[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Smith et al. (2015) conducted a comprehensive analysis of the social and cultural implications of first names in their seminal work "The Significance of Names." The authors delved into the intricate tapestry of nomenclature, exploring its impact on individual identity, societal perceptions, and even career prospects. Although their study did not specifically investigate the correlation between first names and digital content consumption, it laid the groundwork for understanding the deeper significance of nomenclature in shaping human experiences.

Doe and Johnson (2017) further expanded the discourse on the societal impact of names in "Naming and Identity in the 21st Century," shedding light on the evolving patterns of name selection and the enduring influence of familial, cultural, and historical factors. While their research did not directly address the relationship between first names and online video preferences, it provided valuable insights into the dynamic nature of nomenclature and its resonance in contemporary society.

Jones (2019) examined the connection between popular culture and individual identity in "Pop Culture Persuasions," unraveling the ways in which media, entertainment, and cultural artifacts influence self-perception and social interactions. Although Jones' study did not explicitly explore the name Chandler or LEMMiNO's YouTube videos, it contributed to the broader understanding of how popular culture intertwines with personal identity and behavioral inclinations.

Turning to non-fiction literature that could provide tangential insights, "The Power of Trends: Analyzing Cultural Shifts" by Trenderson (2016) offers a compelling framework for understanding the mechanisms behind trend formation and dissemination. Although the focus is on macro-level cultural trends, the principles elucidated in the book may lend themselves to contextualizing the unexpected correlation between the name Chandler and the length of LEMMiNO's videos.

Furthermore, in the realm of fiction, works such as "The Name Chronicles" by Storyteller (2018) and "Musings of Video Voyages" by DigitalDreamer (2020) hint at the intertwining of narratives and names, albeit in a purely fictional context. While fictional narratives must be approached with caution in a scholarly examination, these imaginative works spark curiosity about the potential interplay between nomenclature and digital content in the realm of storytelling and creative expression.

In a more lighthearted vein, one cannot overlook the animated series "Friends" and the character Chandler Bing, played by Matthew Perry, whose penchant for humor and wit may have inadvertently influenced the proclivities of individuals bearing the name Chandler. This undoubtedly raises the question of whether there exists an underlying connection between the comedic charm of the character and the content preferences of individuals sharing his name.

As the literature demonstrates, while substantial research exists on names, identity, and media culture, there is a notable gap in understanding the specific nexus between the name Chandler and LEMMiNO's YouTube videos. This serves as the impetus for our empirical investigation into this unlikely yet compelling correlation.

To plunge into the enigmatic correlation between the popularity of the name Chandler and the length of LEMMiNO YouTube videos, our research team undertook an elaborate and thoroughly, um, methodical approach. Our journey began with an exploration of public data sources, primarily delving into the vast archives of the US Social Security Administration’s baby name database. We sought to track the prevalence of the name Chandler over the years 2012 to 2022 to capture a comprehensive snapshot of its popularity. We then ventured into the digital frontier of YouTube, meticulously scrutinizing the catalog of LEMMiNO’s video uploads, measuring the total length of each video with painstaking precision.

The data exploration process may not have involved traversing rugged terrains or scaling towering mountains, but it certainly presented its own challenges. Coaxing meaning from the swirling whirlpool of online data repositories required a keen eye for detail, a steadfast determination, and an uncanny ability to resist the siren call of cat videos and rabbit hole distractions. Nonetheless, we embraced the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the digital realm, triumphing over quirky file formats, peculiar data anomalies, and the occasional stray clickbait heading.

Once the data had been harnessed and corralled into a meaningful format, we embarked on the statistical odyssey of analysis. The variables at play in this investigation were not only curious but also brimming with potential for correlation, correlation, correlation—oh, and perhaps a sprinkling of causation. With the air of intrepid explorers charting uncharted territories, we calculated the correlation coefficient between the prevalence of the name Chandler and the total length of LEMMiNO's YouTube videos. Our trusty statistical software heaved, calculated, and then tantalizingly revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.9530278 – a figure that elicited an appreciative nod from our data aficionados.

The journey didn't end there—oh no! We dared to venture into the heart of the p-value labyrinth, where our mission was to seek out the elusive threshold of statistical significance. The gravitas of our findings materialized with a p-value of less than 0.01, wholeheartedly affirming the robustness of the correlation.

While the allure of delving into seemingly whimsical correlations may prompt a bemused chuckle or two, the academic rigor and scientific integrity inherent in this methodology sit at the core of our empirical pursuit. Our thesaurus of statistical techniques, our compass of data exploration, and our steed of hypothesis testing guided us through this scholarly voyage, culminating in a bounty of results that beckon us to ponder the whimsy and wonderment of this unforeseen entanglement.

And thus, armed with data, determination, and the pursuit of scientific knowledge, we stand ready to present the captivating parallels we’ve uncovered. So, brace yourselves for a captivating, albeit slightly quirky, unveiling of our findings.

Correlation r = 0.9530278 (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 = 0.9082620 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total length of LEMMiNO YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Chandler) over the 11 years from 2012 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.8E-6. 0.0000057707153101780145000000
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 0.95 in 0.00058% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 173,289 random variables You don't actually need 173 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 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 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.

[ 0.82, 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 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
