JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request? I have been working my way through the excellent Visual Six Sigma: Making Data Analysis Lean (Wiley and SAS Business Series) (2016) book by Cox Gaudard and Stephens from SAS Institute.   I decided to test out the new Easy DOE platform on the example for reproducing the Anodize_CustomDesign_Results.jmp data.  (I had recently been able to reproduce the results with JMP step by step.)  This was quite easy and proved the power of the Easy DOE platform, both very visual and versatile with Guided Mode and Flexible Mode (it feels a bit like TurboTax modes).   Everything went well till the 6th of 7 steps in Easy DOE which is the Predict Step.  In this step, the profiler should show the grid for the effect of the 5 factors on the 4 outcome variables, plus the desirability row and column.    The 4 desirability row and 5 desirability column grid results are missing from the output even though the option is turned on in the red triangle.  When I tried to run the option of Maximize Desirability, this did indeed work well and gave the expected result.   But as I said previously the graphical output of the Desirability is missing from the grid.  (I am running the latest version of JMP 17.2.0)     What is the improvement you would like to see?  That not only can I maximize desirability, but also see the Desirability Functions as I already can outside of Easy DOE.   If you consider this suggestion makes the Guided Mode too busy visually, at least show the Desirability Functions in the grid in the (more advanced) Flexible Mode.     Why is this idea important? One of the most useful features of the Profiler is visualizing the Desirability Functions.  They permit visual sensitivity analysis, suggest trade-offs among (nearly) optimal solutions, etc. So I think that practitioners and students learning JMP can greatly benefit.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  We often work with large data tables (1e5-1e7 rows).  Sometimes we want to scroll up a bit, but the scroll bar at the right is hard to reach, and in large tables if you even touch it the view moves by thousands of rows.  So we're stuck with the arrow keys or pg-up/pg-dn which is clunky.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  This is a feature we have implemented in a home-grown tool that became incredibly popular.  The idea is this:  in a data table, you hit (or hold down) a button, e.g., the mouse-wheel button, and then from wherever your mouse started, dy = (current y-pixel of mouse on screen) - (start y-pixel when button was clicked), then the scroll-rate is pow(dy,3)/100000 rows/second.  I recommend only scrolling in one direction (vertical vs. horizontal, maybe based on the angle of the drag).   Why is this idea important? This feature will enable smooth scrolling of data tables from very slow to very fast with small movements of the mouse, and enable users to navigate quickly through their tables.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Often small ad-hoc groups across teams want to explore data together.  Today these need to be in separate spaces, eventually they can be in separate folders, but in both cases that means the only way to organize posts is based on permissions.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Allow permissions to be applied to individual posts. That way a user can put similar content in a single folder or set of folders, and only share the posts that are relevant to individuals.   Why is this idea important?  Managing larger numbers of reports in other software is difficult and frankly just does not happen.  Giving more flexibility over how posts are organized will make it just a little easier to keep jmplive from being cluttered with old posts, folders, and spaces.   ...

What inspired this wish list request? When performing this kind of fit there is a lot of trial and error in choosing the Structure and type to find a best model. This requires running the model multiple times and comparing fit statistics.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Like some other JMP platforms, this one should offer a model all option and show a table and maybe graphs comparing the fit statistics to help choose the best one(s).     Why is this idea important? Increase user efficient and help them choose the best model.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? The Comparisons window gets cluttered as I explore Nonparametric Overlays.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Don't add them automatically but offer ways to choose which ones to add and delete.     Why is this idea important?  Will avoid cluttering up the Comparisons tabs with unwanted information. It will prevent the user from having to redo the analysis with only the Nonparametric overlays desired.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? When a use condition is specified, and one wants to view a graph at those conditions you have to manually change the scales.     What is the improvement you would like to see? The X and Y scales should offer an easy to update method to be updated for the Scatterplot, Nonparametric overlay and other plots if a Use Condition is specified at the dialogue or if one uses the Red Triangle and chooses Set Time Acceleration Use Condition. f I have a Set Use condition and choose to show my Density Curves, I do not see the Density Curve for the use condition unless I manually rescale the X and Y axes. This is not normal JMP quality.     Why is this idea important?  Will provide faster insight into the results and help standardize output for these type problems.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Provide a fast way to get from the Correlation Matrix plot to the Fit Y by X plot.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Be able to double click or right-click on any plot in the Correlation Matix plot and automatically get a Y by X plot.     Why is this idea important?  More efficient analyses.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have to export tabulate results to Excel and reformat it.  Waste of time.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add conditional formatting.     Why is this idea important?  Saves time.     ... View more

In Graph Builder, if the color range type is set to "Middle 90%", please can there be the option to include a message in the LegendBox to inform viewers of the chart that this range is in effect. At the moment, there is no indication when using a linear scale that outliers are being "hidden" in this way. A non-expert JMP user, or a recipient of a screenshot/flat image would have no way of knowing that this option has been selected.   In the image below I show an example 5-95% scale, plus a suggestion of the kind of informative text that could be included immediately under the scale.   It would be good to have this option accessible via JSL as well as interactively.   Many thanks, Matthew. ...

