Introduction

As Shakespeare famously opined, "What's in a name?" Well, dear reader, as we shall endeavor to demonstrate in this scorching investigation, there may be more than meets the eye – or should we say, the moniker. Our study sets out to blaze a trail through the hazy realm of nomenclature and its potential correlation with the incendiary crime of arson, focusing specifically on the popularity of the first name Antwan and its purported link to fiery felonies in the sun-drenched state of Arizona.

While the notion of a name influencing behavior may seem akin to an old wives' tale, our research seeks to bring rigor and statistical heat to this sizzling debate. Drawing upon data from the US Social Security Administration and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services, we sought to shed light on the burning question of whether there exists a meaningful association between the name Antwan and the occurrence of arson in the Grand Canyon State.

With the fervor of a pyromaniac in a match factory, we embarked on a quest to unpick this enigmatic nexus – and the preliminary findings from our inferno of analysis have left us, well, hot under the collar. Without further ado, let us delve into the kindling of our findings and smolder through the underbrush of empirical inquiry.

Embers of Evidence: A Sparkling Analysis

Fanning the Flames: A Hotter Correlation Than Expected

Before setting off on this fiery escapade, we bravely hypothesized that any semblance of a relationship between the name Antwan and incidents of arson would be as elusive as a firefighter in a wildfire. However, lo and behold, our initial forays into the data ignited a scorching revelation – a correlation coefficient of 0.9164673, engulfing our expectations in an unexpected conflagration of statistical significance.

As we sifted through the smoldering remnants of our analysis, we found that the popularity of the name Antwan and the incidence of arson in Arizona exhibited a degree of association that seemed almost too hot to handle. Furthermore, after fanning the statistical flames with rigorous testing, the resulting significance level of p < 0.01 left us singed by the reality of this unholy alliance between nomenclature and nefarious deeds.

Casting Light on a Fiery Conundrum

Armed with these incandescent findings, we are compelled to stoke the flames of curiosity and ponder the implications of this red-hot correlation. Ostensibly, could it be that the mere utterance of the name Antwan conjures up images of flaming infernos in the minds of individuals residing in the desert climes of Arizona? Or perhaps, as the great philosopher Socrates once opined (albeit in a different context), "the unexamined name is not worth having."

Regardless of the underlying mechanisms at play, our study sets ablaze new avenues of inquiry into the potential influence of appellations on behavior, evoking discussions that are as intriguing as they are, dare we say, incendiary. As we press on with our zealous endeavor to unravel the mysteries of nomenclature and its interplay with criminal proclivities, we hope that our findings will serve as kindling for further fires of investigation in this combustible field.

And so, with the tinder of empirical evidence alight and the flames of curiosity dancing merrily in our minds, we invite you, dear reader, to journey with us into the searing heart of this captivating conundrum. As we traverse the scorching landscape of data and delve into the smoldering depths of our analysis, may our exploration illuminate the fiery bond between the name Antwan and the blazing specter of arson in the arid expanse of Arizona.

In closing, as we set our sights on the horizon of future research – where we hope to ignite deeper understanding and quench the thirst for knowledge in this red-hot domain – let us remember the immortal words of the great Roman poet Virgil: "Audaces fortuna iuvat," or in more contemporary parlance, "Fortune favors the bold." With that fiery aphorism in mind, let us march forth boldly into the embers of inquiry and embrace the inferno of discovery that awaits us.

It is with fervent anticipation that we bring our tantalizing findings to light, and we trust that our scholarly pyre will kindle a spark of curiosity in the minds of our esteemed readers. Let us embark upon this scorching odyssey together, for the truth, as they say, is often found in the most unexpected conflagrations.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "Smith et al." the authors find that there may be a potential relationship between first names and criminal behavior, offering a sobering glimpse into the world of nominative determinism. "Doe and Johnson" further contribute to this line of investigation by exploring the influence of names on societal perceptions and identity formation, laying the groundwork for our own combustion of research.

Turning to the scorching realm of non-fiction literature, "The Name Game: Unraveling the Mysteries of Monikers" by Dr. Emily Blaze undertakes a torrid exploration of the ways in which names can ignite unique personal trajectories, perhaps even leading some poor souls down a path of arson-related transgressions. Similarly, "Pyromania and You: A Guide to Heat-Seeking Behavior" by Dr. Ignatius Spark delves into the psychological tinderbox of pyromaniacal tendencies, offering insights that may smolder beneath the surface of our own findings.

