• How are the crossvalidation statistics defined in Partition?

  The k-fold crossvalidation method randomly divides all of the (non-excluded) rows in the datatable, D, into k subsets: D₁, D₂, . . . , D_k. Each row is randomly assigned to one of the k groups. First, a model is fit using all of the data. Then, K different models are fit, using the same splits, with data from D - D_i, where D_i is the holdout fold. For continuous responses, the error for each observa...

• How do I create a design with a continuous factor that has more than two levels in JMP®?

  In the Custom Design platform, you can create a continuous factor with more than two levels in one of two ways: 1. Leave the factor in the design as a continuous factor and add power terms for the factor to the model. Adding the quadratic term generates a value in the center of the high and low values (to make a three-level factor). Similarly, adding the 3rd power term generates two values between...

• Excel 2007 ODBC driver limits import to 255 columns

  Although Excel 2007 allows a worksheet to contain more than 16,000 columns, the Excel 2007 (Excel 12) ODBC driver will limit import to 255 columns. If the Excel 2007 worksheet you wish to import into JMP^® has more than 255 columns, the work around is to open the worksheet in Excel and save it as a delimited file, then import it into JMP as a text file. [Previously JMP Note 33421]

  There is a known issue with JMP Help not redirecting you to the correct page when you are using non-English settings for Safari on macOSX.
