JMP Wish List

Dear community,   I have been using JMP for a couple of years and until now it is quite sad not being able to construct a 3D surface graph over a ternary plot within a mixture design. Before using JMP, I did this many times using another software and was quite easy so please could we have this feature in the next JMP version? ... View more

I'd like to add a suggestion that there be a box for "shape" added to graph builder.  that way you can change the shape of your markers based upon the column added to that box.  This would be similar to the option in rows to color or mark by column but would be locally done just in graph builder. ...

Hello, I would like to suggest that there is an option for platforms to ignore missing data, similar to how you can ignore excluded data in Control Chart builder.  The issue this would solve is that if you un-stack a data set, many times you will have unequal number of data rows for each column you create.  Then if you try and graph these columns your graph will have lots of blanks.  I get around this now by adding a local data filter and clicking on it which selects all the values and will then hide the missing values.  However, this is not an easy exercise to do for large number of variables or when using a column switcher.   As an example, before using a filter and unclick show excluded region:   and after   and example of the data in the table after the split(second column in is the CC shown above):   thanks!   Steve   ...

A process map or value stream map builder feature would be awesome.  The user would enter the process step name and have the option to enter additional elements like factors, responses, noise, specifications, levels, cycle times, etc. for each step.  The user could also select factors and create a DOE or link process steps to capability and control chart data sets to identify bottlenecks, critical chains, or areas for improvement.  JMP could also develop analysis platforms focused on the relationships between process steps.  ...

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     What inspired this wish list request?  Most presentations are nowadays on 16:9 screens. So, there is a lot of space "to the side" to put several plots next to each other.   A very convenient function to split a plot into subplots is the page option in Graph Builder. Unfortunately, such "pages" are always placed below each other :(   What is the improvement you would like to see?  When a column is used as page in Graph Builder, please add the option to arrange the "pages" next to each other instead of "below each other".   Why is this idea important?  This helps to get plots in a wide side-by-side format - especially to included them  in presentations on 16:9 screens. https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Change-layout-in-Graph-Builder-using-Page/m-p/379196/highlight/true#M62916      Open( "$SAMPLE_STIPS/Wafer Stacked Small.jmp" ); Graph Builder( Show Control Panel( 0 ), Graph Spacing( 4 ), Variables( X( :X_Die ), Y( :Y_Die ), Page( :Lot ), Wrap( :Wafer ), Color( :Defects ) ) );   more wishes submitted by   ...

I will occasionally have a distribution with zero's in there and when I try using the Distribution platform, I get a much smaller list of possible distributions to fit than normally.  I then can go into Life Distribution and look at a ZI Lognormal or ZI Weibull, but why not offer these in the Distribution platform? ...

Whenever I create a heat-map in Graph Builder with categorical data, I end up with odd gridlines that don't make sense:     The axes "Show Tick Labels" option is usually set to "Automatic".  I'd like to suggest that "Automatic" set the tick labels to "Short Divider" (or "Interval Tray") for heat-maps with categorical data.   Folks on my team have complained about this verbally before so I'm not the only one.   Thanks for considering this! ...

What inspired this wish list request?  In this Heatmap plot, the cells 1-3 are a mixture of 100 red with tiny amounts of green - but they are quite transparent and quite green. Heatmap Plot - mixing colors  Seems that the transparency levels are mixed before colors are mixed, instead of mixing the colors with the respective transparency levels.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please adjust the code for color mixing such that 100% red + some green gives something close the red.   Option 1: Please add different blend options to control how colors are mixed, like (from paint.net)   Why is this idea important?  fewer bugs -> happier users :) ...

The Variability Chart platform is the only one that provides the option to get Bayesian variance components. It feels misaligned to not have the Bayesian option available in Fit Model as well. I do get questions from users at my company around getting different output for the same analysis, but using a different platform because any negative variance component may switch from REML to Bayesian without them realizing it when using the Variability Chart platform (even though there is some text with an explanation, they don't know what it means and/or don't pay attention). My default is to use the Fit Model platform with bounded variance components for random effects models (there is a 'soft' recommendation from JMP to do this on the last section of Mixed Models and Random Effect Models.   If the Bayesian option is available in Variability Chart, I'd like the flexibility to leverage it with a more flexible model structure in Fit Model as well.   There has been some good work done by the JMP folks to investigate the utility of the Bayesian option (mostly because negative variance components are really confusing to, well, everyone). Here is one link, which looks at a Measurement Systems Analysis application. My assumption is that these principles can apply to all random effects models in general.   Strictly Positive Estimates of Variance Components for Measurement Systems Analysis Models  ... View more

Are there any plans to integrate GAMs (Generalized Additive Models) to the predictive modeling platform. Since the procedure already exists in SAS, one would think it might be reasonably easy to port it to JMP. Many thanks, Yves P. ... View more

I would like an "in-between" data filter option. Like a data filter which applies to a whole report but maintains the connection like a local data filter (not changing states of rows directly in the table).   Currently, the original Data Filter will adjust the row states on the table and have an effect on one or multiple reports at the same time. Local Data Filter improved on this by allowing me to control a single graph without affecting anything but that graph.   Now, what would be great - if it doesn't already exist - is to control all of a single report from a single "local" data filter. I use the BY variable a lot in my analysis and I often want to filter all the resulting graphs the same. If I do a local data filter, I get a local filter for each graph … and if I do the more global data filter I impact the table itself.   Something in between these two would be a great addition! ...

