This menu is hierarchical. Each library lists the functions or other constructs it contains. The middle partition lists built-in libraries. At the bottom, are any libraries you have created or added. If you view and select a subitem when editing a definition, it pastes it into the definition.

Description
|
Edit Definition
|
Opens the appropriate view for editing the definition of the selected variable. If the variable is defined as a distribution or sequence, the
Object Finder opens. If it is defined as a table or probability table, its edit table window opens. Otherwise, an Object window or Attribute
panel opens, depending on the Edit attributes setting in the Preferences dialog (page 54).
|
Edit Time
|
Opens the Object window for the Time system variable. See “The Time index” on page 322.
|
Paste Identifier
|
Opens the Object Finder dialog for examining functions and variable identifiers, entering function parameters, and pasting them into definitions. See “Object Finder dialog” on page 112.
|
Show Invalid
Variables
|
Displays a window listing all variables with invalid or missing definitions. See “Invalid variables” on page 355.
|
Math
|
See “Math functions” on page 145.
|
Array
|
See Chapter 11, “Arrays and Indexes,” and Chapter 12, “More Array Functions.”
|
Distribution
|
See Chapter 15, “Probability Distributions.”
|
Special
|
Displays a list of unusual or less commonly used functions in the Special library.
|
Statistical
|
See “Statistical functions” on page 296.
|
Operators
|
Arithmetic, comparison, logical, and conditional operators. See “Operators” on page 142.
|
System Variables
|
System Variables submenu (see below).
|
Matrix
|
See “Matrix functions” on page 224.
|
Text Functions

|
Database
|
Appears only in Analytica Enterprise. See “Database functions” on page 410.
|
Optimizer
|
Appears only if you have the Optimizer activated. See Optimizer Guide for more.
|
your libraries
|
Lists the names of any libraries that you have defined or added to the model, each with a submenu that lists the functions contained in the library. See Chapter 20, “Building Functions and Libraries.”

Description
|
AnalyticaEdition
|
The edition of Analytica running, either “Optimizer”, “Enterprise”, “Professional”, “Free 101”, “Power Player”, “Player”, “Trial”, “Lite”, “ADE” or “ADE Optimizer”.
|
AnalyticaPlatform
|
The operating system/platform. In Analytica for Windows, this is “Windows,” in Analytica for Macintosh, this is “Macintosh,” and in the Analytica Decision Engine this is “ADE.”
|
AnalyticaVersion
|
An integer encoding the current build number of Analytica being run. In terms of the major release number, minor release number, and sub-minor release number, it is equal to:
''10K*Major + 100*Minor + SubMinor''
For example, Analytica 4.1 subminor version 2 returns the value 40102.
|
False
|
The logical (Boolean) constant that evaluates numerically to zero.
|
IssampleEvalMode
|
This is 1 when evaluated in Sample mode, or 0 when evaluated in Mid mode. You can use this in an expression when you need to compute a mid value differently than a probabilistic value.
|
Null
|
A special system constant, returned by various functions when data does not exist at a requested location, and ignored by array-reducing functions when present in the cells of an array. See “Exception values INF, NAN, and NULL” on page 148.
|
Pi
|
The ratio of circumference to the diameter of a circle.
|
Run
|
The index for uncertainty sampling, defined as
Sequence(1, Samplesize).
|
SampleSize
|
The number of sample iterations for probabilistic simulation. See “Uncertainty Setup dialog” on page 257.
|
SampleWeighting
|
When this variable to an array indexed by Run, a different weight can be assigned to each probabilistic sample point. See “Importance weighting” on page 291.
|
SvdIndex
|
The SingularValueDecomp() function returns three matrices, 'U', 'W', and 'V'. To return all three at once, the return value is an array indexed by SvdIndex, which is equal to ['U','W','V'].
|
Time
|
The index variable identifying the dimension for dynamic simulation (the Dynamic() function). See “The Time index” on page 322.
|
True
|
The logical (Boolean) constant that evaluates numerically to nonzero.
