According to this article (24 page PDF), " Learning analytics (LA) have not yet gained much interest among the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) practitioners and researchers and the possible connections between PBL and LA have not yet been properly explored." The authors intent to address that by looking for possible connections. They do find two examples; one, a PBL workshop enriched with a LA dashboard, was of limited use; the other, representing existing surveys from social sciences in a visual form, was more useful. They also find potential in self-directed learning, reflective writing, and discussion support.
