[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The exploration of trends in naming practices and their relationship to cultural phenomena has long been a subject of scholarly interest. Smith et al. (2015) and Doe (2018) have delved into the societal impact of naming conventions and the intricate interplay between individual identity and broader cultural influences. On the other hand, Jones (2020) has shed light on the rise of internet memes and their role as a unique mirror of contemporary culture and shared amusement.

In a departure from the traditional literature, our investigation also draws inspiration from non-fiction works such as "The Psychology of Names" by Brown (2017) and "The Science of Internet Memes" by White (2019). These insightful texts offer a window into the intricate ties between naming conventions and psychological factors, as well as the cultural dynamics that underpin the virality of internet memes.

Venturing into the realm of fiction, we find intriguing parallels in books such as "Name Games: A Novel" by Green (2016) and "Meme Masters: A Tale of Internet Shenanigans" by Gray (2018). While these works are not grounded in empirical research, they provide a whimsical lens through which to view the intersection of names and memes, prompting us to consider unconventional perspectives in our own investigation.

In a light-hearted yet rigorous pursuit of understanding, our research team also turned to popular children's cartoons and shows for inspiration and insight. From the playful antics of "SpongeBob SquarePants" to the delightful humor of "Sesame Street," these sources offered a playful backdrop against which to ponder the quirky connections between names and internet culture, infusing our scholarly exploration with a sense of whimsy and amusement.

As we navigate through this eclectic collection of literature and media, we aim to unravel the unexpected correlations and peculiarities that underpin the relationship between the popularity of the name Gianna and the 'I Am Once Again' meme. In doing so, we embrace the spirit of curiosity and merriment, inviting readers to join us on this joyous journey through the intertwining realms of names and memes.

Given the playful nature of our inquiry, we embarked on a journey festooned with meme magic and name-game charm in a quest to decode the curious connection between Gianna and the globally embraced 'I Am Once Again' meme. The intermingling of these disparate yet curiously intertwined datasets fueled our playful spirits and incited a palpable sense of adventure as we ventured into the heart of this delightful investigation.

Correlation r = 0.9657713 (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 = 0.9327142 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 93.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Popularity of the 'i am once again' meme) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Gianna) over the 17 years from 2006 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 3.4E-10. 0.0000000003383644001353369000
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 0.97 in 3.4E-8% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,955,393,651 random variables You don't actually need 2 billion 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 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 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.

[ 0.91, 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. 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.

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."
