JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Desire to see simultaneously peaks on a histogram that are orders of magnitude different on the Count axis. A linear scale will flatten the smaller peak, whereas a log10 scale would reveal all peaks, large and small.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add an option to switch to log scale of the Count axis in histograms in Distribution platform, just like Graph Builder offers it. If a count is zero, do not show a bar.   Why is this idea important?  For my job as a defect metrologist I need to be able to see both large and small (sometimes several orders of magnitude apart on the count axis) subpopulations on a histogram. The count axis in log scale is the only way I know to achieve this. @PatrickGiuliano  ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I saw that in JMP 17 we can now change the value order of a variable in Graph Builder, and it will save that property back to the column.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see this same feature applied to the Tabulate platform.  I often build summary tables and this is where I frequently become aware that I need to fix the values in a particular order other than their occurrence or alphabetically.  Being able to do this right from the Tabulate page would be great.   Why is this idea important?  It's efficient and consistent with other platforms.   ...

Problem When JMP imports data, e.g., a CSV or an XLSX file, JMP guesses the appropriate Data Type and Modeling Type for each Column. This guess is helpful but is not (cannot be) perfect for every scenario. When a large table, e.g., one with hundreds of Columns, is imported, subtle imperfection of the guessing may lead to a lot of repetitive manual work afterwords. Specifically, JMP treats all Numeric Columns as Continuous.   Suggestion I believe many users will benefit if some simple rule-based branching is added here. A specific example of such rules can be adding an option to treat Columns which contains only integers contains only a small number, e.g, 10 or less, of unique values as Nominal.   I believe this applies to all recent versions, e.g., 14, 15, 16, and 17. ...

If development of Script Editor will continue (and I hope it will, or hopefully JMP/SAS will create functionality/support to some other code editor) add support for code snippets.

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     In the Table summary menu, for tables with modeling type multiple response, please provide a checkbox to use/not use the multiple response.   At the moment, the below code generates a summary table like this:   such a table could make sense /how many students have 2 and more sports activities?) But with the checkbox, the user could decide if he perfers the first table or a summary table which analyzeds and groups the multiple response entries (like GraphBuilder would do in Jmp 17): On the other hand:  I am quite happy that Summarylists multiple response columns (although it doesn't use the information). [much worse: tabulate doesn't even list such columns: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/enable-quot-tabulate-quot-support-for-columns-with-modeling-type/idi-p/557686]   Names Default To Here( 1 ); dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" ); New Column( "sports", Character, "Multiple Response", Set Selected, Set Values( {"", "running", "", "tennis", "tennis", "tennis, football", "tennis, running", "", "", "football", "running", "", "tennis", "", "football", "running", "tennis", "", "", "tennis", "", "football, running", "running", "running", "running", "running", "", "tennis", "", "football", "football", "tennis, football, running", "football", "tennis, football", "running", "", "", "", "football", ""} ) ); Data Table( "Big Class" ) << Summary( Group( :sex ), N, Subgroup( :sports ), Freq( "None" ), Weight( "None" ) );         more wishes submitted by   ...

Hi.  I'd like to see a command that could move a window relative to the display size.  That is, if I want to move a window to the center of my display, the command might look like:   win << Move Window Relative(0.5, 0.5)   If the user has multiple displays, the command would assume the current display is being used.   Currently, if I want my script to center a window: 1. Create a dummy window that is assumed to be larger than any display (10k x 10k). 2. Get the resulting window's actual size.  This is assumed to be the size of the user's display. 3. Close this window. 4. Now create the intended window and get its size. 5. Compute the desired new window upper-left corner coordinates using the display size and window size. 6. Move the new window using the << Move Window command.   I find that it helps to improve the users' experiences with the tools I'm developing if my windows always appear in the same place when they use it, rather than changing locations each time.  Not being able to predict the users' display sizes necessitates the steps above however. ...

It would be quite convenient if JMP allowed the Substitute() function to have an optional argument such as Substitute( ...., First Occurrence( 1 ) ) .  This will help when passing arguments into a function by reference.  Consider the following: some function = Function( {_function, _args}, {Default Local}, function = Name Expr( _function ); Eval( Substitute( _args, {}, Expr( function ) ) ) ); other function = Function( {_1, _2, _3 = "optional"}, Show( _1, _2, _3 ) ); some function( Name Expr( other function ), {1, 2, 3} ); /* OUTPUT _1 = 1; _2 = 2; _3 = 3; */ some function( Name Expr( other function ), {1, {2, 4}, 3} ); /* EXPECTED OUTPUT _1 = 1; _2 = {2, 4}; _3 = 3; */ Here in the first function I am calling a referenced function with a given argument list.  The problem is that the Subsitute() replaces all lists with the function call, instead of the outer one only.  This is where it would be nice to substitute only the first occurrence of the List() expression. ...

