It would be very helpful to allow an option for non-linear constraints for mixture DOE.

Currently, under Win10 & JMP 14.3 Pro, it appears that the only way to reorder independent variable terms within the Construct Model Effects box in the Fit Model dialog is to remove them, then re-add them in the desired order. I would like to suggest allowing their order to be shifted up/down simply by clicking and dragging within the box. This would be especially helpful for fitting models using Type I SS (where predictor effects depend on the order in which they are entered into the model).

On the Tabulate platform, I would like to be able to change the names of columns as they are displayed in the table. I do not want to change the actual column title in the data table itself; I just want to change the words that are displayed on the Tabulate report. I made a simple example table to show what I mean: I simply want to type over the column title with more descriptive words. Similar to how one would change an axis title on a chart. Currently, the Tabulate platform can ONLY display the column title.

e.g. plt = fit model(<params>); rpt = plt << report; rpt(TableBox[7]) << make data table(); but the trouble is if JMP changes or a singularity occurs TableBox[7] changes identity and is no longer the tablebox I'm after for a data table, would prefer e.g. crossvalidation_table = rpt(TableBox["Crossvalidation"]) << make data table(); -- if I'm not mistaken, directly assigning the table to a variable as in the e.g. is also a new feature request.

Hi, I had a conversation with JMP support since I assumed a bug in JMP. However, I learned the following: - If one marks certain rows as "excluded" (no matter if chosen visible or nor) they will be removed from many computations (e.g. doing a histogram does not take excluded rows into account) - If one marks certain rows as "excluded" (no matter if chosen visible or nor) they will be included as a validation set for platforms like boosted tree or bootstrap forest. Apparently this is intended behavior. Personally, it confused me and fortunately I got in contact with support to learn about it before I published the results, since in my case the excluded rows are invalid data. I just keep those for tracking purposes. So, finally my wish: could JMP be fully consistent in the use of excluded rows? Here's a quote that JMP support sent me: "The Bootstrap Forest and several other platforms in JMP Pro have a feature that if some rows are excluded, and you do not otherwise specify a Validation set, those rows are used as the Validation set. To avoid those rows from being included at all, you could: 1) Subset the data table so it doesn't include those rows, then re-run the Bootstrap Forest 2) Use a different Validation method (Holdback or Validation Column) In general, it is often a good idea to devote some rows to a Validation set. This would give you the ability to use the Early Stopping option, which can help avoid overfitting."

Sometimes you want to be able to attach a comment or document a decision that one made about a specific data point without having to create a separate variable to hold comments on a specific cell. It should be possible to give each data point its own unique property (a documentation note) that one can integrate at any stage in the analysis process. You already have this ability in terms of being able to identify a unique data point in and between different graphs so why not have a documentation property associated with each data point? Also, it might also be interesting to attach a "history" component to each data value as well so that when a variable is the result of a series of different operations (a series of different equation steps) one can see how the current value of that data point was derived. Just some thoughts as documenting decisions at the point that they are made can be essential in understanding one's data when you come back to it sometime later ;)

When using filter to select data by user (prompt) in query builder, the list box has no options. It would be great to define the number of item to select at max by the user. Else give the possibility to customize the list box with native JSL (for the listbox object with options such as max selected() , n lines() etc ...).

Search box that lets the user search Tables, Columns, Column values, Column Value Labels, Column Properties, Table Properties, Table Variables, other variables, JMP Help, JMP Sample Files,... just everything in JMP.

Currently (in JMP 14.3), Value Ordering is not respected in Graph Builder - Heatmap.

nao · ‎06-19-2019

Create a new Column Property "Reference Value" for Nominal/Ordinal Columns, which will be used for platforms like Fit Model. Currently, it's not easy to predict which value will be used as a reference. (This is determined either by Value Ordering or alphabetical order of values, but it's confusing for beginners and cumbersome for advanced users.)

This script works. dt << New Column( "FrontPeak", "numeric", "continuous", setFormula( If( :DISPENSESPEED == 1550, Maximum( :R029, :R030, :R031, :R032, :R033, :R034, :R035, :R036, :R037, :R038 ) * 1000, . ) ) ); However it would be nice to be able to be able to specify columns :R029 to :R038 or what ever number of columns. Like the excel =AVERAGE(A1:G1)

A number edit box can be easily formatted as a date by using the following numbox = Number Edit Box( 0 ,<< set format(format("ddMonyyyy")), << set(Today())); NW1 = New Window( "Example", numbox ); However, in order to achieve a similar result with a number col edit box, the formatting requires the user to pass a number as an argument to the format function. This is not intuitive and the user is left to guess what might or might not work. I would like to request the number col edit box also be provided the functionality to accept commonly known formatting types as a number edit box. Here is an example // Using Number Col Edit Box nR = 7; NEB1 = Number Col Edit Box("StartDate",Repeat(Today() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60,nR)); NEB1 << set format(format("ddMonyyyy")); NEB2 = Number Col Edit Box("StartDate",Repeat(Today(), nR )); NEB2 << set format(format("ddMonyyyy")); TB1 = Table Box(NEB1,NEB2); NW = New Window("test",TB1); See Format a Number Col Edit Box for discussion.

