When new data is read into the system that could affect the results presented in a dataset created through general
analysis, the Update Analysis tool can be run. This tool can be accessed by right clicking your mouse button on the
Management Tree which will re-run the general analysis function with the latest data contained in the system that
pertains to the general analysis dataset. This is very useful if you are harvesting over multiple days and need to update
the merged dataset or if you make calibrations changes in the monitor that you want applied to your base data and the
merged dataset.

Analysis Wizard (ADVANCED)
The Analysis Wizard provides access to various analysis functions that are available in the software. These functions
are provided in a wizard format to make using them easier and more structured, helping insure that your results don't
contain errors. The Analysis Wizard also allows the management and running of saved analysis function as well as the
ability to run functions in batch and some functions across separate projects.
Most of the analysis function are raster based, meaning all the analysis occurs on gridded data and the results
generated are gridded except for Cluster analysis results which are vector. Most of the functions allow you to specify
the grid size(s) that is used to increase or decrease the resolution of the results and analysis functions. Increasing the
grid size used can also reduce the time it takes for a function to run.
Image datasets can also be used in a number of the analysis functions. If you select an image dataset as an input, you
will have access to three attributes for that image dataset; Image Red, Image Green, and Image Blue bands. These
attributes are dimensionless and their values represent the image pixel values for each band, from 0-255.

Cluster Analysis
This analysis function provides a powerful tool for defining regions in a field of similar data. You define how many
clusters (regions) that should be generated from the input data and selected attributes/properties. For example you
can use it to help identify regions where Yield and Soil pH share a similarity. This tool is sometimes used to help
identify management zones.

Comparison Analysis
This analysis function is an extremely powerful tool for showing relationships between all the various types of data that
you have in your system. It allows you to select a dataset, such as yield data and compare it by soil type, pH values,
etc. You can even perform this function in batch to analysis results across all your fields, farms, years, etc. An example
would be to compare Yield and Moisture values by Field and Soil Type. It can also be run across multiple projects.
