I have seen in some of the tutorials, a number of functions available on the ESP8266 that I can't find any documentation on. One such function was ledcAnalogWrite(), however there are more. Where can I find this information.

ledcAnalogWrite does not exist as a documented function.
It is a user-defined subroutine in the sample code in the documentation you were (presumably) reading at ...

sj_h1 @will ledcWrite is a valid call, not Analog. See randomnerds, I use it to control the led brightnes, I think it uses PWM. You also need ledcSetup and ledcAttachPin to establish PWM frequencies and duty cycles.

Arduino says and I agree, in general, the const keyword is preferred for defining constants and should be used instead of #define

I know. The specific sub he asked about "ledcAnalogWrite" does not exist.
It is, however, created in the sample software appearing within the ESP documentation on the URL that I specified. The confusion is the OP not recognizing that the sub was NOT part of the official set of software provided.
