## NAME

t.rast.univar - Calculates univariate statistics from the non-null cells for each registered raster map of a space time raster dataset.

## KEYWORDS

temporal, statistics, raster, time

## SYNOPSIS

t.rast.univar
t.rast.univar --help
t.rast.univar [-eru] input=name [output=name] [where=sql_query] [separator=character] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

### Flags:

-e
  Calculate extended statistics
-r
  Ignore the current region settings and use the raster map regions for univar statistical calculation
-u
  Suppress printing of column names
--overwrite
  Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
  Print usage summary
--verbose
  Verbose module output
--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

input=name [required]
  Name of the input space time raster dataset
output=name
  Name for output file
where=sql_query
  WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword used in the temporal GIS framework
  Example: start_time > '2001-01-01 12:30:00'
separator=character
  Field separator character between the output columns
  Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
  Default: pipe

## DESCRIPTION

t.rast.univar calculates univariate statistics from the non-null cells for each registered raster map of a space time raster dataset.

By default it returns the name of the map, the start and end date of dataset and the following values: mean, minimum and maximum vale, mean_of_abs, standard deviation, variance, coeff_var, number of null cells, total number of cell.

Using the e flag it can calculate also extended statistics: first quartile, median value, third quartile and percentile 90.

## EXAMPLE

Obtain the univariate statistics for the raster space time dataset "tempmean_monthly" (precision reduced to 2 decimals in this example):

    t.rast.univar -e tempmean_monthly
    id|start|end|mean|min|max|mean_of_abs|stddev|variance|coeff_var|sum|null_cells|cells|first_quartile|median|third_quartile|percentile_90
