r.regression.line calculates a linear regression from two
raster maps, according to the formula
y = a + b*x
where
x y
represent the input raster maps.
Optionally, it saves regression coefficients as a ASCII file. The result includes the following coefficients: offset/intercept (a) and gain/slope (b), correlation coefficient (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).
The results for offset/intercept (a) and gain/slope (b) are identical to that obtained from R-stats’s lm() function.
Comparison of two DEMs (SRTM and NED, both at 30m resolution),
provided in the North Carolina sample dataset:
g.region raster=elev_srtm_30m -p r.regression.line mapx=elev_ned_30m mapy=elev_srtm_30m
y = a + b*x
a (Offset): -1.659279
b (Gain): 1.043968
R (sumXY - sumX*sumY/N): 0.894038
N (Number of elements): 225000
F (F-test significance): 896093.366283
meanX (Mean of map1): 110.307571
sdX (Standard deviation of map1): 20.311998
meanY (Mean of map2): 113.498292
sdY (Standard deviation of map2): 23.718307
Using the script style flag AND eval to make results
available in the shell:
g.region raster=elev_srtm_30m -p eval `r.regression.line -g mapx=elev_ned_30m mapy=elev_srtm_30m` # print result stored in respective variables echo $a -1.659279 echo $b 1.043968 echo $R 0.894038
