Functional Data Explorer's FDOE model flexibility

anchildress — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 13:38:53 GMT

I am using Functional Data Explorer in JMP Pro v19 to perform a Functional DOE analysis. One of my supplementary variables has three levels, and the platform defaults to including its quadratic term in the resulting Generalized Regression model.

Is it possible to specify the model terms in the FDOE Generalized Regression model (e.g. restrict the FDOE analysis to linear effects only)? I see that you can force the inclusion of terms within the Advanced Controls, but I want to force the exclusion of terms.

I have also considered modeling with the supplementary variables using the Fit Curve platform's Curve DOE Analysis, but I'm seeing the same issue of inflexibility with being able to specify the Generalized Regression model.

Hi @anchildress ,

The model will follow along what the 'Model' script in the data table follows. So if I take the example from "Mill DOE" in the sample data folder:

That makes the terms in the FDOE follow (Ie flow is quadratic)

If I change the term (ie remove the Flow x Flow term) then it will change (see how 'Flow' is now linear), so in your case, go to the 'Model' and make everything linear.

Hope that helps!
Thanks,

Ben

This is perfect. Thanks so much, Ben :)
