I am running

r.neighbors --overwrite --verbose input=bf03pits@PERMANENT output=bf03pitsdenoise method=mode size=5

in the GRASS GUI using the r.neighbors dialog.

bf03pits has 3955848 all with values either 0 or 1.

When I run r.neighbors the result has 1 cell with a range of -nan to -nan.

Yet the output shows no errors.

Why might r.neighbors be failing? How can I go about doing what I want?

Have you set the region to match your input raster? i.e. g.region rast=bf03pits – si_2012 Mar 15 at 1:00
@si_2012, that was absolutely the problem. Please write your comment up as an answer so I can accept it. Was there some obvious way I should have known that? – Richard Mar 15 at 4:30

Answer written up. There's no obvious way to know this, but with Grass its essential to pay close attention to the region settings. Before running commands, type g.region -p in the command line to make sure the settings are as you expect. – si_2012 Mar 15 at 9:07

In Grass, this sort of problem occurs when the region settings don't match the input raster. Try setting the region to the input raster, i.e. g.region rast=bf03pits, before running r.neighbors.
