How to draw a custom interval?

Ling-Zecheng — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 06:20:05 GMT

I want to draw a graph like this, and I have my data “relative bias” “lower 90% bias” “upper 90% bias” also target potency for x axis.

I opened graph builder, and drug relative bias to y axis, target potency to x axis. and set error interval as custom interval, interval style as error bar. But I noticed that I can only put one of 90% relative bias in the interval box, where it automatically +- with the relative bias. However, I calculated that 90% upper and lower with exp(), so only one interval filling does not reflect the true circumstance. However should I do?

Which JMP version are you using? I'm using JMP18 and I think you should be able to use Custom Interval and add your limit columns to Interval graph zone

Agreed, the Interval Dop Zone in Graph Builder is the way to do this. Your data table will need to have columns like:

Target Potency

Relative Bias

Relative Bias +

Relative Bias -

Then, create the Graph Builder with Target Potency in the X Role, Relative Bias in Y, and both Relative Bias + and Relative Bias - in the Interval Role. This creates your asymmetric upper and lower error bars. (No need to set Error Interval to Custom, it can be left in Auto).

Looks like this:

Here is the script you can run to recreate my table and graph:

New Table( "Untitled 218",
	Add Rows( 6 ),
	New Script(
		"Graph Builder",
		Graph Builder(
			Size( 660, 549 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Variables(
				X( :Target Potency ),
				Y( :Relative Bias ),
				Interval( :"Rel Bias +"n ),
				Interval( :"Rel Bias -"n )
			),
			Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ) ),
			SendToReport(
				Dispatch( {}, "Relative Bias", ScaleBox,
					{Format( "Best", 12 ), Min( -31.735686873312925 ),
					Max( 32.651231987799235 ), Inc( 10 ), Minor Ticks( 1 ),
					Add Ref Line( 0, "Sparse Dash", "Black", "", 5 )}
				),
				Dispatch( {}, "400", ScaleBox,
					{Legend Model(
						3,
						Type Properties( 0, "Marker", {Line Color( 21 )} ),
						Properties(
							0,
							{Line Color( 21 )},
							Item ID( "Relative Bias", 1 )
						)
					)}
				)
			)
		)
	),
	New Column( "Target Potency",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200] )
	),
	New Column( "Relative Bias",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [6, 8, 6, 2, 4, 3] )
	),
	New Column( "Rel Bias +",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [13, 12, 8, 3, 8, 6] )
	),
	New Column( "Rel Bias -",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [-1, 6, 3, -0.5, -1, -1] )
	)
)
