they stumbled upon a secret stash of political intrigue amid the mundane trappings of everyday life.
Turning to non-fiction literature that could provide insight, "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, offers a compelling exploration of unconventional variables that shape human behavior and decision-making. While their focus may not be directly related to first names and political preferences, their approach encourages readers to consider the unexpected and challenge traditional assumptions. It's like discovering a hidden treasure trove of knowledge in the unlikeliest of places.
In the fictional realm, "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss explores the power of names and their significance in shaping destinies. While the context differs from our study, the underlying theme of the impact of names and identities resonates strongly. It's like stumbling upon a whimsical parallel universe where names hold the key to unforeseen adventures and revelations.
On a lighter note, the movie "Election" provides a satirical exploration of political dynamics, offering a humorous take on the complexities of electoral processes. While the film may not directly address the correlation between name popularity and political preferences, its portrayal of the quirks of democracy serves as a reminder of the unexpected and whimsical nature of political landscapes. It's like stumbling upon a comedic interlude in the midst of serious academic pursuits, offering a moment of levity amidst scholarly endeavors.

Violet's Veto: Exploring the Entangled Enigma of Name Popularity and Political Preferences in Wisconsin's Senators
[[ABSTRACT]]
In this groundbreaking study, we delved into the perplexing puzzle of whether the popularity of the first name Violet has any sway on the Libertarian votes for Senators in the cheese-laden state of Wisconsin. Armed with data from the US Social Security Administration and the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Harvard Dataverse, we scoured through decades of information to uncover the coveted correlation coefficient of 0.9859037 and a p-value less than 0.01 for the years spanning from 1980 to 2016. Our findings were nothing short of fascinating and it seems that Violet's influence may not just be limited to her charming scent!
Our research team uncovered that the surge in the popularity of the name Violet strangely coincides with a noteworthy rise in the Libertarian votes for Senators in Wisconsin. This unexpected connection left us pondering whether there might be a clandestine network of name-based political influence at play. It’s as if Violet’s brief charm and elegance have managed to captivate the political landscape, much like a dad joke that catches you off guard and leaves you chuckling at its subtle wit.
The implications of our study extend far beyond the boundaries of the Badger State, sparking discussions on the impact of seemingly unrelated factors on political preferences. As we move forward, this research challenges academics and voters alike to consider the unforeseen links between seemingly unrelated variables and emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the whims of democracy. Who knew a name like Violet could cast such a colorful shadow in the political realm?
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The confluence of seemingly unrelated factors on political behavior has sparked curiosity and inquiry among academics and enthusiasts alike. In a study by Smith and Jones (2010), the authors sought to explore the nuances of political preferences and the potential influences that extend beyond conventional determinants. While their focus was on socioeconomic factors and policy preferences, their framework paves the way for examining unconventional variables, such as the popularity of first names, with regard to political outcomes. It's like finding a rare gem in a pile of rocks – unexpected but undeniably intriguing.
Doe et al. (2015) further delved into the realm of voter behavior and decision-making, emphasizing the complex interplay of individual identity and political choices. Their work sheds light on the often subtle and unseen forces that guide electoral allegiances and the potential impact of overlooked personal identifiers. It's as if they stumbled upon a secret stash of political intrigue amid the mundane trappings of everyday life.
Turning to non-fiction literature that could provide insight, "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, offers a compelling exploration of unconventional variables that shape human behavior and decision-making. While their focus may not be directly related to first names and political preferences, their approach encourages readers to consider the unexpected and challenge traditional assumptions. It's like discovering a hidden treasure trove of knowledge in the unlikeliest of places.
In the fictional realm, "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss explores the power of names and their significance in shaping destinies. While the context differs from our study, the underlying theme of the impact of names and identities resonates strongly. It's like stumbling upon a whimsical parallel universe where names hold the key to unforeseen adventures and revelations.
On a lighter note, the movie "Election" provides a satirical exploration of political dynamics, offering a humorous take on the complexities of electoral processes. While the film may not directly address the correlation between name popularity and political preferences, its portrayal of the quirks of democracy serves as a reminder of the unexpected and whimsical nature of political landscapes. It's like stumbling upon a comedic interlude in the midst of serious academic pursuits, offering a moment of levity amidst scholarly endeavors.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a striking correlation between the popularity of the name Violet and the Libertarian votes for Senators in Wisconsin. Over the time period from 1980 to 2016, we found a correlation coefficient of 0.9859037 and an r-squared value of 0.9720062, both of which indicated a remarkably strong relationship between these variables. It's almost as surprising as finding a "cheesy" joke in a research paper – unexpected, yet amusingly fitting.
The p-value of less than 0.01 further solidifies the significance of this association, indicating that the likelihood of the observed correlation occurring by chance is exceedingly low. It's as if the name Violet has woven itself into the fabric of political influence, much like the way a good dad joke effortlessly slips into a conversation.
Furthermore, the correlation is visually depicted in Figure 1, a scatterplot illustrating the robust connection between the frequency of the name Violet and the Libertarian votes for Senators in Wisconsin. This compelling visual representation underscores the compelling nature of our findings and provides an unmistakable glimpse into the unexpected relationship between a name and political preferences. The plot serves as a gentle reminder that statistical analysis can both inform and entertain, much like a cleverly crafted joke that leaves a lasting impression.
In summary, our research offers compelling evidence of a substantial correlation between the popularity of the name Violet and the Libertarian votes for Senators in Wisconsin.

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 = 0.9720062 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.2% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Votes for Libertarian Senators in Wisconsin) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Violet) over the 9 years from 1980 through 2016.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.08E-6. 0.0000010800256652245114000000
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 0.000108% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 925,904 random variables You don't actually need 925 thousand 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 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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, 1 ] 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.
| 1980 | 1982 | 1992 | 1994 | 1998 | 2000 | 2004 | 2012 | 2016 | |
| Popularity of the first name Violet (Babies born) | 141 | 150 | 143 | 159 | 234 | 316 | 482 | 3281 | 4880 |
| Votes for Libertarian Senators in Wisconsin (Total votes) | 9679 | 7947 | 9147 | 15439 | 5591 | 21348 | 8367 | 62240 | 87531 |
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. - 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.
