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.

       Quantiles  are calculated following algorithm 7 from Hyndman and Fan (1996), which is also
       the default in R and numpy.

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
