[[INTRODUCTION]]

In the world of automotive safety, the investigation of potential risk factors for vehicle defects is a serious business, but that doesn't mean it can't have a touch of whimsy. As researchers, we strive to minimize the bumpy roads of uncertainty and illuminate the path towards safer driving experiences. But how often do we consider the impact of something as seemingly inconsequential as a first name on automotive recalls? Well, buckle up, because in this study, we take a lighthearted detour into the correlation, or should I say "hitch," between the prevalence of the name Daniela and automotive recalls specifically related to trailer hitch malfunctions. This investigation offers a unique spin on the otherwise sober topic of vehicular safety, by exploring the unlikely connection between the popularity of a name and product defects.

Before we dive headfirst into this intriguing correlation, let's first consider the gravity of the matter. After all, we don't want to be towing any false assumptions! The automotive industry has long grappled with identifying and addressing potential safety concerns, and trailer hitch malfunctions stand out as a persisting challenge. While the link between vehicular safety and personal nomenclature might seem, well, far-fetched, our research and analysis reveal compelling evidence that demands attention, or should I say "hitch-tention."

But why Daniela, you ask? Ah, that's the million-dollar question! The name Daniela, with its charming cadence, has captured the hearts of parents across the globe, and through the decades, it has seen fluctuations in popularity akin to the ebb and flow of automotive design trends. It's no wonder that we were drawn to investigate this particular moniker. And as fate would have it, our findings have veered towards an unexpected correlation, leaving us to ponder the whimsical possibility of Daniela's name being not just popular among parents, but also among tow hitch manufacturers. Maybe next time someone mentions a hitch, they'll mean the trailer kind and the name kind!

Keep in mind, all names used in this study are purely coincidental, but the findings are anything but. So, without further ado, let's embark on this curious journey through the highways of data and the byways of naming trends. After all, a little humor goes a long way, especially when exploring the unexpected twists and turns in academic research.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In “Smith and Doe,” the authors find significant correlations between personal nomenclature and consumer behavior, shedding light on the lesser-explored relationship between individual names and market dynamics. However, little did they know that their research would unknowingly pave the way for our groundbreaking investigation into the whimsical world of Daniela and trailer hitches.

In a more lighthearted exploration, “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams takes us on a cosmic journey that, while not directly addressing automotive recalls, humorously emphasizes the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated elements – a notion very much in line with our own findings. After all, who would have thought that a first name could be cosmically hitched to trailer hitch malfunctions?

Building on the conceptual foundation laid by “Jones and Smith,” “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë delves into the intricacies of individual identity and societal expectations, offering a parallel narrative to our examination of the name Daniela. While the novel may not explicitly mention automotive recalls, the underlying themes of identity and interconnectedness resonate with the intricate web of associations we've unearthed.

Speaking of interconnectedness, the viral internet meme "Hide the Pain Harold" captures the essence of our surprising discovery, as it humorously portrays the notion that buried beneath one's façade lies a host of unexpected connections – much like the unassuming link between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls. Who knew that a meme could so accurately encapsulate our findings? It seems that sometimes, the wisdom of the internet can hitch a ride on academic research.

As we continue to unravel the peculiar correlation between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls, we're reminded of the words of the infamous dad-joke connoisseur: "Why did the trailer hitch bring an umbrella to the party? Because it heard there was going to be a hitch in the forecast!" While the relevance of this joke may not be immediately apparent, it aptly reflects the unexpected humor we've encountered on this academic expedition.

In summary, our investigation has illuminated a hitherto unexplored intersection between personal nomenclature and automotive safety, uncovering a correlation that's as amusing as it is thought-provoking. So, as we draw this section to a close, we leave our readers with one last nugget of contemplation: Perhaps there's more to a name than meets the hitch?

[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unveil the enigmatic correlation between the popularity of the name Daniela and automotive recalls for trailer hitch issues, we embarked on a methodological journey that included a fusion of data collection, statistical analysis, and a dash of serendipity. As the saying goes, "the devil's in the details," or should we say, "the Daniela's in the details" in this case!

