Data analysis can be done using the features of a Ravel alone. As
well as enabling the selection of display of different segments of
multidimensional data, you can perform basic data analysis by collapsing
the axes of a Ravel and applying various aggregations:
- Summing an axis;
- Multiplying axis elements by each other;
- Extracting the maximum or minimum values along an axis;
- Calculating the average along an axis;
- Calculating the standard deviation of an axis; and
More advanced analysis can be performed by attaching the output of
a Ravel to a variable (preferably via a Lock, so that
the contents of the variable are unaffected by any subsequent manipulations
of the Ravel), and analysing it using Ravel's mathematical
operators. For more details see Operations.
