NAME

r.quantile - Compute quantiles using two passes.

KEYWORDS

raster, algebra, statistics, percentile, quantile

SYNOPSIS

r.quantile
r.quantile --help
r.quantile [-r] input=name [quantiles=integer] [percentiles=float[,float,...]] [bins=integer] [file=name] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-r

Generate recode rules based on quantile-defined intervals
--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:

input=name [required]

Name of input raster map
quantiles=integer

Number of quantiles
Default: 4
percentiles=float[,float,...]

List of percentiles
bins=integer

Number of bins to use
Default: 1000000
file=name

Name for output file (if omitted or "-" output to stdout)

DESCRIPTION

r.quantile computes quantiles in a manner suitable for use with large amounts of data. It is using two passes.

EXAMPLE

Calculation of elevation quantiles (printed to standard-out): 

g.region raster=elevation -p
r.quantile input=elevation percentiles=0.1,1,10,25,50,75,90,99,99.9

The output of r.quantile can be used for quantile classification: 

g.region raster=elevation -p
r.quantile elevation quantiles=5 -r --quiet | r.recode elevation \


           out=elev_quant5 rules=-
