JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Unlike other statistical software (Minitab), it seems that JMP doesn't provide detailed formulas for analyses. This lack of details and transparency can make it difficult for users to understand the underlying calculations.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide more formulas for analyses where it makes sense to include them in the support documentation and in cases where formulas are quite complex, simplified formulas for simplified examples so the user can understand the concept.   Why is this idea important?  understand the underlying calculations, it is quite often to get request to explain the analysis, how do you derive this conclusion and what kind of analysis and fundamental concept formulas are being used in the analysis.   ...

Hello, I know there has been similar posts and requests on this topic, sorry about that. Some applications (e.g. in spectroscopy analysis) require doing signal deconvolution using a simple combination of multiple gaussians (see capture attached). I have seen alternatives suggested here (by using the distribution plateform, or with PLS). Does it mean that the multiple gaussians fit method will never be implemeted in JMP (or in a custom add-in)? Thanks Best Regards    ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?    Add more options to error bars or indicators in graph builder for box plots. It would be great to be able to add error bars in multiples of sigma (not just 1). I.e. 4 (represents Cp 1.33).       What is the improvement you would like to see?      Why is this idea important?      ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case.    Often you conduct comparison and MSA over hundreds of characteristics or columns. In the MSA output, f y/x, variability chart, matched pairs add an output similar to the "Process Screening" platform. So you can review across many columns the specific parametric data, and focus on those that are significant.    As is, in these platforms, you cannot screen results. It would be very helpful to be able to screen these results.   1 more suggestion, in response screening, allow you to factor in spec limits and percent of tolerance shifts, in addition to fit / Rsq significance.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see.      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,…).     ...

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case.    Please make Goal plot calculate correctly for unequal bilateral tolerances. It does not calculate percent correctly. You need to remove the nominal to make the goal plot work.   Also please add more features to goal plot, allow to modify individual data points, give different row labels, and modify the lines. Should give multiple ranges of PpK, allow to put multi-levels.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see.      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,…).     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  There are some confusions between %R&R and %P/T in JMP variability chart output     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Replace the wording Gauge R&R in the first output, because when spec are entered, the third column is % of tolerance and the figure for the line Gauge R&R and the column % of tolerance is actually a P/T (and several Customer believe it is the %R&R which does not use the tolerance in the calculations, AIAG definitions).   Why is this idea important?  because confounding %R&R and %P/T is a real issue (in the first table of the journal, 2.17 is %P/T, not %R&R   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I am trying compare the Within Sigma estimate of variation between groups, and I am unable to do so since I cannot generate confidence intervals for those estimates.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  The Capability platform now helpfully includes 95% Confidence Intervals for the various Cpx and Ppx estimates, but I can’t get the same type of information for the Within Sigma estimate.  Ultimately, I would like to be able to easily obtain confidence intervals for the Overall and Within Sigma estimates in Process Capability in all platforms where that is used.  (Distribution, Control Chart Builder, Process Capability, etc.)  It would also be beneficial to generate CIs for the Stability Index to provide a quick assessment of how this ratio compares to 1.   As an editorial comment, it is harder than I would like it to be to generate the confidence interval information for the Overall Sigma Std Deviation, but I can do it in the Distribution Platform using the Confidence Intervals option.  (Would like it to be an option for the summary statistics as well).  I can also get there in Fit Y by X under the Means and Std Deviations option in JMP 17, but you have to right click the table and add the columns to the report – and not a lot of people know you can even do that.   Why is this idea important? Confidence intervals are important so that we can understand the uncertainty associated with any statistical estimate.  Without this information readily available, people will often make incorrect assumptions - especially when sample sizes are small.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?    Sometimes, one doesn't have access to the raw data, but rather a summary of it, commonly provided as mean and standard deviation numbers - it would be great to be able to visualise such data in graph builder, but currently the only way to plot ranges associated with an average value is to have the raw data (individual data points) so that JMP can do the stdev calculation (among others).   What is the improvement you would like to see?    Functionality in graph builder to accept a column with average values and a column with range (eg, std deviation) associated with each value.   Why is this idea important?    There must be many users who don't always have access to source/raw data? ...

