Does anybody know a smart way to calculate for X rasters per raster cell the
rank order of those rasters? For example, if I have three rasters X1, X2 and
X3:

X1   X2   X3
1      3     2
2      5     8
5     1      3
NA  8      2

would give three new raster layers with the values:

Y1   Y2   Y3
1      3     2
1      2     3
3      1     2
NA   2    1

I am now reading the rasters in R and using a combination of apply() and
rank() function to create new raster layers:

in <- c("X1",  "X2", "X3")
lyrs <- readRAST6(in)
tmp <- apply(lyrs@data, 1, function(x){
     rank(x, na.last="keep", ties.method="average")
})
lyrs@data <- t(tmp)

I am sure there are better ways in R, but especially when dealing with very
large raster layers, I was hoping there is a way to do this directly in
GRASS GIS. Or otherwise, would it be difficult to create a function for
this?

I don't know if the result is what you are looking for but with python
I do something like this

from grass.pygrass.raster import RasterNumpy
import scipy.stats as sstats
map = RasterNumpy('YOURMAP')
map.open()
newmap =  RasterNumpy('YOURNEWMAP', 'w')
newmap.open()
i = 0
for row in map:
     newmap[i] = sstats.rankdata(row)
     i+=1
newmap.close()
map.close()

I tested it, but when I close the map it return the error "Bus error"

Hi Luca,

Thanks.. I don't know much about Python unfortunately, so it is difficult for me to see exactly what it does. I'll try to see if I get this to work, and see if I understand the output.

Cheers

Paulo
