[[INTRODUCTION]]

The relationship between the popularity of first names and their influence on various aspects of human experience has been a subject of both scholarly inquiry and casual amusement for centuries. In the realm of celestial nomenclature and its earthly manifestations, the impact of names such as Venus, Luna, and Stella has been a source of fascination. However, one name that has garnered less attention in this context is "Jodie."

The first name "Jodie" reached the peak of its popularity in the late 1970s, coinciding with the heyday of disco music and the dawn of home computing. As the U.S. Social Security Administration meticulously records such data, we are able to explore the temporal evolution of the name's favor among the populace. This historical context provides a springboard for our analysis of its influence on a seemingly unrelated domain - PBS Space Time YouTube video titles.

PBS Space Time, a channel dedicated to exploring the depths of space, time, and the universe, has amassed a loyal following of science enthusiasts and curious minds. Its video titles serve as the gateway to its content, shaping the initial impression and intrigue of potential viewers. By employing an AI-assisted assessment of the linguistic and conceptual quality of these titles, we seek to unveil any latent connection to the popularity of the name "Jodie."

In this study, we submit the data to rigorous statistical scrutiny to elucidate the enigmatic link between Jodie's allure and the cosmic allure of PBS Space Time video titles. As we delve into the celestial conundrum of this unexpected correlation, we are reminded of the cosmic dance of variables and the playful interplay of statistical outliers.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

A wealth of literature exists on the topic of first names and their potential influence on various aspects of human experience. Smith et al. (2010) examined the societal implications of naming trends, finding correlations between name popularity and diverse outcomes such as career choices and social interactions. Doe and Brown (2015) delved into the psychological dimensions of name perception, uncovering nuanced associations between names and personality attributions. Jones (2018) similarly explored the cultural resonance of names, shedding light on the enduring impact of nomenclature on individual identity formation.

In the realm of space exploration and cosmological inquiry, several notable works have contributed to our understanding of celestial phenomena and the cultural significance imbued within them. In "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan, the author elegantly intertwines scientific discourse with the poetic allure of the cosmos, inviting readers to contemplate the vastness of the universe. "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, while renowned for its profound scientific insights, also captures the imagination with its ethereal portrayal of space and time.

Expanding the literary scope, several works of fiction have grappled with themes of cosmic wonder and existential exploration. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams whimsically traverses the universe, blending satire and science fiction in a delightful tapestry of cosmic absurdity. "Contact" by Carl Sagan, though a work of fiction, presents a compelling narrative of interstellar communication and the human quest for understanding the unknown.

Moving beyond the conventional scholarly sources, the authors conducted an unconventional review of potential insights. This unconventional review involved perusing an eclectic array of sources, including the backs of shampoo bottles, the hidden messages in fortune cookies, and the peculiar musings of coffee shop chalkboard signs. Surprisingly, these unorthodox sources yielded no direct relevance to the celestial connection of "Jodie" and PBS Space Time video titles. Nonetheless, they did offer a whimsical detour through the realm of linguistic oddities and serendipitous enigmas.

The Jodie Conundrum: A Celestial Connection to PBS Space Time Video Titles

[[ABSTRACT]]
This paper explores the relationship between the popularity of the first name "Jodie" and the quality of PBS Space Time YouTube video titles. Through a comprehensive analysis of data obtained from the US Social Security Administration and AI assessment of YouTube video titles, a striking correlation between the two has been revealed. The correlation coefficient of 0.9524480 and p < 0.01 for the period spanning from 2015 to 2022 points to a remarkably strong connection. The implications of this unexpected correlation are discussed, shedding light on the delightful interplay between celestial nomenclature and the cosmic tapestry of online video content.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The relationship between the popularity of first names and their influence on various aspects of human experience has been a subject of both scholarly inquiry and casual amusement for centuries. In the realm of celestial nomenclature and its earthly manifestations, the impact of names such as Venus, Luna, and Stella has been a source of fascination. However, one name that has garnered less attention in this context is "Jodie."
The first name "Jodie" reached the peak of its popularity in the late 1970s, coinciding with the heyday of disco music and the dawn of home computing. As the U.S. Social Security Administration meticulously records such data, we are able to explore the temporal evolution of the name's favor among the populace. This historical context provides a springboard for our analysis of its influence on a seemingly unrelated domain - PBS Space Time YouTube video titles.
PBS Space Time, a channel dedicated to exploring the depths of space, time, and the universe, has amassed a loyal following of science enthusiasts and curious minds. Its video titles serve as the gateway to its content, shaping the initial impression and intrigue of potential viewers. By employing an AI-assisted assessment of the linguistic and conceptual quality of these titles, we seek to unveil any latent connection to the popularity of the name "Jodie."
In this study, we submit the data to rigorous statistical scrutiny to elucidate the enigmatic link between Jodie's allure and the cosmic allure of PBS Space Time video titles. As we delve into the celestial conundrum of this unexpected correlation, we are reminded of the cosmic dance of variables and the playful interplay of statistical outliers.

[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data from the period 2015 to 2022 revealed a remarkably strong correlation between the popularity of the first name "Jodie" and the quality of PBS Space Time YouTube video titles. The correlation coefficient of 0.9524480 and an r-squared value of 0.9071572 indicate a highly robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. The p-value of less than 0.01 further reinforces the statistical significance of this association, establishing it as a noteworthy phenomenon deserving of scrutiny.
Figure 1 illustrates the striking correlation between the two variables, depicting a scatterplot that showcases the impressive coherence between the popularity of the name "Jodie" and the quality of PBS Space Time video titles.
This unexpected finding raises fascinating questions about the subtle influences that names can exert on disparate domains. The cosmic tapestry of online video content and the celestial allure of names converge in an intriguing and seemingly inexplicable manner, presenting an enigma that defies conventional expectations. This unexpected correlation invites a whimsical reflection on the capricious whims of statistical destiny and the celestial dance of variables that govern our universe.

Correlation r = 0.9524480 (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 = 0.9071572 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., How good PBS Space Time YouTube video titles are) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Jodie) over the 8 years from 2015 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.00026. 0.0002593145004373895000000000
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 0.026% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,856 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.

[ 0.75, 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. 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.
