Assista Assista, the Analytica's AI assistant is new to Analytica 6.5. It offers a conversational interface that answers questions about Analytica, about your model, and can even help you build your model and write Analytica expressions. It can make your modeling process much faster and more convenient. Like many tools using Large Language Models (LLMs) it can be amazingly helpful, but it isn't 100% reliable. So you still need to apply your human intelligence! You can start it from the new icon in the toolbar. Learn more at Assista.	Database library: A library of functions to make it easy to create, read, update, examine and delete database tables, without having to write SQL.
	Themes Library: Use the Themes Library to quickly update your diagram and graph styles with some new and updated preset themes!
	Weibull estimation library: This library includes functions for estimating Weibull distributions for lifespan or time to failure from data, and to obtain mean, median, and variance, and percentiles of a Weibull from its shape (k) and scale (lamda) parameters (and vice versa).

-This is a wiki -- like for example Wikipedia -- meaning you can edit and add to it, as well as read it. We at Lumina wrote the initial content, and will continue to add more. But, we invite beta testers of Analytica 4.0 (and later all licensed Analytica users) also to contribute. If you are a licensed user and don't have access permission, please email info@lumina.com to get a password.

-So, please, feel free to add your contributions. If you have a question or see information that is missing or unclear, please add your question or comment. If you have an answer, or can clarify or extend existing information, feel free to do so. The software is Mediawiki (as used by Wikipedia). You can add comments in the "Discussion" tab, edit pages with the "Edit" tab, and see changes in the "History" tab. It's also easy to revert to earlier versions if someone makes a mistake.
