JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Preview for functions under the Tables menu is very useful to check the correct manipulations have been performed.  However, the generation of the preview table can take considerable time if the data tables involved are large.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Preference setting to allow for the table preview and table preview auto refresh to be disabled by default.   Why is this idea important?  Saves processing time for the user.   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I have a table that is already sorted in a specific manner and I can't resort it. I need to do a Column Statistic, but not a standard statistic. I can build JSL in the column formula to go through the whole table to create a matrix "by" the categories of interest, but for this larger table, the JSL layer would be pretty slow and inefficient. JMPs canned columns statistics already gather these matricies - and quite fast - so I would like to leverage that.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see a column function that is more generic... so like ColMean(column, by1, by2, by3) returns the mean of a matrix of values by 'by1', 'by2' and 'by3' .... I would like a function that just returns the matrix of values prior to any math being done.     Why is this idea important?  As mentioned in the first section, coding this in the column formula would be very inefficient. Coding this in a separate script (a table script, perhaps) could be faster, but then not as 'live' as a formula in a column. With JMPs base infrastructure already existing, being able to leverage it further would be ideal.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  While crosshair tool is useful to read the approximate values around the curves it would be good to snap on a smoother-ed curve that is closest to the crosshair.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Snap feature on the graph.   Why is this idea important?  This will enable quicker and more accurate look at the curve values compared to going into the table.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I analyze a lot of data that is a deviation from nominal and thus has values at zero or negative values.  If the data is skewed there are much more limited Distibution fitting options in both the Distribution platform and the Capability platform (and no options in Process screener!).     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see additional distributions such as largest and smallest extreme values, 3 parameter Weibull/Gamma/Exponential/Lognormal, and zero inflated distributions as asked for here: Add Zero Inflated distributions to Distribution Platform - JMP User Community in the Distribution Platform, Capability Platform, and the Process Screening Platform.   Why is this idea important? Since a proper capability analysis requires the need for a well fitting distribution, having a large number of options is key for user success.  As such, currently any skewed data set that includes values at 0 or less can lead to poor capability analysis due to more limited fitting options that >0 data sets.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  In my research I often have to compare different experimental conditions for their proportions (mortality for instance). I can perform a chi square test with the Y by X plateform with the Treatments in the X, the parameter in the Y (living vs dead) and the count as Freq. I obtain a global p-value but then I can't discriminate treatments.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have a post hoc procedure to hava a multiple two-samples proportions test in order to test all pairs along with a connecting letters report. Ideally a correction for multiplicity (as Tukey) would be needed. I've been using another stat tool with the Marascuilo procedure.   Why is this idea important?  It will be important for all situations where there are more than two groups to compare for their proportions   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I would like using the label orientation "Automatic" consistently but currently I must define it at each individual axis in graphs.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have it as a preference so that it is applied automatically to all my graphs.     Why is this idea important?  The proposal is important because it saves us a öot of clicks.     ...

