JMP Wish List

It's something they should have done a long time ago. UTM coordinates are widely used everywhere and it would be of great help if you could make our work easier.         ... View more

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?  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?  Add the actual control limit value to the label for the control limit lines when there are phases.    What is the improvement you would like to see?      Why is this idea important?    Sometimes we want to visualize the actual values for the limits when there are phases ...

What inspired this wish list request? I use TableBox to simulate a ListBox but with formatting     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see TableBox rows not all be forced to the exact same height     Why is this idea important? Consider a TableBox with only one attached child -- a ColBox with various elements.  The TableBox has only one column -- there is no reason to force all rows to have the same height   Consider the following JSL -- it would be nice if the first row could be sized to it's content, not to the content of the second row.   Names Default To Here( 1 ); New Window( "Mountains", tb = Table Box( Col Box( "Heights", Text Box( "Short Row" ), Spacer Box( Size( 100, 100 ), <<Background Color( "Blue" ) ) ) ) );     ...

What inspired this wish list request? Messages sent to the log can be slow and also confusing to users   What is the improvement you would like to see? Don't swamp the log with useless messages   Why is this idea important? It's more of a nuisance, really.   Consider the following JSL -- I am attaching a function to the name "print" within a custom namespace. New Namespace( "This is a NAMESPACE -- it is different than BUILTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ); "This is a NAMESPACE -- it is different than BUILTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!":print = Function( {}, Print( "Why does JMP think I am trying to overwrite a Builtin???" ) )   Why do I get this warning?  I am not trying to overwrite a Builtin.  I know that I am putting the name within a namespace and that is the way that I will be accessing the value held by that name.   Can the JMP compiler be aware of when the name is within a namespace and not send these messages to the log?  I use namespaces to create custom classes, so whenever a new instance is created it will spam the log with these superfluous messages.     ...

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 :) ...

What inspired this wish list request? When I use % of factor as the summary statistic in graph builders bar charts or am using a mosaic plot I cannot use the sort by option for the X axis.  I have to make a new column that gives the % value I am seeing on the charts and then I can use "sort by" and choose that column.     This is from the Big class data set:   If I make this column I can make it do what I would want     As I can now sort by this column             What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to be able to choose the level to sort by in the menu options.  In the case above there would also be a "levels" option that would show "M" and "F".  Which ever one was chosen would be the value the bars are sorted by.   Why is this idea important? Pareto'ing out factor levels for reject rates is a common activity in the manufacturing industry and the additional steps you need to take are not intuitive for new users (who then get frustrated because the sorting is not working like they are used to and they can't figure out how to make it work) as well as a lot of unnecessary steps, especially if you change around the factor in the X axis.   Thanks for looking this over with me @Jordan_Hiller  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Workflow did not show the correct scripts to delete columns which are referenced to another columns. The alert is confusing as well. Currently, Workflow in JMP 17 only record "Delete Columns" but not full script to "Delete Columns" which referenced to another columns.   Workaround available through scripting (1st: Delete Formula in columns that contain formula (E.g Column B), 2nd: Delete Columns (E.g Column A) that being referenced for the formula in Column B). But the objective of workflow is to have automated steps that can be shared, so that other colleagues in the organization can run the same analysis & result.    https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-delete-reference-of-formula-column-in-JSL/m-p/654997#M84413   What is the improvement you would like to see?  1) Alert  "cannot delete the selected columns while..." should add something like " 2) Improve workflow script to record choices chosen by user (Delete Formula --> Then Delete Columns) //Delete columns dt4 << Data Table( "DB.WB(Datasheet)" ); Wait(0); dt4:Diebond.End Date << Delete Formula; dt4:"2nd Diebond.End Date"n << Delete Formula; dt4:Wirebond.End Date << Delete Formula; dt4:"2nd Wirebond.End Date"n << Delete Formula; Wait(0); dt4 << Delete Columns (:Diebond End Date, :"2nd Diebond End Date"n, :Wirebond End Date, :"2nd Wirebond End Date"n); Why is this idea important?  So that the workflow can be shared to other colleagues & running as its intended purpose.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  We want to store log and debug messages of our addin-ins in a local database which can be used later for debugging purposes and we have seen that JMP has an internal SQLite support meaning that there does not need an ODBC driver to be installed.  Currently in JMP 16, 17 and 18 EA2 the internal support for SQLite is only for read (=SELECT) operations and the internal SQLIte operation has an over 8 year old version 3.8.11.1. Neither of both limitations are documented in the JMP documentation or can be found somewhere else.   E.g. the following command opens a SQLite database file in JMP:   obj = New SQL Query(        Connection("SQLite:Database=<path>\data.db"),        Custom SQL("SELECT sqlite_version(), sqlite_source_id() FROM table1") ) << Run Foreground();   BTW this command returns the version of the internally used SQLite implementation of JMP 16/17/18EA2:  sqlite_version sqlite_source_id 3.8.11.1 2015-07-29 20:00:57 cf538e2783e468bbc25e7cb2a9ee64d3e0e80b2f   But the next INSERT- or UPDATE-command results in an error: "deleted object reference[]"   obj = New SQL Query(        Connection("SQLite:Database=<path>\data.db"),        Custom SQL("INSERT INTO table1 (id, name, data) VALUES (1, \!"test\!", sqlite_version());") ) << Run Foreground();     What is the improvement you would like to see?  - Allow the SQLite implementation to execute UPDATE- and INSERT-statements to store data gathered while executing a JMP add-in. - Update the internal SQLite driver so that a more recent version of the driver can be used - current version is 3.42.0   Why is this idea important?  This idea allows storage small data for debugging or logging purposes into the SQLite database files - this format is better, more flexible and more usable than using plain text, JSON or XML files.   @martindemel  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The SVEM prediction columns are currently being saved with an ad hoc correction applied to the the vector of predictions by fitting a simple linear regression of the SVEM predictions to the original prediction column and then saving the predicted values from this simple linear regression.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Even if it is a hidden or scripting-only option, I think it would be nice to have an option to disable this correction and simply save the raw SVEM predictions.    Why is this idea important?  I would use this for testing the properties of the predictions with and without the correction. I have talked to some other users who would also be interested in this ability for the purposes of testing SVEM.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I want to be able to create project files using workflow builder so that when I need to add new data or edit database, I can rerun the workflow to generate and replace a project file with a new version   What is the improvement you would like to see?      Why is this idea important?  I prefer to save my data as project files (.jmpprj) and would like to be able to generate and save projects using workflow builder.   ...

