Epiphenom
This is just a quick follow-up to my previous post, on prayer frequency in different nations as estimated with model using income inequality, GDP, urbanisation, religious diversity and goverment regulation of religion.
There’s a graph which shows how the model performs versus reality. All the blue blobs are different countries, but not all are labelled.
A few people have asked what the values were for individual countries that weren’t labelled. Well, here they are!
The numbers are on a 7-point scale, where 1 is pray every day and 7 is never. High numbers = less prayer!
