it removes the 'median' option from the 'Statistics type' field.
Hi Leah,It is true that some statistical functions are not available with floating data. These are; MEDIAN, MAJORITY, MINORITY and VARIETY. Those functions require a histogram and this is not present with floating data.To avoid this you could convert your data to Integer. In order to reduce loss of precision you could multiply your raster with for instance 100 (e.g. express it in cm instead of m), perform the Zonal Statistics and divide the result with the same factor (e.g. 100). In Python this could look like:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
YourOutputRaster = Divide(Float(ZonalStatistics("YourZoneRaster","Value",Int(Times("YourFloatingDataRaster",100)),"MEDIAN","DATA")),100)
Kind regards,
