To begin our investigative odyssey into the potential correlation between the prominence of the name "Ruby" and the perceived techno-coolness of YouTube video titles, we embarked upon a multi-faceted approach, blending historical nomenclature analysis with contemporary digital content scrutiny. Our first step involved seeking out the quintessential repository of moniker popularity – the US Social Security Administration's database of baby names. This treasure trove of nomenclature trends allowed us to track the ascent and descent of "Ruby" throughout the years 2015 to 2022.

In tandem with this traditional name-gazing expedition, our intrepid research squad delved into the captivating world of digital content via the boundless domain of YouTube. Employing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, we mined a vast array of technology-themed video titles, meticulously dissecting their lexical compositions and charting the ebb and flow of their alluring cadence. It is here, within the alleys of YouTube's metadata, that we sought to measure the elusive aura of techno-fascination that each video title exudes.

The confluence of these seemingly incongruent pursuits culminated in a harmonious amalgamation of historical nomenclature analysis and contemporary digital content curation. The synthesis of these dual datasets, extracted through arduous spelunking across the expanses of the internet, positioned us to unravel a correlation of dazzling proportions – one that may just shed light on the entwined radiance of "Ruby" and the sizzle of tech titles.

As we navigated through this fervent juggling of nomenclature and digital pizzazz, we encountered a myriad of statistical instruments, from correlation analyses to multivariate regression models, each akin to a pixel in the grand tapestry of our empirical quest. Through the application of these analytical tools, we endeavored to disentangle the web of connections between the luminous aura of "Ruby" and the captivating allure of technology-themed video titles, with all the precision and vigor of a virtuoso untangling a spool of luminescent thread.

The cavalcade of data, at once unwieldy and enchanting, demanded a vigilant adherence to the principles of research integrity and statistical robustness. Thus, armed with a trove of historical name frequencies and an archive of captivating video titles, we maneuvered through a labyrinth of statistical configurations and methodological precautions, steadfast in our commitment to unraveling the glistening web that intertwines names and content.

By melding these diverse methodologies into a harmonious symphony of data analysis, we set the stage for the revelatory unveiling of the overarching relationship between the resplendence of "Ruby" and the magnetic charm of tech-savvy YouTube titles.

Correlation r = 0.9351865 (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 = 0.8745738 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 87.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., How cool Technology Connections YouTube video titles are) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Ruby) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00065. 0.0006480116738549658000000000
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 0.94 in 0.065% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,543 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.

[ 0.68, 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. Confounding variable: 2020 is particularly different from the other years on this graph. Confounding variables (like global pandemics) will cause two variables to look connected when in fact a "sneaky third" variable is influencing both of them behind the scenes.
  5. 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.