I make a lot of charts for presentation in Apple Keynote and MS Powerpoint. I use Graph Builder quite frequently. Very often, I have to go back and modifty a chart some time after I created it. When I do this, I quite often have no idea what table the chart was saved with. It would be wonderful if Graph Builder (and perhaps other JMP platforms) would have an option to add text to a chart with the name of the source table. Something small and not too visible in a lower corner perhaps. This would vastly simplify tracking down charts when I need them again. Thanks for all the great work you do.

Background: I like that the default behavior in JMP is "automatic recalc" turned OFF. Sometimes I need to turn it ON, and I am grateful that this happens whenever I open a Local Data Filter. But during a typical JMP session I will end up with tens of windows open at the same time, some with legends and some without, some with automatic recalc turned ON and some with it OFF. JMP's row states can start to get pretty unpredictable in this frequently encountered situation. Problem: One way to restore predictability to row colors and markers is for a user to close whichever windows have both (1) a row legend and (2) automatic recalc turned ON, but sometimes it's hard to find those windows among all that are open. Proposed Solutions: 1. Enhance various "window list" interfaces with a small icon that flags reports where there is at least one chart with automatic recalc turned ON. Right now those window list interfaces already have two other icons: a circle for tables that have not been saved since their last modification and a check mark for the currently viewed window. It seems to me that a third icon for reports that have automatic recalc turned ON would not interfere with those other icons. (In the case where the currently viewed window has automatic recalc turned ON, perhaps the check mark would take precedence over the automatic recalc icon?) 2. Alternatively, enhance various "window list" interfaces with a small icon that flags reports where there is at least one instance of a chart with both (a) a row legend and (b) automatic recalc turned ON. This logic would be more targeted and truly more relevant to solving the problem, but also more complicated to explain to users who are new to JMP. 3. Perhaps the "close multiple" interface could be enhanced with a button for "Select Automatic Recalc"

I am using graph builder to map data. I want to be able to overlay the outlines of my area of interest with the existing shape file for US counties. However the best I can manage is to concatenate the two shape files and create a new combined file. While this "works", I am unable to make the AoI a different color so that it stands out. It would be great to be able to select more than one boundary from the background maps menu, and to be able to alter the properties of each separately.

Daehong · ‎04-12-2019

Just like the raw state, make the column states functional. Also make sure you have some excluded columns, how many are selected, and the ability to save column state. Maybe a similar function is in jmp. If you know such a function, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

I would love it if there was a possibility for hidden namespaces Where Names default to here(1); new namespace("_Test"); get namespace names() wouldn't show the "_Test" namespace.

uday_guntupalli · ‎03-23-2019

The current documentation of Python Get() states that : It would be helpful to add the ability to also retrieve dictionaries from Python. Dictionaries are commonly used in Python and will easily translate into Associative Arrays in JMP.

I strongly request JMP please develop a more completed map of China for Chinese users in the upcoming version, including Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, islands of South China Sea and nine-dotted line so that I can publish my analysis result to some platforms like video website, BBS, and even knowledge database website to publish my paper.

Our students/coworkers typically find themselves with specific needs related to the graphical depiction of the STRUCTURE of data. We would like JMP to either improve or modify the existing capability for Ishikawa / Fishbone diagrams to enable the creation of "trees" depicting a data collection, or to ignore the Diagram platform to provide a new way to take a list of variables in a data collection, and display the structure of the data easily in tree format. A) Depiction of the data present in existing files/DBs, including the presence of confounding in that data - independent variables that are NOT tracked or present in the existing data, but are confounded with fields that are (Example: Age and Height might not be tracked in a database that DOES have a field for WEIGHT) - so the tree might show that we have five patients, and each has a WEIGHT in the database, but we each also has an Age and Height NOT present in the data. We show this because in the analysis we want to indicate where an effect might be INCORRECTLY attributed to a variable present, when in fact it could be due in part or total to some other variable we did not collect. B) Depiction of NEW data collected passively (sampling plans). The need here is essentially the same as A, but is listed separately as this data would not exist at the time the plan is created. C) Factor Relationship Diagrams (FRDs). Essentially the depiction of a DOE created by JMP, with design structure based on the chosen design parameters, but then also the capability of placing within each combination a tree for the unmanipulated variables (unit structure)..For example, for the combination - + + - we would also want to know / show that within this combination, there were two machines examined, and within each we took two material samples. Ideally Design Structure would be BLACK, and Unit Structure RED. To attempt to do this via the Diagram platform is awkward, and we are in particular interested in C, as JMP is typically where we choose our design, so it would be nice to have it just translate that into a diagram. Later enhancements would increase flexibility of unit structure capability, including the ability to add CONDITIONS at the top of any diagram (noises/variables constant throughout).
