• What is the difference between the Excel Import Wizard and the Excel Add-In for JMP®?

  There are two primary methods for importing Microsoft Excel files into JMP. You can use the Excel Import Wizard or the Excel Add-In for JMP (in Microsoft Windows environments only). However, each method leads to slightly different import outcomes. The Excel Add-In uses Windows automation to communicate between a JMP session and Excel. Excel transfers the values over at the time of the request. Any...

• The JMP® installation process creates empty shared-files directories

  After a new installation of SAS^® 9.3 is installed on a machine, the shared-files directory is no longer created. (A "new" installation of SAS means that no previous SAS versions had been installed on the machine.) Instead, each product is installed in a directory of its own under the SASHOME directory. Here is an example: C:\Program Files\SASHome\ReportFontsforClients\9.3 However, the JMP stand-...

• Special requirements for running JMP® 16 on Apple M1 Silicon ARM-based processors

  Apple's M1 Silicon and later processors, developed by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM), have special requirements for full support in JMP 16. Due to Apple's move from Intel-based processors to ARM-based processors in its newer Mac OS systems, third-party drivers and software must also support Apple's ARM-based architecture to work with JMP. When running JMP 16 in native mode on Mac OS 11 on an ARM-bas...

• When I run my model through the Fit Model platform, I see "LostDFs" in the Effect Test report and "Biased" and "Zeroed" parameter estimates. Why?

  These notes usually indicate one or more linear dependencies in the design. That is, a linear combination of one or more factors can exactly duplicate another factor's values. Singularity Details are shown at the top of the results window. Examining these details should assist in determining which factors are involved in the linear dependencies. You can then adjust the model by removing factors to...

• The Nonlinear platform in JMP® 15.0 produces incorrect results when using by-groups or where clauses

  In JMP 15.0, when using by-groups or where clauses, the Nonlinear platform accesses the wrong rows in the data table for the X variables. It uses the row in the original table (rather than the row in the by-group) as it goes through the data, thus producing wrong answers without warning.   This issue was fixed in maintenance release 15.1.   [Previously JMP Note 65410]

• When I run nominal or ordinal logistic regression in JMP®, some parameter estimates are labeled "Unstable." Why?

  This is a common issue caused by some parameters in the model becoming theoretically infinite. It can happen when the model perfectly predicts the response, or if there are more parameters in the model than can be estimated by the data (that is, with sparse data, where "sparse" means that there are few or no repeats of each setting of the covariates). One solution is to reduce the number of variab...

• How does JMP® pick the initial cluster seeds in K-Means Clustering?

  JMP^® uses the same seed selection method as the SAS^® FASTCLUS procedure, with METHOD=FULL on the initial seeding. Generally, this method starts at observation one then chooses observations within the data set that are far apart. Please see the Background section for the FASTCLUS procedure in the SAS/STAT User's Guide for a detailed explanation.   [Previously JMP Note 37931]
