Add CDFs to Graph Builder

[BHarris]

Recommend adding the ability to create CDF plots within Graph Builder.

[TorP]

That's a pity. Distribution graphs are the main reason we still use Minitab in our department.

Currently it still produces such graphs faster and easier than jmp.

(Minitab has much less evaluation options in the reports, but that's secondary if you first need the distribution graphs.)

Example w/ data from Big class.jmp

Minitab: Automatic settings, 3 clicks in dialogue window

jmp (no JSL, just std. options)

1. Graph Builder

Automatic settings  

 

y-axis manually set to Probability Normal and adjusted to 0.01 and 0.99

2. Lifetime Distribution

Automatic settings. Nice graphics, but

- No panel option

- No info about distribution type (Normal, Weibull,...) and CI

- Legend missing when copied w/ "Copy Graph" (available in original report)

Summary: Such graphs in the graph builder w/ the above issues fixed would really be appreciated.

And it seems like most pieces are already available, but in diff. places/platforms?

It's even worse than that.
For Graph Builder, the cumulative probability has to be calculated manually (for every subplot!)
Cumulative Percentage is no option (!)

See: airline Delay (with some negative values)

Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Airline Delays.jmp" );
Graph Builder(	Variables( X( :Arrival Delay ), Wrap( :Month ), Overlay( :Airline ) ));

Minitab as reference:

JMP / Graph Builder via Cumulative Percentage "trick":

• 

  pro: months are in the right order

  con: the graphs
