JMP Wish List

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help all Jmp users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Jmp18, a warning message appears for EVERY user - EVERY day - EVERY time Jmp is started  ... unfortunately: already months before Jmp expires. Unlike a splash window, the pop-up window remains in place until the user closes it manually.   This is how it looks like:   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please - remove the warning message [either: completely, or: after 3 seconds] - just show the warning message 1 - 2 x before it gets disabled [automatically] or: - add an option to disable the warning message (like for the startup splash window).   Why is this idea important?  less confusion for JMP users no annoyed license site managers   other wishes from    TS-00143027   ...

JMP currently does not have the capability of complex survey analysis. In sas survey analysis is done using several Proc survery___ procedures (surveymeans, surveyfreq, surveylogistic, surveyreg, surveyphreg) and I wish that JMP had such capabilities at least in future. These should take into account complex survey design including several stratums, clusters, and weights. ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2022   If a user changes the name of a column, references to the column in table scrips are (sometimes) automatically corrected, references in user scrips unfortunately not: Column() vs As Column() vs datable:column vs dt:As name("column")    So, column name changes are very dangerous: there is always the risk that a jsl code doesn't work anymore after the change - like illustrated in the example below. JMP detects that a noc-existing column is requested and throws an error:   My wish: Instead of throwing an error, JMP could open a window and provide a list of column names. Then the user can select a replacement column. There should also be a toggle box, allowing the user to decide if the JSL code should be automatically adjusted wit the new column name. The new behaviour could be enabled/disabled in the preferences menu such that users which got used to error message still have the choice to get it.     NamesDefaultToHere(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.JMP"); Data Table( "Big Class" ):age << Set Name( "age_" ); s = dt << runScript("Distribution"); // column names automatcally adjusted wait(2); s = dt << runScript("Set Age Value Labels"); // this script throws an error   more wishes submitted by   ...

Can we have JMP display a path diagram for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in the multivariate platform?  Even though the loading matrix displays similar information, the path diagram will be a very powerful visulaization of the factor model by displaying the most dominant item connected to each factor.  There could be an option to display the number of items for each factor (e.g., 3) to control the complexity fo the diagram.  The diagram should contain the values of the loadings, and also the correlation among factors for non-orthogonal rotations. ...

  ☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ users can remove bugs on their on ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Via  a user can edit the main menu and [on windows systems] the toolbars.   Other menus cannot be edited. Unfortunately, some of the implemented functions have bugs - and some functions are missing.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add the possibility to remove items from any right click /  red triangle / ...  menu and the possibility to add user defined items. This will allow us to fix tiny issues which won't make it into a future version of JMP - or just in many years. e.g. - Allow us to perform more actions when right clicking on column name on columns panel  - Paste Column has a bug and should be replaced with a version without bug: JMP jumps   Is it possible to customize the Add Formula Column menu to include customize functions?    yes and no: -  a user can not add  user-Defined mini GUIs , e.g. to add Modulo to the portfolio. - Existing functions cannot be added to the menu by name.   (TS-00152405)     Why is this idea important?  Less pressure on JMP developers to bugfix and fine-tune the GUI. Users don't have to wait for version N+2. -> Users will be able to bugfix and tweak the GUI on their own.   other wishes from  ... View more

Hello:   Can we have JMP16 do ensemble clustering (clustering of cluster solutions). One possible implementation is in R package CLUE.  My input variables are cluster solutions (hierarchical 3 clusters, hierarchical 4 clusters, K-means 3 clusters, K-means 4 clusters, Normal mixtures 2 clusters, and so on).  Research has shown ensemble clustering capitalizes on all the different solutions and produces more stable clusters.   A thought is to use LCA on these categorical variables, but it imposes a latent class model. We need a consensus solution.  How to do this in JMP other than an R integration?   Thanks ... View more

  Can we have JMP implement Silhouette plots in cluster analysis platform? Silhouette plots (Rousseeuw (1987)) are useful in many phases of cluster analysis: visualization, validation and choosing optimal number of clusters. The Silhouette value represents a measure of internal cohesion and external isolation and can be used in any of the clustering routines available in JMP cluster analysis: 1) hierarchical; 2) nonhierarchical – k-means cluster; and 3) latent class analysis once cluster assignment is made.  With JMP's focus on visualization, it will be a useful addition to existing tools in cluster analysis. ...

