r.regression.line(1) - Linux man page

Name

r.regression.line - Calculates linear regression from two raster maps: y = a + b*x

Keywords

raster, statistics

Synopsis

r.regression.line
r.regression.line help
r.regression.line [-g] map1=string map2=string [output=string] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-g: Print in shell script style
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

map1=string: Map for x coefficient
map2=string: Map for y coefficient
output=string: ASCII file for storing regression coefficients (output to screen if file not specified).

Description

r.regression.line Calculates linear regression from two raster maps, according to the formula y = a + b*x, where x and y represent raster maps. Optionally saves regression coefficients to an ASCII file. The result includes the following coefficients: offset/intercept (a) and gain/slope (b), residuals (R), number of elements (N), means (medX, medY), standard deviations (sdX, sdY), and the F test for testing the significance of the regression model as a whole (F).

Example

Comparison of the old and the new DEM in Spearfish:g.region rast=elevation.10m -p r.regression.line map1=elevation.dem map2=elevation.10m

Using the script style flag AND eval to make results available in the shell:g.region rast=elevation.10m -p eval `r.regression.line -g map1=elevation.dem map2=elevation.10m` echo $a 479.615 echo $b 0.645631 echo $R 0.804441