Hi JMP Users and JMP team,   I had an old idea looking at the visual "Split history" from the Decision Tree platform (see image "Split_history" attached), and thinking about this visualisation for DoE models created by the "Fit Model" or "Fit Stepwise" platforms.   Would it be possible and feasible to add in these platform (or in one of these platforms) a similar graph showing the evolution of different models metrics (like R², R² adjusted, RMSE, p-value of the model, ... perhaps to be chosen/selected by the user) in order to help the user define the best possible model (perhaps as an option in the red triangle like "Split history") ? It could be a sort of graph, that updates each time the user deletes a term from the model or add one, and that shows the result of this step on different metrics compared to previous models/steps, in order for the user to have an overview about how big the change may be for the model depending on the term removed/added (see for example image "DoE-Model_selection-help"). Maybe this idea would be easier to implement on the Fit Stepwise platform, as this platform already shows the step history and various metrics linked to each model (see image "DoE-Stepwise").  I share with you a datatable with an example of DoE, with various noise level on the response. In the various scripts "Table models parameters and selection ...", I saved the different metrics for each model steps, and created a profiler with various functions and desirabilities (R², R² PRESS, RMSE, etc...). The goal was to use the profiler in order to find the best possible model step. I hope this does not sound too crazy or over-complex, as I see this new feature as a good opportunity for models creator to quickly look at how terms impact their models in a simple way. The Generalized Regression platform also has a similar visualization ("Solution Path") that helps a lot decide about the model. I would be interested to get some feedback about this, ... View more

Currently JMP allows showing Count in data filters. It would be helpful if user could choose which summary statistic to use and even better would be if different column could be used to for the numerical value in the filter (with user chosen summary statistic, but I would be happy with just the value). This would provide lots of customization to the data filters.   In my (current) use case I build data filter based on summary table because my "main table" is too large for JMP to handle easily. Currently I'm just ignoring the count because they will all just show 1. If using different column was possible, I could use summary tables N Rows column instead.   ... View more

A process map or value stream map builder feature would be awesome.  The user would enter the process step name and have the option to enter additional elements like factors, responses, noise, specifications, levels, cycle times, etc. for each step.  The user could also select factors and create a DOE or link process steps to capability and control chart data sets to identify bottlenecks, critical chains, or areas for improvement.  JMP could also develop analysis platforms focused on the relationships between process steps.  ...

When using 'colour or mark by column' from the 'Rows' menu, one can assign different symbols or colours to different variables, but the graph legend in graph builder does not update to show the reader what each symbol or colour represents (the actual data points update, but the legend does not) - it would be great if we could have the legend update as well to really elevate this functionality.  ...

I think it should be possible to add custom axis breaks to the Graph Builder, in the same way it is often possible in other graphing software like Origin Lab.   At the moment, producing a good display for continuous X-axis data with X-axis grouping is quite involved. For example: if we have continuous timestamps over multiple days, but the data goes only for one hour during each day, but you still want the graph to show the course during a single day.   Previous post explaining the problem: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-insert-X-axis-break-in-graph-builder/m-p/525673 ...

I'd like to suggest the following for equivalence testing and practical difference testing: Add a column property for practical difference limits.  This will be reference whenever an equivalence test is done in Distribution, Fit Y by X, and Response Screener In Distribution, Fit Y by X, and Fit Model, add in a report out option for practical significance.  This would be in line with the report out options you can get from Response Screener -> save compare means. I'd also like to see equivalency testing and practical difference testing for Stdev's (variances would be fine as well)   ... View more

Hello JMP team, I'd like to suggest the following for the column options: On the columns list located on the left side of a data table, can you add the options for standardized attribute, column properties, formula, recode, and new formula column when you right click on the column? On the main column titles, can you make it so that by clicking on the column and holing the alt key that it will move that column into view on the column list at the left of the datatable? On the columns list located on the left side of a data table, can you add an option to filter by modeling and data type? Thanks for considering these options. Steve ... View more

In an unequal slopes ANCOVA model the individual slopes can be estimated with the Estimates > Custom test or Estimates > Compare slopes option in the output for Fit model. Standard errors and p-values are also given but I miss confidence intervals for the slopes. This should also be possible if additional random effects are added to the model (a mixed model). ...

Missing data is a common problem with data analysis.  I would like JMP to include the option to perform multiple imputation on data with missing values.  Currently I am sure many of us are restricted to options like R when it comes to performing such functiions on data and this option in JMP would only serve to make JMP the all-in-one data analysis solution which it is gaining a growing reputation for. ...

In graph builder, the default min/center/max values for the default three color gradient only work well for normal data. To help this work for other data: Change the default values to the 2.5, 50, and 97.5 percentiles to increase the likelihood of a useful graph by default. Introduce a histogram with sliding bars (similar to a local data filter) which would allow the user to move those values around visually. The default settings for this chart: would become: Instead of the user just seeing this: they would have a chart like this to further adjust the Minimum, Center, and Maximum settings:   ... View more
