Passage Analysis
I am trying to determine what the passage analysis is. Right now, I am studying Romans 1:1-17 and want to analyze the passage. What is this screenshot showing?

Check the details in the Help resource for "Version River" under the Passage Analysis section (hitting F1 from that screen will open the Help resource, and from there you can scroll down to the section on Version River).

Creates a graphical display of the differences between Bible versions on a verse-by-verse basis...
...The variance is computed based on differences in word usage between the versions.

I was going to recommend its use as artwork above the livingroom sofa.
I remember Bob trying to explain the cluster graph. It's interesting they couldn't put an explanation in the display, or at least a popup.
Just clicking around:
- The forward/reverse word tree was reversed on first display.
- The lower greying of selected tool shows for 2 at the same time
- There's no clue what's going on in morph river, if you don't choose the right ???.
- The cluster graph can't be zoomed. So, if there's outllyers, it's just one big blob of circles.
- On the version river, I don't see anywhere to select versions (Sirach). I'm not sure how it selected the non-compatable versions. I clicked on the 1 version ... took me to that version.
- No '?' connections to the Help reference; that'd be pretty obvious.
- In the panel info box, it says use the F1 to get info on the tool; F1 changes the brightness on the Mac.
And no need to respond ... I doubt they care one way or the other, since the conversation began in 2009.

Strange - on my Mac it opens the Help file to the appropriate place.

I'm on a Mac MBP M1 version (after they got rid of the tailorable function keys). The little icons for F1 and F2 are brightness (and indeed). I'm sure there's some sort of combo.
But I did go to the Help file; wasn't very helpful finding the referenced items it assumes users know about.

I documented these in a reading list years ago (and had a tussle with someone as to the technical name of the graph ... something sufficiently funny that I still remember it and use it to remember these are documented.) If I have time today, I'll try to track it down. But if you have to ask, you'll probably need to read up a bit on statistical textual linguistics.

This response made my day! I don't get the passage analysis either, but it's pretty. The very idea of having to get my mind around all of that information to understand the graph makes me want to curl into a call and watch Sesame Street!
What it tells me is that Logos is useful to a very broad variety of levels of expertise across a very broad level of academic disciplines.

Exactly. And Logos does try, usually successfully, to present the information in a way that a one hour talk on the subject would get many people to follow arguments based on the information but not interpret the information for themselves. But without that one hour talk the appropriate response of most people should be a blank stare. In the case of the river diagrams in the Passage Guide one is looking for changes in the pattern.