Firstly, we obtained historical data on the prevalence of the name Daniela from the US Social Security Administration, spanning from 1975 to 2022. This meticulous extraction involved sifting through vast repositories of baby name records to discern the fluctuating fortunes of the name Daniela over the decades. It's no small feat to track the name's rise and fall, not unlike navigating the unpaved roads of early data collection (pun intended).

Simultaneously, to capture the unfolding saga of automotive recalls for trailer hitch issues, we delved into the extensive database of the US Department of Transportation. This pursuit required a keen eye for detail, much like scrutinizing the intricate construction of a well-engineered trailer hitch.

With these two troves of data in hand, we sought to establish the statistical relationship between the prevalence of the name Daniela and the occurrences of automotive recalls for trailer hitch malfunctions. Our statistical analysis employed rigorous methods, such as regression analysis and correlation coefficients, to tease out the hidden ties between these disparate realms. We set our coordinates to navigate the statistical terrain, remaining resolute in the face of unexpected detours and - if you'll permit me - a few hitchhikers along the way.

Now, in the spirit of full disclosure (and a good chuckle), let's not forget the human touch woven into our methodology. Amidst the sea of numbers and charts, we maintained a keen awareness of the whimsical nature of our investigation. For as much as statistical rigor guides our journey, a touch of lightheartedness guided our spirits. After all, what's research without a few puns and unintended connections?

In sum, our exploratory methodology stands as a testament to the convergence of data-driven inquiry and the unexpected interplay of nomenclature and automotive design. With our compass pointed firmly at the intersection of name trends and mechanical hitches, we endeavored to shed light on this unique correlation with both a steely resolve and a good-natured quip or two along the way.

As we ponder the peculiar correlation between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls, we leave readers with some food for thought: Are trailers and names hitched together more than we realize?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In “Smith and Doe,” the authors find significant correlations between personal nomenclature and consumer behavior, shedding light on the lesser-explored relationship between individual names and market dynamics. However, little did they know that their research would unknowingly pave the way for our groundbreaking investigation into the whimsical world of Daniela and trailer hitches.
In a more lighthearted exploration, “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams takes us on a cosmic journey that, while not directly addressing automotive recalls, humorously emphasizes the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated elements – a notion very much in line with our own findings. After all, who would have thought that a first name could be cosmically hitched to trailer hitch malfunctions?
Building on the conceptual foundation laid by “Jones and Smith,” “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë delves into the intricacies of individual identity and societal expectations, offering a parallel narrative to our examination of the name Daniela. While the novel may not explicitly mention automotive recalls, the underlying themes of identity and interconnectedness resonate with the intricate web of associations we've unearthed.
Speaking of interconnectedness, the viral internet meme "Hide the Pain Harold" captures the essence of our surprising discovery, as it humorously portrays the notion that buried beneath one's façade lies a host of unexpected connections – much like the unassuming link between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls. Who knew that a meme could so accurately encapsulate our findings? It seems that sometimes, the wisdom of the internet can hitch a ride on academic research.
As we continue to unravel the peculiar correlation between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls, we're reminded of the words of the infamous dad-joke connoisseur: "Why did the trailer hitch bring an umbrella to the party? Because it heard there was going to be a hitch in the forecast!" While the relevance of this joke may not be immediately apparent, it aptly reflects the unexpected humor we've encountered on this academic expedition.
In summary, our investigation has illuminated a hitherto unexplored intersection between personal nomenclature and automotive safety, uncovering a correlation that's as amusing as it is thought-provoking. So, as we draw this section to a close, we leave our readers with one last nugget of contemplation: Perhaps there's more to a name than meets the hitch?

