How Puma Generates Statistics

The information that Puma produces from a data file consists of statistical summaries for the run of the program. For example, Puma can report the percentage of samples in which each procedure was active; that is, how often control was in the procedure itself or in any of its descendants.

Puma can present statistical information in a variety of ways. For example, you can:

Restrict Puma's analysis to a subset of the samples taken.
Group related procedures into a single entry.
View the statistics in a way that reflects the program's dynamic call structure.

The online documentation describes the various ways you can control the analysis.
