BayesiaLab Use Analysis

This analysis can be accessed via Main Menu > Help > Use Analysis.

By tracking the usage of each menu in BayesiaLab’s menu bar, it is possible to create a graphical analysis of tool usage.

The window contains a tree of BayesiaLab’s menus on the left-hand side. Each item can be selected, and the usage chart appears on the right as a pie chart. Pie charts can be displayed in two formats that can be selected by the options on the right:

  • Use percentage indicates the number of used functions and the number of never-used functions.
  • Detailed use indicates the number of times each function was used.

The following figure shows the overall use of BayesiaLab, i.e., the number of functions used (red) and the number of functions never used (green). Move the mouse pointer to display a tooltip corresponding to the specified area.