What inspired this wish list request?    Set Cell Changed Function This command can only be used for tablebox, there is no similar command for data table, identify the value of a cell has been changed, and return the changed value.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  The value of a cell in a data table is modified, and the system immediately returns the modified value.   Why is this idea important?  There are now subscribe commands for modifying the rows and columns of the table, but there are no commands for the cell, which is equivalent to the missing part.         ...

What inspired this wish list request?   In JMP version 17, it is quite time consuming to randomly fit numerous neural net models to hopefully find one that fits well.  If we don't type in the seed number at the start we cannot reproduce the exact analysis later, so we cannot currently reproduce the fit versus validation plots and prediction profilers.     What is the improvement you would like to see?            Why is this idea important? Development of neural net models in JMP is a potentially powerful feature, but it needs improvement to make the modeler's job a bit less repetitive in searching for a neural net that well fits the data.       ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Right now we need to manually assign people to groups (or spaces) in JMP Live, mirroring permissions that are already available and actively managed in active directory.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Sync or read groups from active directory into JMP Live.   Why is this idea important?  Managing these permissions separatelly from active directory is a lot of work and will likely lead to some users have access to content they shouldn't, and some users not having access to things they should.  We already have processes to administer and audit these permissions in active directory.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Desire to have conversations about data and reports right in the platform.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Ability to tag users in a comment, similar to this functionality in Microsoft Excel.        Why is this idea important?  Reduce barriers to meaningful conversations about data.  If it is very easy to ask someone a question WHILE they are viewing something, they are more likely to ask, and if someone is quickly brought to the exact place the question is about they are more likely to respond.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I wanted to view 2 columns at the same time in a dataset in JMP Live and I gave up after manually deselecting the first 100 columns between the two.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide an option to select/deselect all of the columns.   Why is this idea important?  Make this view more useful with large datasets.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Comparative dissolution testing is supported by JMP 17.2.0 standard edition, but the offered functionality is not in compliance with the latest EMA guidance. Recent proposed metrics by Hoffelder (AAPS 2023 paper) are not available.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Next to bootstrapping of the expected value of f2, in compliance with EMA rules (August 2023), metrics proposed by Hoffelder should preferably be added (T2EQ, SE and EDNA).   Why is this idea important?  Currently, the mentioned functionality is created in R and Matlab code, only accessible to a few people. Having this functionality in JMP will avoid the need for programming skills and additional programming platforms. This will bring the analysis options in reach of the experimenters who measured the data.  So, it is about ease of use and for pharma professionals a must have. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  We often have reliability data with a mix of failure modes but during a point in development where those failure modes are not yet identified. But we still have a need to get an estimate of mean life of the overall distribution.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  When analyzing reliability data using the “Fit Competing Risk Mixture” model of the Life Distribution platform, it would be very helpful to have a way to determine the mean life (with confidence interval) of the resulting aggregated distribution.   Why is this idea important?  System level reliability data often has multiple failure modes but those failure modes are often unknown during development.  These failure distributions aren't fit well by one parametric distribution, and the Fit Competing Risk Mixture is extremely useful. And while the profilers are powerful, often times we simply need to know the mean life of the aggregated distribution.     I think this may be very similar to the Mean Remaining Life Calculator in the Competing Cause report.  We just don't know the causes yet.     ...

  What inspired this wish list request? To help audiences understand what analysis they are looking at, it is important to have the metric definitions easily accessible to the analysis. If we can treat the data definitions as data (in data tables), we can easily report the definitions along with the analysis. The audience's ability to understand the analysis increases. See my presentation at the JMP Discovery Summit (Americas)   What is the improvement you would like to see? DTB=Data Table Box(Definition_Table)); //In the Data Table called Definition_Table, we can set the cell height and width within the table. Using the Data Table Box, these cells formatting are not carried over nor can be specified. (<<set height; set width; or set wrap is not enabled). It requires sophisticated jsl coding to have DTB outputted into a window or journal. //Desired coded, where the cell height, width, and wrap are pulled from the data table Ol1_Def=Outline Box("Definitions", DTB=Data Table Box(Meta_def)); //Or Ol1_Def=Outline Box("Definitions", DTB=Data Table Box(Meta_def) <<Set cell height(20), <<Set Cell width(150 ), <<Set Wrap (125));   Why is this idea important? This change makes it easy to report the meta data with the analysis vs for the analyst struggle coding this to make it work.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to use Space Filling with a mixture that does not sum to 1.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add an option similar to that in Custom Design to change the mixture sum.   Why is this idea important?  There are workarounds, but they add a lot of unnecessary complexity.   ...
