One other thing, you want to collect statistics for your clipped raster, so when you clip the raster make sure that you tick 'no data value' and enter a value of (say) -3. This will set the value of the pixels in your clipped raster that lie outside of your area of interest to 'null' and they

I think the first thing to do is clip the raster to your area of interest using the vector polygon. Raster - Extraction - Clipper. Select the polygon shapefile as the mask layer. To get the statistics load the clipped raster, right-click on it in the layers panel, select Properties and then click