Qu'est-ce qui a inspiré cette demande de liste de souhaits ?   La possibilité de le faire sur Minitab / Excel Le fait qu'un biais n'est pas forcément centré sur 0 exemple : [-1 ; +2 ] Que le calcul de l'intervalle de confiance du biais fait intervenir aussi bien l'Upper Limit que la Lower Limit du biais et pas forcément le delta calculé.   Quelle est l’amélioration que vous souhaiteriez voir ?   Pouvoir avoir la possibilité de saisir les deux limites et non que le delta comme c'est le cas actuellement.   Pourquoi cette idée est-elle importante ?   Indispensable pour la gestion des tests d'équivalence dont le biais n'est pas centré sur 0, aujourd'hui nous devons utiliser Excel pour mitiger cet écart (JMP pas utilisable donc).     ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   Short: Graph builder needs this function:       Long: What inspired this wish list request?  Every Jmp user knows this issue: when you invested 15 minutes to optimize your Graph Builder plot, added some subplots, added some categories and then the legend looks like this - and you need another 15 minutes to figure out which entry in the legend corresponds to which subplot.   When computers started to have several video outputs, computer users had a similar issue: which monitor setting belongs to which monitor ?!?!?   And the programmers had a great invention: an Identify button. The user just has to click the button and numbers will appear: 1) in the overview 2) on each monitor   What is the improvement you would like to see?  1) I want the same functionality for Graph builder. An Identify Button . When a user clicks the button, numbers should appear in the Frameboxes and in the legend: [extreme case to illustrate the unbelievalble help of the suggested function]   ") please also add a button to "reset" the sequence of entries in the legend to a default setting: all entries from the first subplot, then all entries from the second subplot ....   Why is this idea important?  Nowadays it's very difficult to use different color coding in different subplots - as soon as a new subplot is added, all the color settings are scrambled. The unpredictable sequence of entries in the legend makes it almost impossible to efficiently adjust the settings.         more wishes from  ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  JMP version 17.1 PRO I have a problem with the scale of the prediction profiler. The scale of "H" should be between 0.3 and 0.7. Suddenly it moves its target to 1.5 when I remove "h". The problem happens when I remove "h". Before "h" was removed, the profiler was "normal". The profiler seems to get confused by "h" and "H".     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like some warning when two columns names are simuilar like "H" and "h" there could be problems when using them as a factor in a model. Or better the problem fixed.   Why is this idea important?  I used a lot of time testing what is problem was.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?    Multivariate platform's Outlier Analysis allows you to save Mahalanobis Distances, Jackknife Distances, etc to a column.  It will plot these and show a calculated Upper control limit on those for current alpha - very useful for using the distances to assess whether a point is an outlier.  JMP puts a single value (ie Jackknife Value) into the column properties (ie on the Jackknife Distances column) that is this UCL.  However, if there was a By group, there are distinct UCL values for every group (based on number of non-missing points in the group) and this single value in the column properties appears to just be for the last group.     One might think you could extract them from the platform's report but it doesn't seem like it - they are in Frameboxes, not textboxes in the report and I don't see a way to extract those values.       What is the improvement you would like to see?    In my use case, with a By Group I'd like the UCLs in a column as well.  But what I'd like to see is maybe an ability to ask the platform for those, maybe similar to the way you can ask a fit in Fit Model for various calculated values using  <<GetEstimates, and get a list of those for all the by groups.   Related: it would be nice if in cases like this there were a good way to <<Get what the groups are in order to use that list of values better? At least I'm not sure how to do that without parsing it out of the outlinebox names on the report.  Would be nice to get a handy list in same order as the values in what you get from <<getestimates so you know for sure what group each is for.  It has come to my attention that different platforms vary in terms of what groups they will include in their report (or skip due to inadequate data) and the order groups will be in may not be as obvious as it used to be now that JMP will user "numerical ordering" in some cases.     Why is this idea important?    I think it's clear why the UCLs are useful - it's what you'd compare the distance to in order to see if it's a large distance, for a given confidence?   Here's a community post where someone wanted this value, they just weren't using a By I guess because were happy with the single value in column properties:Solved: Jackknife Predicted Values - JMP User Community       ...

What inspired this wish list request? I love the Difference vs Mean plot in this platform, but many times the difference may be a function of the mean. What next?     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to be able to fit a line of Difference vs mean and see if it is significant, better yet, have JMP do it and suggest a different analysis like % Difference vs Mean (Available in JMP 18), and see if this one has a trend also. If it does, suggest another approach. At a minimum provide a way to output the data used in the plots to a data table so I can check myself. I think the Galton.jmp sample data file is a good example where people will get the incorrect conclusions. The Matched pairs analyses leads one to believe the difference is not significant, when in fact some assumptions of the paired t-test are violated, and this is not the correct conclusion. The assumption that the difference is random about an average difference is not true in this case.      Why is this idea important?  This will lead JMP users to the correct analysis in cases where the paired t-test assumptions are violated.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?    Whenever i move/organise my files and folders, all of the JMP analysis links break if the graph has used a reference to the data table rather than embedding - this is most annoying/inconvenient, and means that i have to perform the analysis all over again. I believe this is caused because the link between the analysis file and the data table file is an absolute reference (ie, starting at C:/)   What is the improvement you would like to see?    It would be SOOO helpful, if those 'absolute' references could be replaced by relative references - since quite often, my analysis files are stored in the same folder as the data table that they reference. Doing this would mean i could then put the files wherever i like and they would still work and be useful.    Why is this idea important?    This would make it much easier for your users to organise their work after performing the analysis of data, rather than having to think completely proactively about how many files you might generate, and whether it might be better for them to have their own folder/location on a drive.    ...

