NAME
v.univar - Calculates univariate statistics of vector map features.
Variance and standard deviation is calculated only for points if specified.
KEYWORDS
vector,
statistics,
univariate statistics,
attribute table,
geometry
SYNOPSIS
v.univar
v.univar --help
v.univar [-gewd] map=name [layer=string] [type=string[,string,...]] [column=name] [where=sql_query] [percentile=integer] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
- -g
- Print the stats in shell script style
- -e
- Calculate extended statistics
- -w
- Weigh by line length or area size
- -d
- Calculate geometric distances instead of attribute statistics
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
- map=name [required]
- Name of vector map
- Or data source for direct OGR access
- layer=string
- Layer number or name
- Vector features can have category values in different layers. This number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
- Default: 1
- type=string[,string,...]
- Input feature type
- Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area
- Default: point,line,area
- column=name
- Name of attribute column
- where=sql_query
- WHERE conditions of SQL statement without 'where' keyword
- Example: income < 1000 and population >= 10000
- percentile=integer
- Percentile to calculate (requires extended statistics flag)
- Options: 0-100
- Default: 90
v.univar calculates univariate statistics on (by default) an attribute
of, or, through the
-d flag on distance between, vector map features.
Attributes are read per feature and per category value. This means that if the
map contains several features with the same category value, the attribute is
read as many times as there are features. On the other hand, if a feature has
more than one category value, each attribute value linked to each of the
category values of the feature is read. For statistics on one attribute
per category value, instead of one attribute per feature and per category,
see
v.db.univar.
Extended statistics (-e) adds median, 1st and 3rd quartiles, and 90th
percentile to the output.
When using the
-d flag, univariate statistics of distances
between vector features are calculated. The distances from all features
to all other features are used. Since the distance from feature A to
feature B is the same like the distance from feature B to feature A,
that distance is considered only once, i.e. all pairwise distances
between features are used. Depending on the selected vector
type, distances are calculated as follows:
- type=point: point distances are considered;
- type=line: line to line distances are considered;
- type=area: not supported, use type=centroid instead (and see
v.distance for calculating distances
between areas)
The examples are based on the North Carolina sample dataset.
