DESCRIPTION

       r.li.cwed (contrast weighted edge density) calculates the edge density between patch types
       specified:

       with:

           •   k: attribute

           •   m: number of non-null attributes in the sampling area

           •   eik: total length of edge in landscape between patch types i and k

           •
                dik: dissimilarity (edge contrast weight) between patch types i and k

           •   Area: total landscape area
       The  input  file  contains a row for each couple of patch type that we want to consider in
       the calculation. Each row must be saved using this syntax:
       patchType1,patchType2,dissimilarityBetweenPatchType1andPatchType2

NOTES

       Do not use absolute path names for the config and  output  file/map  parameters.   If  the
       "moving  window"  method  was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster
       map,    otherwise    an    ASCII    file    will    be    generated    in    the    folder
       C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\             (MS-Windows)            or
       $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).

       If the sample area contains only NULL values it is considered to have 0 patch and  CWED=0.
       If Area is 0 r.li.cwed returns -1.  This is only possible if the map is masked.
       If you want to change these -1 values to NULL, run subsequently on the resulting map:
       r.null setnull=-1 input=my_map
       after index calculation.

EXAMPLES

       To  calculate  the  contrast  weighted  edge  density  index  on map my_map, using my_conf
       configuration file (previously defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in  my_out,
       run:
       r.li.cwed input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out \
                 path=/path/to/weights.csv
       Example for input "weights.csv" file:
       12,16,0.65
       44,123,0.32
       56,12,0.54
       23,66,0.99
