[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The correlation between the popularity of the first name "Leonardo" and the noteworthy nature of PBS Space Time video titles has captured the intrigue of scholars and enthusiasts alike. Several previous studies have delved into the domain of nomenclature trends and linguistic resonances, offering valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of name popularity and cultural references. Smith et al. (2018), in their analysis of first name trends, observed a notable spike in the prevalence of "Leonardo" coinciding with the emergence of certain cultural phenomena, hinting at the far-reaching influence of popular figures carrying this moniker.

Doe and Jones (2021) further extended this line of inquiry by examining the linguistic characteristics of YouTube video titles and their impact on viewer engagement. Their findings unveiled a plethora of intriguing patterns in professional-sounding video titles, underscoring the delicate balance between intellectual appeal and mass accessibility.

On a tangentially related note, "The Power of Names" by Malcolm Jones and "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner offer captivating perspectives on the societal significance of names and the unforeseen ramifications of naming conventions. These works provide a broader contextual backdrop for understanding the underlying forces shaping the popularity of certain names and their cultural symbolism.

Beyond the realm of non-fiction literature, the fictitious landscapes of literary works have also woven intricate narratives around the theme of nomenclature. In "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss and "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, the evocative power of names is explored in captivating detail, hinting at the enigmatic allure of linguistic symbolism.

Drawing unexpected inspiration from board games, the interplay of strategy and chance in "Scrabble" and "Codenames" offers an offbeat lens through which to contemplate the nuanced art of wordplay and lexical resonance. These seemingly divergent sources converge in elucidating the multifaceted dimensions of language and cultural references, providing a whimsical yet thought-provoking backdrop for our inquiry.

Correlation r = 0.9014447 (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 = 0.8126025 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 81.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., How professional-sounding PBS Space Time YouTube video titles are) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Leonardo) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0022. 0.0022197976277782540000000000
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 0.9 in 0.22% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 450 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.

[ 0.54, 0.98 ] 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.
