Libraries table

This table lists the 50 Analytica libraries described in these docs. A library contains functions (and sometimes other objects) that you can add to any model to extend Analytica's built-in functions.

Sort the table by clicking a column heading, for example to group libraries by Domain or Methods.
Search for a keyword with your browser's Find (Ctrl+F).
Installed means the library is in the Libraries folder of your Analytica installation. To add it to your model, select Add Library... from the File menu. See Standard libraries.
For other libraries, use the Download file link, save the file, then use Add Library... to add it to your model. See Additional libraries.

For example models, see the Examples table. To create your own library, see User-defined Functions and Libraries.
