DESCRIPTION

44       r.li.simpson calculates the "Simpson’s diversity index" as:
45       with:
46
47           ·   i: patch type
48
49           ·   m: number of different patch types
50
51           ·   pi: proportional abundance of patch type i
52

NOTES

54       Do not use absolute path names  for  the  config  and  output  file/map
55       parameters.    If   the   "moving   window"   method  was  selected  in
56       g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be  a  raster  map,  otherwise  an
57       ASCII  file  will  be  generated  in  the  folder  C:\Users\userxy\App‐
58       Data\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\            (MS-Windows)             or
59       $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
60
61       If  the  input  raster  map contains only NULL values then r.li.simpson
62       returns NULL.
63

EXAMPLES

65       To calculate Simpson’s diversity index on  map  my_map,  using  my_conf
66       configuration  file (previously defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving
67       results in my_out, run:
68       r.li.simpson input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
69
70       Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
71       g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
72       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
73       r.li.simpson input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_simpson_mov7
74       r.univar forests_simpson_mov7
75
76       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
77       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
78       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
79       r.li.simpson input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_simpson_mov7
80       # verify
81       r.univar forests_simpson_mov7
82       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
83       d.mon wx0
84       d.rast forests_simpson_mov7
85       d.vect forests type=boundary
