Note that most parameters accept multiple answers, allowing multiple
aggregates to be computed in a single run, e.g.:
.PP
.br
.nf
\fC
r.series input=map1,...,mapN \(rs
         output=map.mean,map.stddev \(rs
	 method=average,stddev
\fR
.fi
or:
.PP
.br
.nf
\fC
r.series input=map1,...,mapN \(rs
         output=map.p10,map.p50,map.p90 \(rs
         method=quantile,quantile,quantile \(rs
         quantile=0.1,0.5,0.9
\fR
.fi
The same number of values must be provided for all options.
.SH NOTES
.SS No\-data (NULL) handling
With \fI\-n\fR flag, any cell for which any of the corresponding
input cells are NULL is automatically set to NULL (NULL propagation).
The aggregate function is not called, so all methods behave this way
with respect to the \fI\-n\fR flag.
.PP
Without \fI\-n\fR flag, the complete list of inputs for each cell
(including NULLs) is passed to the aggregate function. Individual
aggregates can handle data as they choose. Mostly, they just compute
the aggregate over the non\-NULL values, producing a NULL result only if
all inputs are NULL.
.SS Minimum and maximum analysis
The \fImin_raster\fR and \fImax_raster\fR methods generate a map
with the number of the raster map that holds the minimum/maximum value
of the time\-series. The numbering starts at \fI0\fR up to \fIn\fR
for the first and the last raster listed in \fIinput=\fR,
respectively.
.SS Range analysis
If the \fIrange=\fR option is given, any values which fall outside
that range will be treated as if they were NULL. The \fIrange\fR
parameter can be set to \fIlow,high\fR thresholds: values outside of
this range are treated as NULL (i.e., they will be ignored by most
aggregates, or will cause the result to be NULL if \-n is given). The
\fIlow,high\fR thresholds are floating point, so use \fI\-inf\fR
or \fIinf\fR for a single threshold (e.g., \fIrange=0,inf\fR to
ignore negative values, or \fIrange=\-inf,\-200.4\fR to ignore values
above \-200.4).
.SS Linear regression
Linear regression (slope, offset, coefficient of determination,
t\-value) assumes equal time intervals. If the data have irregular time
intervals, NULL raster maps can be inserted into time series to make
time intervals equal (see example).
.SS Quantiles
\fIr.series\fR can calculate arbitrary quantiles.
.SS Memory consumption
Memory usage is not an issue, as \fIr.series\fR only needs to hold
one row from each map at a time.
.SS Management of open file limits
Number of raster maps to be processed is given by the limit of the
operating system. For example, both the hard and soft limits are
typically 1024. The soft limit can be changed with e.g. ulimit \-n 1500
(UNIX\-based operating systems) but not higher than the hard
limit. If it is too low, you can as superuser add an entry in
.br
.nf
\fC
/etc/security/limits.conf
# <domain>      <type>  <item>         <value>
your_username  hard    nofile          1500
\fR
.fi
This would raise the hard limit to 1500 file. Be warned that more
files open need more RAM. See also the Wiki page
Hints for large raster data processing.
.PP
For each map a weighting factor can be specified using the
\fIweights\fR option. Using weights can be meaningful when computing
sum or average of maps with different temporal extent. The default
weight is 1.0. The number of weights must be identical with the number
of input maps and must have the same order. Weights can also be
specified in the input file.
.PP
Use the \fIfile\fR option to analyze large amount of raster maps
without hitting open files limit and the size limit of command line
arguments. The computation is slower than the \fIinput\fR option
method. For every sinlge row in the output map(s) all input maps are
opened and closed. The amount of RAM will rise linear with the number
of specified input maps. The input and file options are mutually
exclusive. Input is a text file with a new line separated list of
raster map names and optional weights. As separator between the map
name and the weight the character \(dq|\(dq must be used.
.SH EXAMPLES
Using \fIr.series\fR with wildcards:
.br
.br
.nf
\fC
r.series input=\(dq\(gag.list pattern=\(cqinsitu_data.*\(cq sep=,\(ga\(dq \(rs
         output=insitu_data.stddev method=stddev
\fR
.fi
.PP
Note the \fIg.list\fR script also supports regular expressions for
selecting map names.
.PP
Using \fIr.series\fR with NULL raster maps (in order to consider a
\(dqcomplete\(dq time series):
.br
.br
.nf
\fC
r.mapcalc \(dqdummy = null()\(dq
r.series in=map2001,map2002,dummy,dummy,map2005,map2006,dummy,map2008 \(rs
         out=res_slope,res_offset,res_coeff meth=slope,offset,detcoeff
\fR
.fi
.PP
Example for multiple aggregates to be computed in one run (3 resulting aggregates
from two input maps):
.br
.nf
\fC
r.series in=one,two out=result_avg,res_slope,result_count meth=sum,slope,count
\fR
.fi
.PP
Example to use the file option of r.series:
.br
.nf
\fC
cat > input.txt << EOF
map1
map2
map3
EOF
r.series file=input.txt out=result_sum meth=sum
\fR
.fi
.PP
Example to use the file option of r.series including weights. The
weight 0.75 should be assigned to map2. As the other maps do not have
weights we can leave it out:
.br
.nf
\fC
cat > input.txt << EOF
map1
map2|0.75
map3
EOF
r.series file=input.txt out=result_sum meth=sum
\fR
.fi
.PP
Example for counting the number of days above a certain temperature using
daily average maps (\(cq???\(cq as DOY wildcard):
.br
.nf
\fC
# Approach for shell based systems
r.series input=\(gag.list rast pattern=\(dqtemp_2003_???_avg\(dq sep=,\(ga \(rs
         output=temp_2003_days_over_25deg range=25.0,100.0 method=count
# Approach in two steps (e.g., for Windows systems)
g.list rast pattern=\(dqtemp_2003_???_avg\(dq output=mapnames.txt
r.series file=mapnames.txt \(rs
         output=temp_2003_days_over_25deg range=25.0,100.0 method=count
