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 • average deviation
75 • average
77 • diversity
79 • kurtosis
81 • maximum
83 • median
85 • minimum
87 • mode
89 • skewness
91 • standard deviation
93 • sum
95 • 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 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 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.

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.
