I very much appreciate working with JMP and am presently using JMP Pro version 16.0.0 for my research. I know that there now are more recent versions available, but I have not presently dared to upgrade in case something happens. I am using it on a Mac Book Pro (Apple M1 Max with 64 GB memory) and JMP works perfectly with this laptop.
I have a statistical question for the community. I presently do research about quality register data and usually use the Analyze/Fit Model for multivariable analyses. In the example below the Y-variable is Intra-and/or postop complications at cholecystectomies (dichotomized to yes or no) and the added x-variables are Sex, ASA-classification, and age and they are also all dichotomized. All of these variables seem to make a difference in the Nominal Logistic equation under Fit Model, se enclosed example.
However, the question I have is that in the register all cholecystectomies are performed at 78 hospitals and although they probably perform cholecystectomies in the same way at all hospitals there can be differences in the way patients are treated, the distance to the hospital etc. Furthermore, the number of cholecystectomies in the database varies from 984 at one hospital (A) to 20 cholecystectomies (B). The question I have is there a way to compensate for the different cholecystectomy volumes in JMP and if so how do I do that? My colleague, who is using SPSS, is talking about mixed modules.
Would very much appreciate an answer.
Sincerely yours