What inspired this wish list request? It is my understanding that advancing build numbers should not come with feature regression, yet that is exactly what has happened since JMP12. (I haven't tested JMP13).  Starting with JMP14, the display of markers and SVG strings within a FrameBox has two serious regressions     What is the improvement you would like to see? Fix the regressions please.     Why is this idea important? ... this is obvious   Here is the crux -- the display order of drawn elements in the FrameBox MUST FOLLOW THE GIVEN DRAWING ORDER.  I am not the first one to bring this up and I will not be the last.  Please Please PLEASE JMP devs -- fix the display order BS.  If I draw an element above a MarkerSeg -- then that marker seg SHOULD NOT BE DRAWN ABOVE THE ELEMENT.  I have brought this up several times over the past two years and I've seen other people bring it up as well.  Why the silence?  This should be an easy fix.   And secondly, in JMP12, SVG strings were properly aliased.  In JMP14 and beyond (even JMP17), the SVG strings are not aliased properly and introduce visual bugs.  This can be important when quickly scanning graphs for anything unusual -- the SVG strings are background markers and shouldn't provide visual chaos, yet there is no way around it since JMP12 due to this regression.   Here is some code showing the issue with MarkerSeg drawing order: Names Default to Here( 1 ); table = New Table( "test table", Add Rows( 150000 ), <<New Column( "X", "Numeric", <<Set Each Value( Random Normal() ) ), <<New Column( "Y", "Numeric", <<Set Each Value( Random Normal() ) ) ); Eval( Eval Expr( New Window( "Test", <<On Close( Close( Expr( table ), No Save ) ) , Platform( table, ob = Outline Box( "", Bivariate( X( :x ), Y( :y ) ) ) ) ); ) ); (ob[Frame Box( 1 )] << Find Seg( Marker Seg( 1 ) )) << Set Transparency( 0.4 ); ob[Frame Box( 1 )] << Add Graphics Script( "FAKE_LINE_OF_FIT"; Pen Color( "Black" ); Pen Size( 4 ); Line( [-5, 5], [-5, 5] ); Pen Color( "Red" ); Pen Size( 3 ); Line( [-5, 5], [-5, 5] ); ); JMP16:   JMP12 (marker segs are drawn FIRST)   And here is an example of the aliasing issue (the background grid is a regular grid of lines): JMP16:   JMP12 (aliased properly!):               ...

As discussed many times with JMP representative over the last 10 years, a good improvement would be that the prediction profiler allows more model 'predictive checks', e.g comparing data to prediction intervals and visualizing the prediction intervals on the prediction profiler (because, really, to get an idea of the prediction of tomorrow's outcome for my process, the confidence interval usefulness is close to 0).   Similarly, when computing p(defect) in the simulator, this is a little sad to use a Normal approximation of the predictive distribution (i.e. normal(mean, RMSE) ) instead of the more correct form of a Student accounting for RSME but also for design uncertainty. This latter is completely forgotten now, and which makes it statistically wrong, especially with small d.f.. Unfortunately, small d.f. is the norm, when using DoE.   (I mean, the closed-form solution even exists for multivariate multiple linear regression (not much more computations), and then, instead of writing manually a correlation matrix, we could use the one computed from the data, right ?)... ...

In addition to First n, Last n, and Random n rows, let the user enter a list or matrix of rows to preview in the column formula dialog.  This would be helpful when trying to write a formula that needs to work for conditions in different parts of the table.  Right now, for example, I would like to see the preview for rows 2, 462, and 3232 as each represent different conditions in the table, so I would really like to enter something like this:       ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! edit: I use multiple response a lot - so it will help me. I guess most JMP users don't use multiple response. So, fixing the issue won't help them. ☑ removes a "feels like bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Since Jmp17 GraphBuilder Plots can use columns with modeling type multiple response. -> amazingly useful! Unfortunately, a plot that uses a column with modeling type multiple response is not interactive when exported as HTML:     What is the improvement you would like to see?  support modeling type multiple response in interactive HTML files.     Why is this idea important?  Since Jmp17, users enjoy the possibility of Graph Builder to use columns with modeling type multiple response. If such plots stay interactive when exporting them to HTML, the users will be happy.         more wishes submitted by     ... View more
