Shuming BaoChina Data Center
University of Michigan
New Information - New Technology - New Directions
Questions How the religious landscape of China will look like in 20, 50
or 100 years?
What impacts of religious structures on regional landscape?
What impact of urbanization on religious landscape?
Is there a crowding out effect between different religions?
What impact of international investments and trade on
religious landscape?
What impact of inter-region migration on religious
landscape?
What are the spatial patterns and trends of different
religious denominations?
How the religious development interact with other
socioeconomic development?
Why Spatial?
What are the spatial patterns of data?
What are the spatial trends over the time?
What are spatial interactions between different
aspects of the society over the time and space?
What are the potential impacts of proposed actions on
our complex systems?
Methodology
Exploratory Data Analysis (descriptive reports, charts,
histogram, scatterplot, ….)
Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (spatial visualization,
Moran I, LISA, .…)
Statistical Analysis (statistical modeling, estimates,
predictions, ….)
Space-Time Analysis (space-time modeling,
animation ,…)
Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis
Tests for spatial patterns of the data
Tests for spatial autocorrelation
Identifying outliers over the space
Identifying spatial trends
o Moran I test for spatial autocorrelation:
o LISA tests for spatial associations:
Local Moran: Local Geary:
o Variogram test for spatial stationarity and nonstationarity (variogram,
covariogram, correlogram, boxplots, trend model, and statistic graphics)

Religion and International Trade
Literature: International trade help spread religion
Test: The impact of international trade on religious distribution and growth
Spatial Patterns Analysis of Religious Denominations
Literature: The spatial-temporal process can be identified with the spatial
frequency of family names
Test: The spatial process of different religions with the family names of
Temple abbot.
Discussion and Summary
Positive impact of balance religious structure
on regional development
Positive correlations between Buddhism,
Daoism and Christianity; and negative
correlation with Islam.
Positive correlation between Christianity and
International trade in western China
Dynamic growth of Christianity in rural areas.
