What inspired this wish list request? In the Prediction Profiler in JMP 19, categorical factors are currently shown as connected lines, making them appear nearly identical to continuous variables. This implies continuity that does not exist and is especially unclear for audiences who only review the final results, including internal reviewers and external clients.
What is the improvement you would like to see? Enable categorical factors in the Prediction Profiler to be displayed as discrete points instead of connected lines, either automatically or via a user‑configurable option.
Why is this idea important? This would improve clarity and correctness of interpretation, reduce confusion for result‑only audiences, and better communicate model behavior to internal teams and clients.
