JMP Wish List

Hi, after the implementation of the Functional Data Explorer it would be very helpful to extend the transformation possibilities in order to handle spectroscopic (e.g. NIR/ MIR-data) inside this nice and handy platform. To use this kind of data I use "UnscramblerR" on a regular base to convert reflectance data to transmission data, change wafelength to wavenumber, do Kubelka-Munk and/or S. Golay transformations, calculate derivatives, smoothen spectra curves and so on. But as it is quite work intens to import the data into Excel, go to Unscrambler do the calcuations - sometimes more kinds than realy necessary (which I detect afterwards using JMPPRO), back to Excel and than finally to JMPPRO to dig inside the data, it would be a big releave to  do all this things just inside JMPPRO.

Why not simplify naming in JMP and call the Cp and Cpk values as "capability" and the Pp and Ppk values as "performance", i.e. drop the term "overall sigma capability"? Since Pp and Ppk are estimates of past performance based on the descriptive statistic "overall SD" it seems to me misleading to label them as "capability".  I think it would be helpful to have capability more clearly aligned to stable/ predictable processes i.e. "within sigma" and leave the Pp/Ppk values as simple (and often useful) descriptions of past performance. ...

I was recently running OC curves to determine AQL and RQL figures. Of interest was the difference in these figures when different sample sizes are used. It would be great to have the option of entering multiple sample sizes (along with population size, and allowable defects), and then plot the overlapped OC curves on one plot to help you visualise the ‘trade-off’ that exists in AQL/RQL figures for various sample size options. At present, JMP will only show curves for individual sample sizes. ... View more

Most of the tables that JMP uses have the magic JMP Home Button icon bottom right of the table which takes you back to the Home Window . I use the Query builder a lot and if I have a number of JMP applications open it can be quite tricky to find which one contains the query as well as any other tables I'm using.   Can the JMP Home window button be added to the Query Builder ( as well as any others not currently having it)?   David   ...

I am not sure if this applies to the vast community, but our company uses Tableau extensively and have many Tableau data sources. It would great if we can connect a tableau data source as source instead of connecting directly to a server/database. It is useful for people in bigger corporations/ lower level analysts who cannot have access to the DBs directly but can use an existing tableau data source for analysis in JMP.  ... View more

On a few occasions I had to extract tables from pdf files. Now, I used online converters of pdf tables to Excel, and then went from Excel to JMP. It is probably not too complex to allow users to open pdf files containing tables staight away in JMP? If free online website can offer that service, I'd expect that JMP should be capable as well! ... View more

It would be nice to have an option that Clopper-Pearson ("Exact") Intervals (and Bounds) be reported in the Distribution Platform, additionally to Score Confidence Intervals. This could be a setting in the Platform Preferences or an option under the red triangle menu for "Confidence Intervals" or additional Columns in "Confidence Intervals".   This is not a matter of arguing that one interval is better than the other (it is known that Clopper-Pearson Intervals are overly conservative) but rather a matter of offering a method that many people (and regulatory bodies) are familiar with.   There is a JMP "Calculators" Skript (under Help -> Sample Data -> Calculators -> Confidence Interval for One Proportion) that offers this type of interval, but it's not editable, e.g. if one is interested in the proportion of "Fails", these can only be labelled "Successes", and when working with raw data it doesn't recognise hidden and excluded rows.    There is a Discussion in the Community about this topic where one user provided a formula solution (from the Hahn & Meeker book on Statistical Intervals):  clopper-pearson confidence interval for proportion    It is nice to have at least these options, but for reporting purposes both workarounds are not a good option.   The following picture shows the Distribution Platform output on the left and the Calculators-tool (Clopper-Pearson) output on the right: ...

XBar control chart allows me to use the average range (or average standard deviation). In cases where some subgroup ranges (or standard deviations) are of high / very high value in relation to the routine values (i.e. "outliers"), their effect is to inflate the average range and to inflate the limits on the chart. To avoid cycling through a delete and revise approach it is sometimes better and easier to just create limits based on the median range. Can we please include this as an option in JMP? I think it would valuable. Moreover, if we allow for the median moving range for IR charts, why not allow for the median range for XBar charts? ... View more

As discussed many times with JMP representative over the last 10 years, a good improvement would be that the prediction profiler allows more model 'predictive checks', e.g comparing data to prediction intervals and visualizing the prediction intervals on the prediction profiler (because, really, to get an idea of the prediction of tomorrow's outcome for my process, the confidence interval usefulness is close to 0).   Similarly, when computing p(defect) in the simulator, this is a little sad to use a Normal approximation of the predictive distribution (i.e. normal(mean, RMSE) ) instead of the more correct form of a Student accounting for RSME but also for design uncertainty. This latter is completely forgotten now, and which makes it statistically wrong, especially with small d.f.. Unfortunately, small d.f. is the norm, when using DoE.   (I mean, the closed-form solution even exists for multivariate multiple linear regression (not much more computations), and then, instead of writing manually a correlation matrix, we could use the one computed from the data, right ?)... ...

