Introduction videos to Analytica
The best place to get started is with Analytica tutorials, covering the core material that you’ll need. You can also follow along as our CTO Lonnie Chrisman walks through building a model. Watch the videos below and learn about what makes Analytica so valuable through the use of influence diagrams, intelligent arrays and how to link your Excel data.
For more, see how others are using Analytica in our webinar series or case study examples.
Introduction tutorials
To build your own models please reference our written Analytica tutorials chapters 4 through 9. Let’s look at a model that has already been built.
In this series:
- Chapter 1: Open a model to browse (8 minutes)
Learn how to open an existing model, calculate results, change inputs and display uncertainty. - Chapter 2: Exploring a model (8 1/2 minutes)
Learn how to examine influence diagrams, variables, attributes, definitions and results — the basic techniques for exploring any Analytica model. - Chapter 3: Analyzing a model (6 minutes)
Learn sensitivity analysis methods, including importance, parametric analysis and comparing decision alternatives. You’ll get your first taste of intelligent arrays.
