JMP Wish List

We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.
  2. Submit: Post your new idea using the Suggest an Idea button. Please submit one actionable idea per post rather than a single post with multiple ideas.
  3. Kudo & Comment Kudo ideas you like, and comment to add to an idea.
  4. Subscribe: Follow the status of ideas you like. Refer to status definitions to understand where an idea is in its lifecycle. (You are automatically subscribed to ideas you've submitted or commented on.)

We consider several factors when looking for what ideas to add to JMP. This includes what will have the greatest benefit to our customers based on scope, needs and current resources. Product ideas help us decide what features to work on next. Additionally, we often look to ideas for inspiration on how to add value to developments already in our pipeline or enhancements to new or existing features.

Parameter tuning in Predictive Modeling

In the Predictive Modeling platform, it would be nice to have options, similar to the alternative confusion matrix cutoffs, to change various tuning parameters for a number of iterative steps of values. For example, in a partition, vary the minimum split size between 3 and 10 in increments of 1 (similarly for the other paramters). I realize this is not difficult to accomplish with a loop in a script, but it would be nice if it was as easy as with the confusion matrix cutoff example, or the way it works to put a variable in the By box when doing an analysis. It would then be easy to examine how various performance measures change as the tuning parameters vary.

It has been my experience that most of the default parameters in JMP work quite well, but it becomes tedious to test whether or not this is true. This suggestion would automate this testing and make it easier to determine whether or not to override the defaults.

I totally support this proposal. So called hyperparametric tuning frequently encountered in modeling. Well, including this option will make JMP Pro much more competitive to other software for the data analysis, ML modeling like Matlab, for example.