The tolerance intervals in the distribution platform require you to adjust the proportion and confidence levels for each response individually.  It would be great if a preference could set the confidence, proportion and 1-sided/two-sided along with the option to remove the input prompt when performing the analysis. ...

Highly regulated fields such as medical devices or pharmaceutical require that a statistical rationale for any design verification and validation activity is used. If a variable is continuous, the sample size for tolerance interval is a calculation based on the type of interval (1 vs. 2 tails), confidence, population coverage and margin of error. If a variable is an attribute, typically a count of conforming items, the calculation's output is an acceptance number (maximum number of non-conforming items that can be accepted in the experiment) and a sample size, based on confidence and population coverage.   Sometimes even the conformity of a product is defined on a such statistical basis, sometimes with numbers which are impossible to find in tables: Les contrôles des leucocytes résiduels dans les PSL sont effectués dans un délai maximal de 24 heures après la déleucocytation. De plus, les contrôles de chaque type de PSL, dans chaque établissement de transfusion sanguine (ETS), doivent montrer que, pour un calcul fait avec un degré de confiance de 95 % et en utilisant un plan d'échantillonnage adapté, les contenus ci-dessus doivent être respectés au minimum dans : 97 % de la production des PSL cellulaires déleucocytés ; 95 % de la production des plasmas à usage thérapeutique déleucocytés. (e.g. allowed white blood cells post filtration in France, 97% conformity with 95% confidence see link https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000023140529 ) So these tools are common also in PCMF (post market clinical follow-up) activities or market monitoring.   It would be nice to see this topic covered in JMP.   Some links: http://reliabilityanalyticstoolkit.appspot.com/sample_size https://support.minitab.com/en-us/minitab/18/help-and-how-to/statistics/power-and-sample-size/how-to/sample-size/sample-size-for-tolerance-intervals/before-you-start/example/ https://www.qualitymag.com/articles/91991-sample-sizes-how-many-do-i-need http://www.cbinet.com/sites/default/files/files/Session12_Golden_Alan_pres.pdf https://www.mddionline.com/sample-size-selection-using-margin-error-approach   ...

Sometimes I like to work stuff out in a text editor. But when I try to cut/copy and paste into the script editor, I can't, not directly. I can open a note, paste the text inside of the note, and then move the text from the note to the editor. Same seems to be true for SQL Query builder. What's confusing about this is that I'm able to copy text from a web site and paste it into (at least) script editor. ... View more

Hello, Some statistical SW packages offer the ability to compare two or more sets of reliability or life data in order to determine which of the data sets has a more favorable life distribution. The data sets could be from two alternate designs, manufacturers, lots, assembly lines, etc. The data sets may contain censored data. In general, the problem boils down to that of being able to determine any statistically significant difference between the two (or more) samples of potentially censored data from two possibly different populations. These tools comes to mind: (a) Contour Plots: To determine whether two data sets are significantly different and at what confidence level, one can utilize the contour plots. By overlaying two contour plots from two different data sets at the same confidence level, one can visually assess whether the data sets are significantly different at that confidence level if there is no overlap on the contours (were the same distribution must be fitted to both data sets). for eample see: http://reliawiki.org/index.php/Comparing_Life_Data_Sets#Contour_Plots (b) Life Comparison Tool: suggested by Gerald G. Brown and Herbert C. Rutemiller, to estimate the probability of whether the times-to-failure of one population are better or worse than the times-to-failure of the second (could be from differnt distributions). The same tool could be used to perform Stress-Strength analysis. For example of life comparion tool see: http://reliawiki.org/index.php/Comparing_Life_Data_Sets#Life_Comparison_Tool For example of Stress-Strength analysis see: http://reliawiki.org/index.php/Stress-Strength_Analysis ...
