Thanks Nikos,

Well, actually my training areas are defined as they need to be specific 
features in my location (rock glaciers). I would like to use i.maxlik to 
classify the other pixels of my image (other than rock glaciers, alias my 
training areas). They should be classified as "similar" to my training areas 
with a certain degree (a certain likelihood). The fact I am only using one band 
is driven by the fact that only band 4 of Landsat 7 reflectances shows 
significant difference in value in my training areas than the other 
unclassified areas. Using twice the same band (band 4) is fine, but I am having 
difficulties in grouping the same band. Using i.group for instance recognizes 
that the map is the same and does not add it twice to the group, therefore I 
cannot use i.maxlik.
I don't know if producing textures is the way to go in my case, but I will give 
this a try before rejecting this option. First, however, I need to study this 
function output.
Meanwhile, many thanks to both of you (Veronoca and Nikos)! If you have any 
other useful idea, I will consider them as well.
