## NAME

r.stats.zonal - Calculates category or object oriented statistics (accumulator-based statistics).

## KEYWORDS

raster, statistics, zonal statistics

## SYNOPSIS

r.stats.zonal
r.stats.zonal --help
r.stats.zonal [-cr] base=name cover=name method=string output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

### Flags:

-c
  Cover values extracted from the category labels of the cover map
-r
  Create reclass map with statistics as category labels
--overwrite
  Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
  Print usage summary
--verbose
  Verbose module output
--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

base=name [required]
  Name of base raster map
cover=name [required]
  Name of cover raster map
method=string [required]
  Method of object-based statistic
  Options: count, sum, min, max, range, average, avedev, variance, stddev, skewness, kurtosis, variance2, stddev2, skewness2, kurtosis2
  count: Count of values in specified objects
  sum: Sum of values in specified objects
  min: Minimum of values in specified objects
  max: Maximum of values in specified objects
  range: Range of values (max - min) in specified objects
  average: Average of values in specified objects
  avedev: Average deviation of values in specified objects
  variance: Variance of values in specified objects
  stddev: Standard deviation of values in specified objects
  skewness: Skewness of values in specified objects
  kurtosis: Kurtosis of values in specified objects
  variance2: (2-pass) Variance of values in specified objects
  stddev2: (2-pass) Standard deviation of values in specified objects
  skewness2: (2-pass) Skewness of values in specified objects
  kurtosis2: (2-pass) Kurtosis of values in specified objects
output=name [required]
  Resultant raster map

## DESCRIPTION

r.stats.zonal is a tool to analyse exploratory statistics of a floating-point "cover layer" according to how it intersects with objects in a "base layer". A variety of standard statistical measures are possible (called "zonal statistics" in some GIS).

## NOTES

r.stats.zonal is intended to be a partial replacement for r.statistics, with support for floating-point cover maps at the expense of not supporting quantiles. For this, see r.stats.quantile.

## SEE ALSO

r.quantile, r.stats.quantile, r.statistics
