# Edit the Analysis profile

Aim

▪To change the properties and settings of a dependent variable

▪To make multiple instances of a dependent variable

▪To rename a dependent variable

▪To remove a dependent variable from the Analysis profile

After editing the Analysis profile, re-run analysis (Analysis > Results > ...).

To modify the properties of a dependent variable

You can change the properties of a dependent variable at any time, for example to add one more statistic.

1.Open the Analysis profile that contains the dependent variable you want to modify.

2.Under Selected Dependent Variables, double-click the dependent variable.

3.Edit the variable's properties.

For how to modify the variable's properties, choose the variable in Dependent Variables in Detail and see the How to specify section.

4.Choose Analysis > Results > Statistics and Charts, then click the Calculate button.

You can also modify a dependent variable directly in the Statistics result. Right-click the dependent variable header and select Properties. Change the properties of the variable, then click the Calculate button.

To calculate multiple instances of a dependent variable

You can add multiple instances of a dependent variable to an Analysis profile. This is handy when you want to compare the effect of different settings on the same dependent variable. For example, two instances of Mobility with different Mobility thresholds.

1.Open the Analysis profile that contains the dependent variable.

2.Right-click the dependent variable under Selected Dependent Variables and select Duplicate. A new row is appended under Selected Dependent Variables.

3.Double-click the new row and set the properties you require for the new instance of the dependent variable.

Additional instances of a dependent variable are given names with a progressive number (for example, Distance moved 2, Distance moved 3, etc.). You can rename those variables (see below).

To rename a dependent variable

1.Open the Analysis profile that contains the dependent variable.

2.Under Selected Dependent Variables, right-click the variable's name and select Rename.

3.Type in the name you want to give and press Enter.

To remove a dependent variable from the Analysis profile

Under Selected Dependent Variables click the variable’s name and press Delete, or right-click the variable's name and select Delete.
