NAME
r.li.renyi - Calculates Renyi's diversity index on a raster map
KEYWORDS
raster, landscape structure analysis, diversity index
SYNOPSIS
r.li.renyi
r.li.renyi help
r.li.renyi map=name conf=string alpha=string output=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- map=name
- Name of input raster map
- conf=string
- Configuration file
- alpha=string
- Alpha value is the order of the generalized entropy
- output=name
- Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION
r.li.renyi
calculates the "renyi's diversity index" as:
with:
- H: Renyi entropy
- alpha: order of the generalized entropy
- i: ith class
- S: number of classes
- pi: proportion of the landscape occupied by class i
NOTES
Do not use absolute path names for output files. They are raster if
moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in
~/.r.li/output/ folder.
If the input raster contains NULL value cells, r.li.renyi
returns -1 for these cells.
If you want to keep NULL values instead, run subsequently on the resulting map:
r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map
EXAMPLES
To calculate Renyi's diversity index on map "my_map", using the
previously created "my_conf" configuration file (r.li.setup)
and saving results in "my_out" raster map, run:
r.li.renyi map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out alpha=0.6
NOTES
Do not use absolute path names for output files. They are raster if
moving window disposition was selected, otherwise they are in
~/.r.li/output folder.
If input raster is full of null values r.li.renyi returns -1.
If you want to have null values instead run
r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map
after index calculation.
