Analysis Option

OneFunViet — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 17:21:03 GMT

I had JMP data files that I need to determine what is best analysis plot or model to use. I have X-Y axis that variable that response to Z value. I want to use that best analysis model/plot to determine the behavior and response. I include the JMP with changed of labels avoid giving away the detail of the work. Z axis that I am interesting in the thickness of materials in well. Thank you.

It sounds like you are trying to see the relationships between your inputs/controls and Lay Thickness. If that is the case, you could think about fitting a linear regression model in Analyze > Fit Model. You could also consider using one of the options in Analyze > Predictive Modeling.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did consider the FIT Model. I tried your suggestion for Predictive model and try Neural and Partition. I am confuse what does those suggest?

Can you provide more detail about the nature of your data - how derived and the meaning of the variables? You have 2 Thickness variables (you said that you wanted to explain the thickness), but those two variables look like a designed experiment to span a two-dimensional range of thickness measurements. I don't see any randomness is either of those. Instead, you have 4 continuous factors that appear to exhibit randomness. So, it looks to me like the data is from a designed experiment with combinations of these 4 factors that result in those fixed combinations of 2 dimensional thickness. I'm not a DOE person, but there are many in this community and I'm pretty sure they can help you with the analysis - but it doesn't look like a standard prediction model to me. I think some more details about the nature of the data and how it was collected would be most useful to the community.
