DESCRIPTION

64       r.statistics is a tool to analyse exploratory statistics of a categori‐
65       cal "cover layer" according to how it  intersects  with  objects  in  a
66       "base  layer".  A variety of standard statistical measures are possible
67       (called "zonal statistics" in some GIS).  All cells in the  base  layer
68       are considered one object for the analysis.  For some applications, one
69       will first want to prepare the input data so that all areas of contigu‐
70       ous  cell  category  values  in the base layer are uniquely identified,
71       which can be done with r.clump.
72       The available methods are the following:
73
74           •   average deviation
75
76           •   average
77
78           •   diversity
79
80           •   kurtosis
81
82           •   maximum
83
84           •   median
85
86           •   minimum
87
88           •   mode
89
90           •   skewness
91
92           •   standard deviation
93
94           •   sum
95
96           •   variance
97       The calculations will be performed on each area of data  of  the  cover
98       layers  which  fall  within each unique value, or category, of the base
99       layer.
100
101       Setting the -c flag the category labels of the  covering  raster  layer
102       will be used.  This is nice to avoid the GRASS limitation to integer in
103       raster maps because using category values floating point numbers can be
104       stored.
105
106       All calculations create an output layer.  The output layer is a reclas‐
107       sified version of the base layer with identical  category  values,  but
108       modified  category  labels - the results of the calculations are stored
109       in the category labels of the output layer.

NOTES

112       For   floating-point   cover   map   support,   see   the   alternative
113       r.stats.zonal.   For  quantile  calculations  with  support  for float‐
114       ing-point cover maps, see the alternative r.stats.quantile.
115

EXAMPLES

117       Calculation of average elevation of each field in the Spearfish region:
118       r.statistics base=fields cover=elevation.dem out=elevstats method=average
119       r.category elevstats
120       r.mapcalc "fieldelev = @elevstats"
121       r.univar fieldelev
122
