JMP Wish List

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.   ...

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.      ...

What inspired this wish list request?  If I make several charts and I want them attached to my data table, I need to go to each chart and save it to the data table. (I know I can also mess around with the log file, or I could do a work flow, but sometimes things happen organically and there might be intermediate steps in the log or flow I don't want.)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add an option where when you select the chart icons, there is a 'Save to Data Table' option. Then you could do all of them at once.     Why is this idea important?  Clicks are time, and time is money.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  As the problem asked in Re: How to automatically detect primary key and secondary key of SQLite when ope... - JMP User Community, currently JMP can only auto detect primary-keys/foreign-keys/indexed columns by using an ODBC driver, while opening a SQLite file directly cannot.    What is the improvement you would like to see? JMP is able to detect SQLite primary-keys/foreign-keys/indexed columns without an ODBC driver.    Why is this idea important?  It would make SQLite data access a lot simpler by getting rid of adjusting table joining conditions manually. ...

no code to insert What inspired this wish list request?    Win ratio analyses can be used for clinical trial composite outcomes, comparing treatment to standard of care.  While there is an R package (winratio) based on the Bebu and Lakin paper (see attachment below), there is no canned function that I can find in any of the JMP packages or scripts by users.  Medical device manufacturers, CRO's, and others would use this function.     What is the improvement you would like to see?    A canned JMP function based on the winratio R package.   Why is this idea important?      ...

What inspired this wish list request? After contacting JMP support regarding Bug when using combination of set each value, tables with same column name(s) and col statistical functions within a loop (00049239) I got to know that the way I have been using << Set Each Value and Col statistical functions (such as Col Rank() and Col Sum()) successfully for many years are unintended. The inspiration here is that the way they currently work make scripting in JMP much much faster and easier when creating new columns and if the behaviours were to change, I would have to rewrite all my scripts (most likely I will just start using something like Python at that point for all my data manipulation scripting needs).   What is the improvement you would like to see? Change the behaviour where user can use << Set Each Value with formula expression as  supported behaviour. Change the behaviour where expressions can be used as first argument (or any argument?) in Col statistical functions  as supported behaviour. Or at least provide confirmation that the behaviour won't be changing.   Why is this idea important? There are hundreds or thousands of examples in JMP community where these functions/messages are being used wrong. I use them wrong in almost all of my scripts as those behaviours are so powerful and much faster than any other options I know of in JMP. If these are to change without any notice (or even with notice) I will have to stay with some older version of JMP which still support these behaviours or start using other means for my data manipulation tasks.   Some examples from community: First Value for a Unique ID , How to calculate relativ values based on a position of a base value? , Special Formula Columns , Searching Maximum value of each row across several column and name of source column , Fill column with values based on another column with keys and associative array , JSL Companion 2nd Edition Applications of the JMP Scripting Language, Second Edition contains examples of using << Set Each value (for example 3_CreateDeleteColumns.jsl) ...

What inspired this wish list request? This post Referencing a table that is created via "make into data table"  where user is creating complicated Workflow and tries to get values from report tables (when JMP creates tables from report table boxes they will get named "Untitled automatically.)   What is the improvement you would like to see? When user uses Make Into Data Table or Make Combined Data Table let them choose the name of resulting table.   Why is this idea important? Improves JMP's capability to provide robust scripts to user (easier for non-scripter people to create automatisations with enhanced log and workflow builder). ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I use line charts a lot without using the X element, so that the line goes all the way across the chart and shows some summary value, usually the mean. I started to try and put in the CI error bands to show if they overlap but found that the current behavior of JMP does not work as I expected.  Here you can see the error bands are just a sliver on the left side of the chart.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the error bands go all the way across line element. I could make it look like this by using the bar chart element and making the width of the bar and band=100 but it shouldn’t be that hard in my mind.   Why is this idea important? This would standardize the expected behavior in JMP for the user as well as provide a quick and easy way to show overall summary values with some time of interval band, which is a standard thing to report out on across all industries.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Sometimes it is important to know the number of a column in a data table for scripting. Currently, only values of a column can be shown and hidden in the header graphs (see figure below).   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see also the number of the column in the data table, see picture below.   Why is this idea important?  Scripts might need the column number of a data table due to changeable header names.     @martindemel  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Variables are used in scripts. Currently the scripter has always write each variable name in to the script.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  It would be better if there is an autofill function, which suggests the scripter at the first letters of the variable name a list of variable names already existing in the script.     Why is this idea important?  It's important to reduce the time for scripting and have more time for solving problems :-).   @martindemel  JMP 16.2.0 ...

What inspired this wish list request?  A Community Discussion item came in that had the need to separate into columns, each individual character in found in one of the columns in a data table.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to enhance the Text to Columns function to be able to specify an empty delimiter, which would indicate to the function to use each individual character as a new column   Why is this idea important?  It adds nice functionality to the function and it also makes the function more consistent with other JLS functions, such as the Words function.   ...