What inspired this wish list request? While using the summary table, I have to find work arounds for interacting with the raw data table with selections that area easy to make in the PS summary table.  For example, if I wanted to just select the columns that have out of spec conditions there is no easy way to do that.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add the ability in the red arrow drop down to select the columns in the associated data table from the highlighted "Column" rows in the PS summary table  In the select where options in the red triangle , add in "not missing" or add in an "Invert selection" option Add in the ability to lock the highlighted "Column" rows so that if you change anything on a local data filter, the same "Column" rows will remained highlighted after the filtering is finished.  Right now it moves around (and I not sure what logic it uses) Add in the options for "Process Screener" under the red arrow options of "Launch for Selected".  This goes along with second item above (the item above is how you would selection items when you then want to use the red arrow option of "Remove Selected Items", this suggestion allows you to remove unselected items) When the sorting order of the PS summary table is changed, have the "Charts as selected" and "Charts for selected" order update to match the new order. Allow selecting rows in the data table with out of spec and/or Alarms to be selected vis a red arrow button for the highlighted "Column" rows in the PS Summary table. On the "Charts as selected" and "Charts for selected" have preferences for the Control limits and Spec limit formatting that are platform specific Be able to sort the PS summary table by more than one column Have the ability so that on "Charts as selected" the axis settings will not get updated for the X axis as you select other "Column" rows     Why is this idea important? This will improve the user efficiency and experience as well as allow better presentation and exploring of the outputs from the platform.    Thanks for considering Steve   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Simplicity and efficiency of process screening platform compared to measurement system analysis.   In my earlier positions I was used to running measurement system analysis using more or less complicated macros (minitab) or more or less complicated scripts (jmp). JMP does offer easy way run MSA but to get usable report you have to do more work and if you wish to analyse results further, it is even more work.    What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have MSA platform which is similar to Process Screening. User would determine on launch of the platform what to calculate and how to get limits (use limits table/use limit columns in same table/use column properties) and so on... Then when user presses OK, it will create similar table as we can see in Process Screening, lots of information, fairly easy to sort, we can select rows and perform extra actions, we can add more columns to result table and so on...    Why is this idea important? Makes the calculation of MSA / gage easier for multiple parameters and makes analysing results from that single result table possible.       I can provide some ideas and mock-ups what could be included but it will take me multiple hours of work so I would rather first hear is there any point in this request. ...

What inspired this wish list request? I use the tree map as a the base graph to report out a dashboard of summary statistics for multiple areas in my plant.  The current squarify option leaves some "boxes" almost useless.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I'd like to see a "forced square" option in the Layout drop down menu that would make the boxes all the same size, which could mean that there are blank boxes if there are not enough categories to fit a even row/column matrix.  Ideally every box would look like chem mill stacked or heat query stacked.  You can see on dry times stacked that there is one long and skinny box that is hard to see.         Why is this idea important? Dashboards are becoming key tools for conveying operational status quickly so charts that are easy to see all the elements are vital.  This is also critical as we move to JMP live as dashboard style graphics are a main reason for the move.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?      Desirability is a highly effective concept for making a multi-criteria choice. For the moment, JMP only allows this concept to be used on the basis of a model. It would be very useful to be able to use it on a finite list of options (e.g. finding the best possible flat to rent from a list of offers).   What is the improvement you would like to see?    the manage limits tool allows you to manage specs limits efficiently. It would be very useful if it could also manage responses limits. Ideally, it should also be able to save the desirabilities one by one as well as the overall desirability.       Why is this idea important?    Stephane George (JMP system engineer) created a script for that purpose. Its addin meets the need perfectly well.     ... View more

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? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case.  Variability/Attribute Gauge Chart:   A suggestion for this platform: adding in the output the standard deviation of the measurement system called “Measurement Uncertainty” in metrology This is just the square root of Gauge R&R Var Component And may be the extended uncertainty which is the square root of Gauge R&R Var Component multiplied by the quantile for xx% confidence     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,…).   because it is a metrology standard and for the moment the user needs to calculate the square root of the variance ...

What inspired this wish list request ? Scientific publications I read about the proposed improvement   What is the improvement you would like to see ?    Addition of options to perform T² multivariate control chart with MCD and MVE estimation method (Minimum Covariance Determinant, Minimum Volume Ellipsoid resp.).  Details about these methods are provided in attachment.   Why is this idea important?  T² multivariate control charts are based on the estimation of a mean vector and a covariance matrix. These estimations are sensitive to the presence of outliers in the dataset and can lead to a masking effect preventing from detecting some outliers. MCD and MVE are so called "Robust" estimation methods, much less sensitive to the presence of outliers. It significantly improves the detection level of multivariate outliers.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Currently, when I trying to chose some samples from a plot of graph, it can only select by drawing a rectangular.  However, a lot of times, I need to select samples by a circular or oval shape, it's very hard to cherry pick each sample by using current method.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add a shape chose for select arrow, so we can chose if we want to select samples by drawing a circle or rectangular.    Why is this idea important?  Many company working on wafer like products, it's naturally a circle shape.  In this case, a lot of times, there are circular or oval shape defects, uniformity issue that need to be selected.  The user group is huge, since most semiconductor or other circular products company or manufacture need such tool to help.  It will be greatly saving time to have such selection shape.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? When using this platform, if one or more variables are continuous, the analysis gives you a message to change the variable.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Since the platform knows the problem, it should offer me a way to temporarily or permanently make the change to the variables(s) without having to stop thew analysis. Make the change, then come back.     Why is this idea important? Will make the analysis more efficient.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? CUSUM chart is a great diagnostic tool for detecting small shifts, but does not show original data. Would be nice to overlay the Control Chart Builder for I-MR, X-bar R/S with CUSUM on same window to assist in diagnostics. Currently have two separate graphs that can combine in a dashboard, but have to work to keep the scales around the same.    What is the improvement you would like to see? Currently Control Chart Builder allows some options like "Three Way Control Chart" and "Switch to IMR Chart". If a simllar function could be added for CUSUM, EWMA, the graphs would be more like a Three Way Control Chart where all the data is lined up for the same x-axis. The control panel for CUSUM may need to be moved to the right side under the Limit Summaries table, or further under the Control Chart Builder control panel on the left side.     Why is this idea important? Improves the ability to look for trends and signals in both the standard control chart with actual data plotted to actual Y values, as well as having the standardized CUSUM values or EWMA values.      ...