In the fictional sphere, our research is inspired by the classic novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, where the incendiary themes of book burning and societal control are closely related to our study. Furthermore, the suspense-laden tale "The Arsonist's Handbook" by Flora Ember provides a heat-seeking glimpse into the world of fire-starting, casting a fiery glow of inspiration upon our scholarly pursuits.

On a lighter note, our investigative journey extended to the realm of television, with "Firefighters: Blazing Trails in Public Service" and "Criminal Minds: Arizona Arson Unit" serving as sources of scorching entertainment and dubious inspiration for our research endeavors. These incendiary television shows allowed us to fan the flames of our inquiry, providing a semi-relevant backdrop against which we could stoke our scholarly curiosity.

Now that we've ventured into the diverse infernos of literary and televised inspiration, it's time to immerse ourselves in the searing cesspool of academic research, where the smoke of knowledge mingles with the flames of discovery. So, let's strike a match and kindle the fires of our intellectual pyre as we forge ahead into the swirling vortex of name-related shenanigans and arson in the arid domain of Arizona.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
Introduction
As Shakespeare famously opined, "What's in a name?" Well, dear reader, as we shall endeavor to demonstrate in this scorching investigation, there may be more than meets the eye – or should we say, the moniker. Our study sets out to blaze a trail through the hazy realm of nomenclature and its potential correlation with the incendiary crime of arson, focusing specifically on the popularity of the first name Antwan and its purported link to fiery felonies in the sun-drenched state of Arizona.
While the notion of a name influencing behavior may seem akin to an old wives' tale, our research seeks to bring rigor and statistical heat to this sizzling debate. Drawing upon data from the US Social Security Administration and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services, we sought to shed light on the burning question of whether there exists a meaningful association between the name Antwan and the occurrence of arson in the Grand Canyon State.
With the fervor of a pyromaniac in a match factory, we embarked on a quest to unpick this enigmatic nexus – and the preliminary findings from our inferno of analysis have left us, well, hot under the collar. Without further ado, let us delve into the kindling of our findings and smolder through the underbrush of empirical inquiry.
Embers of Evidence: A Sparkling Analysis
Fanning the Flames: A Hotter Correlation Than Expected
Before setting off on this fiery escapade, we bravely hypothesized that any semblance of a relationship between the name Antwan and incidents of arson would be as elusive as a firefighter in a wildfire. However, lo and behold, our initial forays into the data ignited a scorching revelation – a correlation coefficient of 0.9164673, engulfing our expectations in an unexpected conflagration of statistical significance.
As we sifted through the smoldering remnants of our analysis, we found that the popularity of the name Antwan and the incidence of arson in Arizona exhibited a degree of association that seemed almost too hot to handle. Furthermore, after fanning the statistical flames with rigorous testing, the resulting significance level of p < 0.01 left us singed by the reality of this unholy alliance between nomenclature and nefarious deeds.

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we throw caution to the wind and delve into the fiery relationship between the popularity of the name Antwan and incidents of arson in the sizzling state of Arizona. With a burning curiosity, our research team utilized data from the US Social Security Administration and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services to light up the intersection between first names and crime.

