R and ArcMap not showing the same raster values

Question

I imported one of my rasters into ArcMap to see how it is displayed in this program and noticed that it's values do not correspond to the same values I had in R.

Here are some screen caps:

Info about raster in ArcMap:

Same layer, same source, same format, but different values.. why? R seems to display the correct values whereas ArcMap doesn't.

Answer 1

R is displaying scientific notation whereas ArcGIS is displaying nonsense because the data is an ASCII Grid format and does not have associated statistics. To get ArcMAP to display real values, expand the catalog window, navigate to the ASCII Grid, right-click on the grid and select "Calculate Statistics". Then you can drag-and-drop the grid directly into ArcMAP. You could also use the Calculate Statistics tool under Data Management in the ArcToolbox.