Hello,   I often generate multiple Bivariate plots from a dataset using a By variable. If I change the axis type (e.g., from Linear to Log) on one plot, I can then broadcast it to the other plots. However, when I do this, the scale range for the first plot also gets broadcast. I also don't want to set a one-size-fits-all scale. Can this platform be enhanced to allow interactively changing the axis type while still auto-scaling each plot based on its data? I know there are ways to do this with JSL but the specific request is to be able to do this interactively.   Thanks and regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Need manually or automate it by writing code in JSL I have many charts in a grape and need update SPEC lines for every chart for changing colors, line type and line width to stands out the spec limits. Current preferences option only applies to graphic fit line, font size, etc. but not Spec Limit Lines, which is equally important if it is not more important can others. So we do not need to manually update limit lines for each every time and each every chart.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  It is equally importance as grid lines, graph lines width, Box Plot Line Width and so on.   Why is this idea important? Not everyone can see full spectrum color. Even though I am not color blinded but need to make limit lines stand out in the grape so other people can see clearly. The current limit lines could be covered by grid lines also or make not clear to see.      ...

In many case, there is the needs to generate random data with different shape (Normal, Weibull, Lognormal,...) and parameters. For example: one dataset (1000 data)  normal distribution (Average = 10 and Standard Deviation = 1.1) and one data set (2500 data) Weibull distribution (Shape Paremeter = 1, Scale Parameter = 0.1, Threshold = 0.1). This need is linked to some simulations (capability, ppm, correlation,...)  we need to do with not real/concrete/process data in our hands.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have a button in some menu (Table or Analysis) -> push the button -> open the menu where I can select the type of Random data Distribution and set number of data to be generated and the parameter (see the attched file)   Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…). - Have the possibility to do some analysis and evaluation without real/concrete data; - Easy menu for data generation; - Flexibility on different data distribution needs;     ...

What inspired this wish list request? In comparing models there are some more statistics and graphs that may help with this comparison.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Statistics to consider adding are R-squared adjusted and R-squared predicted, AICc and BIC. Would like to see a table listing all of these beside one another along with the coefficients and p-values for each term in the models. Potential graphs that may be helpful are Absolute value of the residual vs run for each model and Absolute value of the residual vs model (like like A, B, C) to show how the average Absolute error compares and the variation.     Why is this idea important?  This will strengthen the ability to compare the models quickly and better enable the more correct model to be chosen.     ...

I don't have a lot of faith in the 'plot residuals by normal quantiles' for doing model diagnostics. I have typically saved the residuals from the model to a new column, then used the Distribution platform to create a normal quantile plot there.   The fit of the solid red line does not seem to match up well with where the residuals fall using Fit Least Squares. The slope of the solid red line is not a good fit. I looked at a few sample data sets and saw issues with the default model scripts in these data sets:   2x3x4 factorial Bounce data Wine data Below is a plot of the 2x3x4 factorial Residual Normal Quantile Plot. I've been told that the slope of the solid red line is based on the RMSE of 2.02.     If I save the residuals to a new column and regenerate the Normal Quantile Plot from the Distribution plot, the line is based on the standard deviation of the Residual Y column of 1.03. It looks like a much more sensible fit from a model diagnostics perspective.   Is this something that can be updated in future versions of JMP? Note that when you use Fit Mixed, the results in the Residual Plots there match my desired result from manually saving the residuals to a new column. ... View more