[[RESULTS]]
We embarked on a statistical adventure to uncover the fascinating relationship between the popularity of the name Daniela and automotive recalls specifically tied to issues with trailer hitches. To our surprise, our journey through the data revealed a noteworthy correlation. Our analysis revealed a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.6522107, an r-squared value of 0.4253788, and a p-value of less than 0.01, shedding light on a statistically significant association between the two variables.
The substantial correlation we found can be likened to a well-fitted trailer hitch – it's hard to miss. This remarkable statistical relationship prompts us to consider the potential implications and practical applications in both the fields of sociolinguistics and automotive safety.
Fig. 1 showcases the visually compelling scatterplot illustrating the robust correlation between the prevalence of the name Daniela and automotive recalls for trailer hitch issues. As we gaze upon this plot, it's hard not to appreciate the synchronicity between these seemingly disparate realms – just like a well-coordinated trailer hitch and its towing vehicle.
Now, on to the puns! We're hooked on this correlation between the name Daniela and trailer hitch recalls, and we're not the only ones – the data seems to be on board as well. It seems that when it comes to automotive safety and personal nomenclature, there's more than meets the "eye" (referring to both vehicle lights and the eye-catching nature of this correlation)!
The statistical significance of our findings invites further exploration into the potential underlying mechanisms driving this correlation.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
In the world of automotive safety, the investigation of potential risk factors for vehicle defects is a serious business, but that doesn't mean it can't have a touch of whimsy. As researchers, we strive to minimize the bumpy roads of uncertainty and illuminate the path towards safer driving experiences. But how often do we consider the impact of something as seemingly inconsequential as a first name on automotive recalls? Well, buckle up, because in this study, we take a lighthearted detour into the correlation, or should I say "hitch," between the prevalence of the name Daniela and automotive recalls specifically related to trailer hitch malfunctions. This investigation offers a unique spin on the otherwise sober topic of vehicular safety, by exploring the unlikely connection between the popularity of a name and product defects.
Before we dive headfirst into this intriguing correlation, let's first consider the gravity of the matter. After all, we don't want to be towing any false assumptions! The automotive industry has long grappled with identifying and addressing potential safety concerns, and trailer hitch malfunctions stand out as a persisting challenge. While the link between vehicular safety and personal nomenclature might seem, well, far-fetched, our research and analysis reveal compelling evidence that demands attention, or should I say "hitch-tention."
But why Daniela, you ask? Ah, that's the million-dollar question! The name Daniela, with its charming cadence, has captured the hearts of parents across the globe, and through the decades, it has seen fluctuations in popularity akin to the ebb and flow of automotive design trends. It's no wonder that we were drawn to investigate this particular moniker. And as fate would have it, our findings have veered towards an unexpected correlation, leaving us to ponder the whimsical possibility of Daniela's name being not just popular among parents, but also among tow hitch manufacturers. Maybe next time someone mentions a hitch, they'll mean the trailer kind and the name kind!
Keep in mind, all names used in this study are purely coincidental, but the findings are anything but. So, without further ado, let's embark on this curious journey through the highways of data and the byways of naming trends. After all, a little humor goes a long way, especially when exploring the unexpected twists and turns in academic research.

Correlation r = 0.6522107 (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 = 0.4253788 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 42.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Automotive recalls for issues with Trailer Hitches) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Daniela) over the 48 years from 1975 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.11E-7. 0.0000005106206166300567000000
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 0.65 in 5.11E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,958,401 random variables You don't actually need 1 million 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 47 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 47 because we have two variables measured over a period of 48 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.

[ 0.45, 0.79 ] 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. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data. In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

    For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

    (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
    They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.

Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."


# These modules make it easier to perform the calculation
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats

# We'll define a function that we can call to return the correlation calculations
def calculate_correlation(array1, array2):

    # Calculate Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value
    correlation, p_value = stats.pearsonr(array1, array2)

    # Calculate R-squared as the square of the correlation coefficient
    r_squared = correlation**2

    return correlation, r_squared, p_value

# These are the arrays for the variables shown on this page, but you can modify them to be any two sets of numbers
array_1 = np.array([143,171,196,172,192,223,255,297,342,385,415,499,569,536,658,702,819,975,1267,1180,1030,1121,1340,1602,2200,2158,2034,3037,3084,2846,2661,2641,3078,2805,2368,2038,1870,1637,1438,1495,1643,1669,1590,1558,1408,1283,1175,1215,])

array_1_name = "Popularity of the first name Daniela"

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.
