JMP Wish List

Create JSL functions to interact with Keychain on mac, Credential Store on Windows, and the Secret Service API on Linux.  This could be very similar to the open source keyring R package.   This would provide a better solution for this post: save passwords securely  and the script here: Set and get credentials in the Credential Manager via PowerShell on Windows   ...

For character columns, the Distribution Platform has an option to Test Probabilities.  The Hypoth Prob column that is displayed and manually entered, needs to have an option to split the Probabilities equally among the categories displayed.  This option is a very common selection and would make the usage of this analysis a much friendlier tool. ...

## Problem to Solve Many times I can't tell the difference between a date and a number in that range.  I can check the format of a column, but if I'm just holding a date value it can be a problem.   ## Possible Solution As date() says that it marks a date time value internally for output purposes.  I'm wondering if it would be possible to just have all date time formats use this value.  Plus it would have the benefit of having dt:datetime[1] return a human readable output.   If all date time jmp values used this internal value, IsDate() could just check that value.     I obviously could be way oversimplifying it in my brain.       ...

Match JMP probit analysis with PROC PROBIT from SAS, including LACKFIT option. SAS will assume normal or T distribution depending on the lack of fit test result. LoD and CI results from the two platforms can vary based on this difference. ... View more

Make it possible to group a single column so it can be labeled similar to other groups that contain multiple columns.  For example a table might have the following groups: Unit 1 X vars Unit 1 Y vars Unit 2 X vars Unit 2 Y vars Unit 3 X vars :Single Column that is a Unit 3 Y variable but has an unrelated name Column groups are handy in tables with many columns.   Making a group of target variables or columns related to a prediction make the tables easy to navigate, and grouping single columns would allow a user to use standard or logical group names regardless of the analysis size.  It also might be beneficial to make groups with no columns, to be populated later. ...

Problem: just received data set and a list of target variables which are not in order.  Need a fast way to search for these variables and group them.  It is easy to search for columns in the column viewer, but navigating to Move Selected Columns to beginning/end takes several clicks and some waiting.   Solution: add an option to move selected columns to beginning or end in the Columns viewer.  Once they are all at the beginning or end it is easy enough to group and move them. ...

Store alternate column names or attributes, be able to switch between those names in platforms and the data table, and easily view those names while hovering over the column name or points.   While moving through exploratory, modeling, and presentation phases of work it is helpful to name columns differently, for example depending on the audience and context a column could be represented as any of the following or more.     Unit98765.Tag12345.SP Feed Flow Controller Set Point Feed Flow Controller Set Point (Unit98765.Tag12345.SP) Feed Flow Controller Set Point (m3/s) Especially while working in JMP with an audience (for example answering questions with ad-hoc analyses during a presentation) it is helpful to have as much info about columns accessible with as few clicks as possible, but these tools could speed up work for all users.   Common places this would be handy include these activities for data tables with hundreds or thousands of columns:   Search for columns when picking columns in graph builder, and verify the correct column was picked Default names in graph builder Column contribution, variable importance, and similar tables ...

Has anyone working on disposable medical products (or other single use products) ever wished that JMP had a user-friendly graphically driven "Reliability Plotting" platform or similar graphically driven method for calculating Reliability and Confidence (R&C) directly for non-normal data?    Reliability Plotting is a method originally developed with industrial application in electronics, and is a way of applying transformations to univariate data on a plot of Median Rank (or % Cumulative of the Data, transformed if necessary) versus the Raw data (or a transformation of that data, if necessary) -- in order to linearize that plot for the purposes of R&C estimation (where R in this context refers to % of product in-specification and C refers to % confidence level).           So, ultimately transformations are applied in Y and/or in X to get a best-fitting straight line, and the % in-spec can be determined at the extrapolated value of Y at the corresponding specification limit(s) in X.  From this extrapolation a confidence limit can be calculated, and the resultant %in-spec (i.e. % Reliability) at the chosen % Confidence level can be obtained.   This method is very powerful because it uses more information than k-tables for computing C&R, where it considers the relative location of the data to the line of best fit, whereas the classical "k-tables method" uses only the mean and standard deviation of the data.    I attach an infographic to further explain conceptually what I am talking about! (courtesy of my friend John Zorich, MS, CQE, who developed his own Excel spreadsheet version of this method, with many textbook references).     JMP has the "Life Distribution" Platform, and "Custom Estimation" and these tools provide some semblance of the Reliability Plotting method, but bottom line is they are not designed to output the C/R in a direct, intuitive, and graphically-driven way.  I would love to know if anyone else is familiar with this technique and if there others would find it useful to have a ready implementation in JMP?   Thanks! I include @Daniel_Valente at JMP whom I've discussed this with in recent weeks.    Cheers, @PatrickGiuliano    ... View more

Really would like more than the current hidden layers available.  JMP Pro makes analysis very easy for CART, Random Forests, Naive Bayes, and SVMs but the Neural Net model is limited to too few layers.  Consequently I go to R to build more sophisticated deep nets.  Would be so much easier if this capability was incorporated into JMP.  Thanks, Shaun ...

Given a FROM and TO column of data, JMP should be able to make a state diagram.   So for Data like this: FROM            TO A                     B B                     C C                     A C                     D D                     A     The State Model would be:       _____________________     /                           \                 \  |                              |                  | V                              |                  | A   -->    B     -->      C     -->       D   If JMP could do this with graphical output that would be amazing! Then being able to add graphlets when I hover of them I can monitor my whole process graphically! Thanks!     ... View more

In JMP 15 it became possible to to view contribution plots for T2 within PLS and PCA models. To make these more usable, bring some functions from the [also new] Multivariate Drive Multivariate Control Chart to the PLS and PCA platforms, and add some new features.   Specifically: Sort contribution plots by descending contribution, make sure it continues to be possible to scale the axis to only show the top few variables. Transform the contribution plot so column labels are in rows to make them easier to read Let the user display contributions for selected rows in a table (or mean for selected rows) Link to uni-variate control charts for selected variables within the contribution plots or tables Show contributions for T2 and DModX in both platforms, plus DModY in PLS On both distance and T2 charts, let the user change the x axis to any other variable.  For example for time series data I frequently want this to be time.   As a use case, here is the chart I would use to explain to someone what is different about row 4893 of the Responses in the Probe sample data set. Right now this is difficult and resource intensive to draw. Please make this easy for new JMP users to create the same chart:   ... View more

I have periodic inprocess record for batches manufactured. I need to calculate batch specific mode for the respective in-process record. I can't see the option of mode statistics in Analyze > tabulate. Rather than calculating it from raw data and populate to data table and then in tabular summary using analyze>tabulate option, it would be handy and time effective if the Mode statistics is default available in in tabulate.