Since JMP emphasizes visualization, the augmented factor correlation matrix with color coding will be a useful piece of information in the SEM platform. The factor correlation matrix is a useful for researchers during scale construction. For multi-item constructs scale builders look for convergent and discriminant validity. This piece of information can be obtained easily since JMP 15 can now compute factor scores for latent variables. This correlation matrix can be augmented as follows:   1. Correlation values on the lower diagonal 2. Correlation-squared values reflecting shared variance between factors on the upper diagonal 3. Average Variance Extracted (AVE) which is the variance each factor shares with its own indicators on the diagonals. This can also be thought of as the average communality of the construct.   Here is an example:   For convergent validity, we want AVE > 0.5 indicating the construct explains > 50% of the variance of its indicators   For discriminant validity, we want the diagonal values to be higher than values to the right or above since this establishes that the factor shares more variance with its own indicators than other factors. When such is not the case, color coding the violations will be more useful. ... View more

I'd like to have a multivariate x axis in the Fit Y by X platform, with the ability to run Means testing. I use the Variability chart in the variability gauge platform to show how multiple (non-continuous) variables grouped on the X axis impact a Y numeric product response. I'd like to be able to run means ANOVA testing for each of the variables plotted on the X-Axis.  ... View more

Determining the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis is always difficult.  Is it possible to add options to do the parallel analysis (Horn 1965) and minimum average partial (MAP) correlation analysis (Velicer 1976) in the multivariate factor analysis platform?  These more advanced procedures will add valuable information to determine a proper solution to the thorny problem of determining number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Experimental units with known (fixed) covariates must be recruited and randomized to factor(s) over time so that they are independent (or "balanced") for the covariates.  Currently, there is not a automated way to do this in JMP 18.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see JMP allow covariates in the the Augment Design platform so that new experimental units with known fixed covariates can be randomized to design factors that maintain balance of the existing design.     Why is this idea important?  This is important to design studies with important known covariates and staggered recruitment.      ...

I had chances to use the Artificial Intelligence on different topics: conclusions from tecnical reports, multi-languages interactions, data investigations. In this moment JMP Application is very powerfull with a big possibility on data analysis and data visualization. Due to this high numbers of opportunities and features... in some case (from my experiences) there is some "brain" barrier in the persons... because they want to do something (analysis/visualizations)...but they have not the correct background to do it... and then the are "scared" to use JMP.  In addition, we have more and more cross-language interaction and the co-work can be limitate from different languages.   What is the improvement you would like to see? It could usefull to have integreted in JMP an AI (Artificial Intelligences) that as co-pilot can help the users in very simple way (for data analysis,  data conclusions data visualization and text) Example 1: I have a data table -> in a text editor prompt I write: "Are my data normal?" (in different languages) -> output: written ->yes because in the normality test p-value is > 0.05 or graphics (data distribution, normality test, p-value, conclusion); Example 2: I performed some analysis with some output -> in a text editor prompt I write: "give me the same analysis in Chinese" Example 3: I have 2 data set- >in a text editor prompt I write: the average of the 2 samples is comparable? -> in automatic way there is the selction of the correct test and generate the simple output; Example 4: I have data from past experience... in a text editor prompt I write simple: which are the real signficatve variable for my output... Examble 5: I can interact (input) with JMP: by writing, by voice (using PC microphone), by file (.jpg, ...)    Why is this idea important?  1) increase the JMP Application usage also to a big group of person with no high statistical background knowledge; 2) Speed up dramatically the analysis/conclusions... for solution identfication... and reduce the time for benefit implementation; 3) remove languages barriers... increse the WW Cowork... more change to have JMP as a Standard tool spread in the World 4) Analysis by Analysis in a Organization/Company... the past experience is not lost... all analysis/concusions/visualization can move in a "big basket"/"data lake" and used/reused for next evaluations     ...

As a JMP Partner in Brazil, I teach people how to use JMP to solve problems using data, and I’ve received some feedback on the language options available within JMP. While multiple languages are supported, Portuguese is not yet one of them. Including Portuguese would be a significant step toward expanding the JMP community in Latin America. Brazil is a huge market with tremendous potential! Although there are thousands of JMP users here, not all are fluent in English or Spanish. Our competitors’ software includes Portuguese support, which often makes it the preferred choice for some users. Adding a Portuguese option would greatly benefit the JMP community and increase adoption across Brazil. Thanks! ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? The result the LCA platform changes every time you run it because you cannot set a random seed. When sharing the results with business stakeholders this problematic because the reported result differs from the demonstrated result. Having to explain why to the results differ adds complexity to what can already be a difficult conversation.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Add the ability to set a random sed to the LCA platform.   Why is this idea important? No need to explain why the reported results differ from the demonstrated results to business stakeholders. Different results, while expandable, can erode confidence in the results, especially for the stakeholders who are less familiar with statistics.     ... View more

No doubt there are other currencies are not included. Why is this idea important?  I work with clients who are Multinationals and have sales from Vietnam and the local markets work in their local currency. ... View more

Hello,   In Association Analysis, lift (S[Rule]/S[Consequent]) is a measure of statistical significance. This depends on the size of the dataset. Instead of, or as an alternative to, requiring a fixed min. value of lift in the AA dialog, it would be helpful to allow the user to set the alpha value and calculate the statistically significant value of lift based on the size of the dataset.   Regards Mehul Shroff ...