This would just be a bit of syntactic sugar that hopefully would provide a performance improvement over a JSL for loop.  Currently there is only the ability to change one column name at a time.  With the latest changes to JMP 14 I find myself hitting APIs more often.  Unlike SQL I can't easily change the column name in the data pull.  It would be nice to just change all the column names at once after pulling my data.  I think this would improve user friendliness as well since most of the << Get statements have a corresponding << Set statement.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Testing results very often include non-numeric entries such as "N/A" or "Nil" in columns consisting of otherwise continuous numeric data. This causes JMP to class it as "Character" data, resulting in the need to recode and then reclassify the column.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I'd like JMP to be able to bring up an error message to say: "Column X's data is continuous and numeric apart from rows 35 ("N/A") and 37 ("Nil"). Would you like to change these to numeric entries?" "Yes" would then bring up a window where I could recode these two rows and it would automatically be classified as continuous numeric.   Why is this idea important?  It's easy to stick to rules for data recording if you're generating and doing the recording yourself, but if you're contracting out or getting help from others, these errors can sneak in (and I suspect they're pretty common!). This sorts of studies tend to have large data sets and to be able to work with the data without having to recode would be ideal.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?    I want to load historical control limits in the same way I load spec limits. For quality / process engineering, I often want to plot Xbar/S data with both USL, LSL and historical UCL and LCL.    You should offer the option to batch load any type of limit (many are listed under column properties). USL and LSL should not be the only choice.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I want to load historical control limits in the same way I load spec limits. For quality / process engineering, I often want to plot Xbar/S data with both USL, LSL and historical UCL and LCL.    You should offer the option to batch load any type of limit (many are listed under column properties).

What inspired this wish list request? SHAP values are invaluable for explaining ML models.   What is the improvement you would like to see? The inventor of SHAP values, Scott Lundberg, has a paper Consistent Individualized Feature Attribution for Tree Ensembles. It says "SHAP interaction values can be interpreted as the difference between the A. SHAP values for feature i when feature j is present and B. the SHAP values for feature i when feature j is absent."     Why is this idea important? My experience is that prior to modeling, a majority of collaborators ask if interactions between factors can be investigated.  Explainable ML is the key to model acceptance, and obviously ML models are deployed where nonlinearity is suspected to dominate (otherwise regression would be sufficient).     ...

Hello, When porting the output data from Matched Pairs to a (combined) data table, the various parameters are split into multiple columns. This makes the data cumbersome to use. It would be preferable for the various parameters (Mean Difference, DF, t-ratio, Prob > |t|, etc.) to be put into separate columns (with the appropriate column headers). Alternatively, they should be tabulated as stacked, with the headers in a Label column and values in a Data column. Once the data is available in one way or the other, it can be handled more easily. With the current approach, it's neither here nor there.   Regards Mehul Shroff ... View more
