Analyses are set of Plots and data transformations made on a Dataset. Analyses are made up of cells — each containing a Dataset or Plot. At any time in an Analysis you can undo your most recent action using the history icon at the upper right or by using a Keyboard Shortcut.

You can see the list of your Analyses in the Analysis Library.

Analysis Components

An Analysis is built of multiple components.

• Cells are the sections of the Anlysis where you van view a Plot or a Datatable. New cells are created when you add a Transformation, Curve, or Statitstical Test. New cells can also be added manually to include an additional Dataset in the Analysis.
  
• Analysis options are present in a toolbar on the top of each cell in the Analysis Toolbar. These options allow you to add analyze data, add Plots, exclude outliers, and save the current cell as a new Dataset.
  
• Data table options are present at the top of each datatable and allow you to show/hide columns, add filters, group data, and add custom columns. These options are present in the Data Table Toolbar.
  

How to Create an Analysis

1

Creating an Analysis

You can create a new Analysis from a Dataset or from the Analysis Library. Creating a new Anaysis will take you to a new page where you can begin defining the Analysis.

2

Selecting a Dataset

Analyses are built using existing Datasets in Sphinx. If you have not yet created a Dataset, visit Creating a Dataset, otherwise select a Dataset in the first cell in the analysis.

3

Defining Data Transformations

Using the Analysis Options you can add multiple Transformations, Curves, or Statitstical Tests.

This will result in a contextual form or selection so you can select the data to use. After you select “Transform Data” button, a new cell will be created with the resulting analysis.

4

Creating a Plot

To create a Plot, you can select the “Add Chart” option from the Analysis Options. This will create a new cell with a Plot where you can select a Plot type.

Many options are available for customizing the Plot such as colors, scales, and sizing. The Plot will be available in the in the Plot Library or can be downloaded from the cell using the download icon.

Once you have created an Analysis you can share with your collaborators using the “Share” option.

Advanced Topics

Analysis Options

Multiple analysis options are available, and more are added periodically. If you’d like an additional option, please contact our team using the “Get Support” button at the top of the screen.

Transformations

Data transformations involve converting data from one format or structure to another. This process is essential to make data usable and meaningful. Using this kind of analysis will create a new cell in your Analysis.

Curves

Curves calculate the key metrics and parameters for multiple curve types. Using this kind of analysis will create a new cell in your Analysis.

Read more about this in Curve Fitting.

Statitstical Tests

Statictical Tests are used to determine if a hypothesis is well supported by the data. Using this kind of analysis will create a new cell in your Analysis.

Plot Types

Many Plot types are available for you to add to an Analysis. More are added periodically and the current list is as follows.

• Scatter
• Bar
• Line
• Box
• Histogram
• Heatmap
• Fitted Curves

Other Plot Types

In addition to the Plot types above, certain Datasets can have additional Plots added.

• Plate Viewer
• MSA Viewer
• PDB Viewer