Our findings illuminate a surprising link between the name Antwan and arson, igniting new discussions on the potential influence of monikers on mischievous behavior. This research stokes the flames of unconventional inquiry and sparks a burning desire for further investigation into the enigmatic ties between names and nefarious activities.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "Smith et al." the authors find that there may be a potential relationship between first names and criminal behavior, offering a sobering glimpse into the world of nominative determinism. "Doe and Johnson" further contribute to this line of investigation by exploring the influence of names on societal perceptions and identity formation, laying the groundwork for our own combustion of research.
Turning to the scorching realm of non-fiction literature, "The Name Game: Unraveling the Mysteries of Monikers" by Dr. Emily Blaze undertakes a torrid exploration of the ways in which names can ignite unique personal trajectories, perhaps even leading some poor souls down a path of arson-related transgressions. Similarly, "Pyromania and You: A Guide to Heat-Seeking Behavior" by Dr. Ignatius Spark delves into the psychological tinderbox of pyromaniacal tendencies, offering insights that may smolder beneath the surface of our own findings.
In the fictional sphere, our research is inspired by the classic novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, where the incendiary themes of book burning and societal control are closely related to our study. Furthermore, the suspense-laden tale "The Arsonist's Handbook" by Flora Ember provides a heat-seeking glimpse into the world of fire-starting, casting a fiery glow of inspiration upon our scholarly pursuits.
On a lighter note, our investigative journey extended to the realm of television, with "Firefighters: Blazing Trails in Public Service" and "Criminal Minds: Arizona Arson Unit" serving as sources of scorching entertainment and dubious inspiration for our research endeavors. These incendiary television shows allowed us to fan the flames of our inquiry, providing a semi-relevant backdrop against which we could stoke our scholarly curiosity.
Now that we've ventured into the diverse infernos of literary and televised inspiration, it's time to immerse ourselves in the searing cesspool of academic research, where the smoke of knowledge mingles with the flames of discovery. So, let's strike a match and kindle the fires of our intellectual pyre as we forge ahead into the swirling vortex of name-related shenanigans and arson in the arid domain of Arizona.

[[DISCUSSION]]

In the scorching aftermath of our incendiary findings, it is clear that our research has fanned the flames of the discussion on the potential influence of names on mischievous behavior, particularly when it comes to arson in Arizona. Our results, which exhibited a blazing hot correlation coefficient and a smoking significance level, support and extend previous studies that have hinted at a connection between first names and criminal activities.

As we stoke the embers of inquiry, it's important to revisit some of the smoldering highlights of the literature review. Our findings affirm the earlier work of "Smith et al.," who first illuminated the possibility of a fiery relationship between names and criminal behavior. Additionally, "Doe and Johnson's" exploration of the influence of names on societal perceptions is kindling for our own combustion of research, as our findings suggest that the popularity of the name Antwan may indeed ignite perceptions of criminal proclivities.

Further kindling these notions, the work of Dr. Emily Blaze in "The Name Game" sparked our curiosity on the potential for names to set ablaze unique personal trajectories, including those that may veer into the realm of arson-related transgressions. Similarly, the psychological tinderbox explored by Dr. Ignatius Spark in "Pyromania and You" contributes to the firestorm of evidence that suggests a potential connection between names and pyromaniacal tendencies.

Turning to the fictional realm, the classic novel "Fahrenheit 451" and the suspense-laden tale "The Arsonist's Handbook" by Flora Ember have both provided ample kindling for our scholarly pursuits. The heat-seeking themes in these works have always been considered purely fictional, but our research suggests that these fiery concepts may indeed have tangible links to the real world.

On a lighter note, it's worth highlighting the semi-relevant sources of scorching entertainment that further fanned the flames of our inquiry. While it may seem far-fetched, shows like "Criminal Minds: Arizona Arson Unit" may have inadvertently added heat to our research by setting the stage for exploring the influence of names on criminal behavior.

The visual depiction of our findings in Fig. 1 provides a searing clarity that cannot be ignored, much like the unmistakable crackling of flames. Our scatterplot ignites the page with the undeniable depiction of the flaming-hot correlation between the popularity of the name Antwan and incidents of arson in Arizona, further fueling the debate on the influence of names on behavior.

In conclusion, our findings add fuel to the fiery debate surrounding the impact of names on behavior and raise important questions about the potential impact of nomenclature on criminal proclivities. As the smoke of knowledge mingles with the flames of discovery, it is clear that our research sheds a scorching light on the combustible interplay between names and mischievous acts. With the inferno of statistical evidence as our guide, we stand ready to stoke the embers of curiosity and ignite further exploration into the enigmatic relationship between the popularity of the name Antwan and the specter of arson in the arid landscape of Arizona.

Correlation r = 0.9164673 (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 = 0.8399123 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 84% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Arson in Arizona) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Antwan) over the 38 years from 1985 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.8E-16. 0.0000000000000006838277012231
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 0.92 in 6.8E-14% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,462,356,669,978,990 random variables You don't actually need 1 quadrillion 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 37 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 37 because we have two variables measured over a period of 38 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.

[ 0.84, 0.96 ] 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.




Try it yourself

You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.

Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.

Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"

Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.

Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.

Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.

Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"

If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:

"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. 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."

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.
