What inspired this wish list request? I came throught the LinkedIn post (and associated publication) from Peter Goos (Model selection for designed experiments with mixed integer programming: MIO and raster plots | Link...), and I found the raster plot a very efficient visualization to help select the most relevant terms in a model.
Here is an example done on the dataset "2x3x4 Factorial" available in JMP Sample Index, where the evaluation metric can be changed (between R², RMSE, AICc and BIC) and is used to order the different models. The raster plot clearly shows where the different models agree or disagree in the inclusion of terms :
What is the improvement you would like to see? If possible in some platforms (for example in Fit Model with Stepwise personality), it would be great to have this kind of visualization to help compare and select the most relevant terms in the model(s). This visualization example can be associated with my previous wish list : https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/DoE-Fit-Model-Stepwise-Interactive-visualization-of-model...
@mia_stephens this wish is similar to the previous one where we discussed about the value of visualizations for models evaluation and selection (link above).
From the Stepwise platform, I used the "All Possible Models" option to generate different models with different terms presence.
The rest of the steps can be found in the following script (extracted from the log with some annotations added, sorry for the quality and length) and attached file :

In order to reduce and optimize the computation of several models (which can be computationally intensive in presence of high number of factors, and possible terms in the models), some safeguards and model creation definitions could be implemented, in the same fashion as the design explorer for DoE, where several designs can be created in parallel. Some options to define could be the highest order of the terms to include in the models, how many different models are created, how much are displayed, ...
Why is this idea important? "All models are wrong, but some are useful" can be a great quote to illustrate the importance of this type of visualization : through the visual comparison of several models ranked by their relevance (R², information criterion, RMSE, ...to be chosen) and their included terms, any user can define which terms to include in the model with more certainty/confidence, or even choose to combine several equally good models. Multiplicity of models is often seen as a concern due to the combinatorial explosion, but this way to summarize and compare visually a lot of models could help see the models' multiplicity as an opportunity for better modeling and decision-making.
