r.li.padsd(1)

NAME
r.li.padsd

DESCRIPTION
r.li.padsd (patch area distribution standard deviation) calculates as:
with:

        MPS: mean patch area size

        ai: area of patch i

        Npatch: number of patch

EXAMPLES
To calculate mean pixel attribute index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file and saving results in my_out file run:
r.li.padsd map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out

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 not full of null values r.li.padsd returns a value >=0 that is PADsd.
If input raster is full of null values r.li.padsd returns -1.
If you want to have null values instead run
r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map
after index calculation.
