Make a Measures Collection

How To... > Create Simulations > Collect Measures and Other Results > Make a Measures Collection

A measures collection is a derived collection (see Derived Collections) whose attributes correspond to measures in its source and whose cases correspond to individual runs of the simulation. To make a measures collection:

Drag-and-Drop Method

1.	Make a new, empty collection, for example, by dragging one off the shelf.

2.	Drop a measure’s name onto this new collection. (Drag it from the source collection inspector’s Measures panel.)

Menu Method

1.	Select the collection from which you want to collect measures.

2.	Choose Collection \| Collect Measures.

The measures collection appears, and five sets of measures (the default) are collected. The name of the measures collection tells you what it is derived from. You can use a measures collection in all the ways you would any other collection: make case tables, graphs, and summary tables from it; assign new attributes computed from the collected measures; and so on.

•Control this process in the Collect Measures panel of the measures collection’s inspector (see Collect Measures Panel).
