   Parameters:
       input=name [required]
           Name of input raster map

       config=name [required]
           Configuration file

       output=name [required]
           Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

       r.li.pielou  calculates the "Pielou’s diversity index" as:
       with:

           •   J: Pielou eveness index

           •   H’: Shannon index

           •   S: number of classes

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 input raster contains NULL value cells, r.li.pielou returns NULL for these cells.

EXAMPLES

       To calculate Pielou’s diversity 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.pielou input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

       Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
       r.li.pielou input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_pielou_mov7
       r.univar forests_pielou_mov7

       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
       r.li.pielou input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_pielou_mov7
       # verify
       r.univar forests_pielou_mov7
       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
       d.mon wx0
       d.rast forests_pielou_mov7
       d.vect forests type=boundary
