[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In their study, Smith and Doe (2010) found a substantial increase in the popularity of the name "Lexus" in the United States, particularly in urban areas. The authors speculate that this surge may be correlated with the rise in luxury car ownership and a fondness for sleek and sophisticated names. On the other hand, Jones (2012) delves into the environmental dynamics of Dover, Delaware, highlighting the city's struggle with air pollution resulting from industrial activities and traffic congestion. Surprisingly, the authors present a potential link between human nomenclature and the atmosphere, pointing towards the need for further investigation into the potential influence of naming trends on environmental factors.
Now, let's rev our engines and shift into a more light-hearted gear. In "Car Names and Air Quality" by Witty & Punny (2018), the authors entertain the idea of pun-dering over the correlation between automotive nomenclature and atmospheric conditions. With a dash of humor, they drive home the point that statistical analyses don't always have to be as dry as the Sahara Desert. This thought-provoking study manages to steer clear of monotony while navigating through the quirky avenue of academic research, leaving readers with a chuckle and a raised eyebrow.
Furthermore, fictional works also offer intriguing perspectives on the intersection of nomenclature and environmental influences. In "The Smog Chronicles" by A. I. Breathless (2005), the protagonist, Lexi, embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries of air pollution in a dystopian city. This novel provides a fictional account that mirrors our own research endeavors, albeit with a touch of melodrama and suspenseful twists. Additionally, "EcoNomenclature: Names and the Natural World" by A. V. Geek (2012) presents a fictional yet thought-provoking exploration of how names resonate with the environment, tapping into the whimsy of linguistic and ecological interplay.
As we take a brief detour into the realm of television, shows such as "The Urban Name Game" and "Pollution Patrol" provide a glimpse into the cultural fascination with urban nomenclature and environmental concerns. While not explicitly delving into our specific research domain, these shows offer a glimpse into the public's interest in the complex tapestry of urban life and environmental considerations, albeit with a sprinkle of dramatic exaggeration for viewership delight.
Well, well, it seems we've reached the intersection of serious research and lighthearted musings. As we navigate through this academic terrain, let's not forget to enjoy the ride, embracing the unexpected correlations and scholarly giggles along the way. After all, who says statistical analysis can't have a little flair and a dad joke or two? Just like a hybrid car, our research must strike a balance between pressing issues and quirky curiosities, steering us towards a richer understanding of the world around us.

Lexus and the City: A Statistical Analysis of the Correlation between the Popularity of the Name "Lexus" and Air Pollution in Dover, Delaware
[[ABSTRACT]]
This study investigates the intriguing relationship between the popularity of the first name "Lexus" and levels of air pollution in the charming city of Dover, Delaware. Leveraging data from the US Social Security Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, we conducted a thorough empirical analysis to determine if there exists a meaningful association between these seemingly disparate factors.
Surprisingly, our findings unveiled a strong correlation coefficient of 0.8051937, with a p-value of less than 0.01 for the time period of 1990 to 2012, demonstrating a robust link between the naming trends and air quality in this quaint region. Our results not only provide compelling evidence for this unlikely connection but also inspire a whole new meaning of "exhaust emissions."
Perhaps this association can be attributed to an increase in car sales or the perceived sleekness of the name, but one thing is clear—Lexus, both the name and the automobile, might be leaving a lasting impression on Dover's atmosphere. This study offers a whimsical yet thought-provoking perspective on the intersection of nomenclature and environmental dynamics, eliciting the question: Are naming trends driving air pollution or is air pollution driving naming trends? It's a real "Lexus flexus" conundrum!
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In their study, Smith and Doe (2010) found a substantial increase in the popularity of the name "Lexus" in the United States, particularly in urban areas. The authors speculate that this surge may be correlated with the rise in luxury car ownership and a fondness for sleek and sophisticated names. On the other hand, Jones (2012) delves into the environmental dynamics of Dover, Delaware, highlighting the city's struggle with air pollution resulting from industrial activities and traffic congestion. Surprisingly, the authors present a potential link between human nomenclature and the atmosphere, pointing towards the need for further investigation into the potential influence of naming trends on environmental factors.
Now, let's rev our engines and shift into a more light-hearted gear. In "Car Names and Air Quality" by Witty & Punny (2018), the authors entertain the idea of pun-dering over the correlation between automotive nomenclature and atmospheric conditions. With a dash of humor, they drive home the point that statistical analyses don't always have to be as dry as the Sahara Desert. This thought-provoking study manages to steer clear of monotony while navigating through the quirky avenue of academic research, leaving readers with a chuckle and a raised eyebrow.
Furthermore, fictional works also offer intriguing perspectives on the intersection of nomenclature and environmental influences. In "The Smog Chronicles" by A. I. Breathless (2005), the protagonist, Lexi, embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries of air pollution in a dystopian city. This novel provides a fictional account that mirrors our own research endeavors, albeit with a touch of melodrama and suspenseful twists. Additionally, "EcoNomenclature: Names and the Natural World" by A. V. Geek (2012) presents a fictional yet thought-provoking exploration of how names resonate with the environment, tapping into the whimsy of linguistic and ecological interplay.
As we take a brief detour into the realm of television, shows such as "The Urban Name Game" and "Pollution Patrol" provide a glimpse into the cultural fascination with urban nomenclature and environmental concerns. While not explicitly delving into our specific research domain, these shows offer a glimpse into the public's interest in the complex tapestry of urban life and environmental considerations, albeit with a sprinkle of dramatic exaggeration for viewership delight.
Well, well, it seems we've reached the intersection of serious research and lighthearted musings. As we navigate through this academic terrain, let's not forget to enjoy the ride, embracing the unexpected correlations and scholarly giggles along the way. After all, who says statistical analysis can't have a little flair and a dad joke or two? Just like a hybrid car, our research must strike a balance between pressing issues and quirky curiosities, steering us towards a richer understanding of the world around us.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data revealed a striking correlation between the popularity of the first name "Lexus" and the levels of air pollution in Dover, Delaware. The correlation coefficient of 0.8051937 indicates a strong positive relationship, akin to the allure of a brand-new luxury car on a shiny showroom floor. This finding suggests that as the popularity of the name "Lexus" increased, so did the levels of air pollution in this picturesque city. It's almost as if the name itself became a catalyst for environmental change, giving new meaning to the phrase "go green," or rather, in this case, "go lean."
The r-squared value of 0.6483370 further reinforces the robustness of this association, indicating that approximately 64.8% of the variation in air pollution levels can be explained by the popularity of the name "Lexus." It's as if the statistical stars aligned to illuminate this unlikely relationship, leaving us astounded by the unexpected "airs and graces" of our findings.
Additionally, with a p-value less than 0.01, the evidence supporting this correlation is as strong as a reinforced steel chassis. It's almost as if the statistical gods themselves are saying, "You've got a significant association here, folks!" This result provides strong support for the notion that there is more to a name than meets the eye, especially when it comes to its impact on environmental dynamics. It's a statistical success story that gives new meaning to the phrase "word on the street."

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 = 0.6483370 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 64.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air pollution in Dover, Delaware) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Lexus) over the 23 years from 1990 through 2012.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.6E-6. 0.0000035838442445730170000000
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 0.81 in 0.00036% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 279,030 random variables You don't actually need 279 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 22 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 22 because we have two variables measured over a period of 23 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.
[ 0.59, 0.91 ] 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.

Reuseable content
You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.
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.

- High resolution line chart
The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
