NAME
r.stats.quantile - Compute category quantiles using two passes.

KEYWORDS
raster, statistics, percentile, quantile

SYNOPSIS
r.stats.quantile
r.stats.quantile --help
r.stats.quantile [-rpt] base=name cover=name [quantiles=integer] [percentiles=float[,float,...]] [bins=integer] [output=name[,name,...]] [file=name] [separator=character] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

  Flags:

--help
    Print usage summary

--verbose
    Verbose module output

--quiet
    Quiet module output

--ui
    Force launching GUI dialog

    Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
    Default: :

DESCRIPTION
r.stats.quantile is a tool to analyse exploratory statistics of a floating-point "cover layer" according to how it intersects with objects in a "base layer". It provides quantile calculations as selected "zonal statistics".

NOTES
r.stats.quantile is intended to be a partial replacement for r.statistics, with support for floating-point cover maps. It provides quantile calculations, which are absent from r.stats.zonal.

EXAMPLE
In this example, the raster polygon map zipcodes in the North Carolina sample dataset is used to calculate quantile raster statistics using the elevation raster map:

g.region raster=zipcodes -p
# print quantiles
r.stats.quantile base=zipcodes cover=elevation quantiles=3 -p
27511:0:33.333333:134.717392
27511:1:66.666667:143.985723
27513:0:33.333333:140.669993
27513:1:66.666667:146.279449
27518:0:33.333333:115.140101
27518:1:66.666667:129.893723
[...]
# write out percentile raster maps
r.stats.quantile base=zipcodes cover=elevation percentiles=25,50,75 \
  output=zipcodes_elev_q25,zipcodes_elev_q50,zipcodes_elev_q75
