This section of Fathom Help is for those who want to understand how Fathom fits together. You won’t learn much that’s immediately practical, but reading this section will help you get better at figuring things out. Fathom presents a simple interface to the beginning user: ten objects on a shelf and seven menus. You can get started quickly and go far just by dragging attributes from a case table to a graph. But beneath this simple surface lies enormous possibility for embellishing graphs with lines and functions, building probability simulations, doing statistical inference via resampling techniques, constructing parameterized mathematical models, and much more. As your interests in and capabilities with data analysis and mathematics grow, Fathom will keep pace with you, allowing you to tap into undiscovered features and ways of accomplishing things.
