Distribution analysis (e.g. summarize statistics) direct calculation after selection?

[#1]

Dear all,
I´m sure its an easy question - so for you I think its an quick and easy answer :-)

I would like to calculate the data in the distribution-overview based on the selection:

Here for example I would like to see the summary statistics direct after selecting this data (new table calculation). For now I just can see this specific calculation if I Hide and Exclude the unneccesary data in the raw-data-table.

Is this possible?

Im looking forward to your answer. Thanks alot!

perhaps the following,

once you selected the subset go to Tables>>>subset and produce a subset with only the selected rows.

then, if you open the distribution platform and hit the recall button you should get what you are looking for.

Hey ron,
Thank you for your fast response.
With your solution I have a distribution with just the subset-data. This solution is the same compared to "Hide and Exclude" the unneccesary data.
What I am looking for is the same distribution overview, and if i select a subset (e.g. M/F) i want the calculated data based just on this subset.

Perhaps you can use the local data filter?

NamesDefaultToHere(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
dist = dt << Distribution(
					Automatic Recalc( 1 ),
					Continuous Distribution( Column( :height ) ),
					Continuous Distribution( Column( :weight ) ),
					Local Data Filter(
						Add Filter(
							columns( :age, :sex ),
							Display( :age, Size( 160, 90 ), List Display )
						)
					)
				);

Alternatively, you could use a dashboard with a selection filter

Or are you looking to click on the Male/Female distribution, and for it to change the values in the other graphs

Here is an example from the Scripting Index using a Data Filter Source Box

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New Window( "Selection Filter",
	Data Filter Context Box(
		H List Box(
			Data Filter Source Box(
				Graph Builder(
					Size( 208, 207 ),
					Show Control Panel( 0 ),
					Show Legend( 0 ),
					Variables( X( :age ) ),
					Elements( Bar( X, Legend( 3 ) ) ),
					SendToReport(
						Dispatch(
							{},
							"Graph Builder",
							OutlineBox,
							{Set Title( "Filter" )}
						)
					)
				)
			),
			Platform(
				Current Data Table(),
				Bubble Plot(
					X( :weight ),
					Y( :height ),
					Sizes( :age ),
					Title Position( 0, 0 )
				)
			)
		)
	)
);

Here is the code adapted to the example you gave

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New Window( "Selection Filter",
	Data Filter Context Box(
		H List Box(
			Data Filter Source Box( Distribution( Nominal Distribution( Column( :sex ) ) ) ),
			Platform(
				Current Data Table(),
				Distribution(
					Nominal Distribution( Column( :age ) ),
					Continuous Distribution( Column( :height ) ),
					Continuous Distribution( Column( :weight ) )
				)
			)
		)
	)
);

@ian_jmp - thx. the local data filter is a good way to select the data!
@txnelson - I like your solution over the Data Filter Source Box as well.. i rebuild your solution by using your script! But can you show me the solution how i can set up this directly over the jmp software? This would be handy to show this to my College.

I am not understanding what you are asking.

" But can you show me the solution how i can set up this directly over the jmp software?"

Could you provide more details?

[#8]

Sry.. 
If i run your script based on my data,  I get the "Data Filter Context Box". If i select M I get the new graphs and as well the new calculated "Summary statistics". 
Thats excatly how i want it.
My last question here is: How can i set up this without using the script? Is there a solution which i can select in the jmp-software? I want to explain my collegue to set this up without using the script (we don´t have programming skills ;-)) 
Do you understand what I want?

The Dashboard facility in JMP has a template that would allow you to setup such filtering..

     New==>Dashboard==>Hierarchical Filter

One of the great things about Dashboard Builder is that you don't need any programming. JMP add-ins also make it easy to disseminate dashboards to others.

Just as an example, I made the add-in attached in 30 seconds, with no coding. If you double click on it to install, you can then go to the 'Add-Ins' menu and select 'Dashboard' to run it. It will look for file 'Big Class.jmp', which you can find in the sample data.
