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.

distribution free (aka non-parametric) Prediction Interval Estimation

Hello:  

 

I'm looking for an implementation of prediction intervals for the "non-parametric" case, conceptually analogous to the normal parametric case as currently implemented in the Distribution Platform in JMP, as illustrated by the following demo by @julian per the JMP STIPS Course.

https://community.jmp.com/t5/Short-Videos/Calculating-Prediction-and-Tolerance-Intervals/tac-p/40931...

 

I have a good textbook reference for this but the method is almost strictly table-based, with some Fortran code for the nonparametric intervals: 

Gerald Hahn and William Meeker, Statistical Intervals: A Guide for Practitioners 1991, Wiley & Sons

 

Why ask for such a "nuanced" thing??   

 

In many situations we are required to use non-parametric methods or otherwise transform the data to normal if the sample data indicates non-normality on the basis of the Shapiro-Wilk Goodness-of-Fit test. This is a procedural requirement for some businesses despite the pros and cons of proceduralizing (since in many cases the normal approximation will work just fine if one looks at the assumptions and the conceptual framework of the interval estimation method or the hypothesis testing method).

 

Thank you,

@PatrickGiuliano
