using the r.covar module are different from the R layerStats function. I
suspect this is due to handling of null cells. The R function has a
parameter to remove NA cells, but the GRASS module, I think, just loops
over all cells, including no value.

because of the "continue;", count is not incremented if any cell value is
null
