JMP Wish List

When I drop a parameter in the "Page" section of the Graph Builder several plots are generated on top of each other. It would be great if I can change the layout so I get more plots per row. I see there is such option in Distribution platform "Arrange in Rows". Note that Wrap in Graph builder is not helpful if you need to have plots with different scales. ... View more

The idea is to add an option to allow users to display a multivariate correlation factor directly in Graph Builder, as can be done for RMSE or Rsquare with Line Of Fit for instance. This would help in instances where one wants to show that some linear correlation exist in some sampling locations while it is not the case in others. An anonymised example has been attached for more clarity. It is of course possible to make a dashboard with the multivariate results and Graph Builder but I don't find this ideal for Power Point presentations. I appreciate that the correlation factor can also be added manually on the Graph Builder but this can be time consuming when there are numerous plots.   ... View more

The food industry relies heavily on a program called Genesis by ESHA on calculating nutritional information for food products. This is the breakdown that goes on the label on the packaging of food products - Fats, Carbs, Sodium etc. The program has a database of nutritional values for different food ingredients. These ingredients can then be combined to create "recipes". If JMP could develop a similar module, I would definitely give it a try. ... View more

I would love it if I could force include() to use the default directory of the parent (or whatever I have set it to, instead of creating its own).   For example Names default to here(1); dir = convert file path("$DESKTOP\TestDefaultDirectory\"); create directory(dir); parent = JSLQuote( Set Default Directory(convert file path("$DESKTOP")); print("Parent"); show(Get Default Directory()); include("TestDefaultDirectory\child.jsl"); print("Parent"); show(Get Default Directory()); ); save text file(convert file path("Parent.jsl", base(dir)), parent); child = JSLQuote( print("Child"); show(Get Default Directory()); ); save text file(convert file path("Child.jsl", base(dir)), child); nw = open(convert file path("Parent.jsl", base(dir))); script = nw[scriptbox(1)]; script << Run(); Returns "Parent" Get Default Directory() = "/Desktop/"; "Child" Get Default Directory() = "/Desktop/TestDefaultDirectory/"; "Parent" Get Default Directory() = "/Desktop/"; I want the child to also return "/Desktop/"   ...

When you try to recode a column that has the List Check property, and the recoded value you want to use is not in the list of items for the list check, Recode gives you a warning that this has happened, but then it appears that it will allow you to do the recode.  However, when you click ok the recoding does not actually happen.     I think it would be good to have the option in Recode to either delete the List Check property or update the list check property with the new value that has been added with recode.     The use case is when you have a column with a list check that has missing values, and you want to recode the missing values to another value (e.g. "Missing") so that you can use that as an informative missing category for prediction purposes.     ...

I downloaded and ran Tarek's Model Classification Explorer Add-In that he created as a JMP Intern with @KarenC and @mia_stephens.    This is a great add-in for nominal logistic regression for holdout data so that we can apply the logistic equation to the holdout set in its own data file. It's important for a team lead on a modeling project to keep a holdout set under lock-and-key, so being able to grab it (once you think you have the best model of course!) and upload as a new JMP data file and then apply the function from our other file, and explore the performance measures, confusion matrices and ROC curves.   HOWEVER, I have had this add-in freeze on me and/or take a very long time (even with small data sets). Yes, it works on some sample data set (Diabetes, Donuts), but in the real world using real data we need to understand how to format it and input it.   * COULD YOU FORMALIZE THIS ADD-IN to function in JMP in the next version, as a platform or menu item? And maybe take some of the bugs out? And allow it to work on larger data sets? Thank you! ... View more

I am a discrete event simulation expert... I know JMP used to have a Simulation Studio module, now I would need to purchase SAS OR to use it. In several projects I execute, adding a simulation process on top of other analyzes in JMP would be very useful - actually I analyze data and switch to a simulation platform afterwards. Would it be difficult to bring back the Simulation Studio?  ... View more

Problem statement: I will often plot a time trend, setting a categorical variable to Overlay role (and often checking several different factors, so first overlaying by column A, then overlay by column B, then column C, etc.) But when there are categories containing many different groups, the plots can get extremely busy (see below,) and it's hard to tell "large N" smoother lines that have a large data set in that group from "small N" lines that are just a spline fit to ~3-5 data points.   Suggestion: Could a "dynamic width" option be added to Smoother that adjusts the line thickness depending on data volume? Lines with a large number of data points would be thicker, and lines with only a few data points would be very thin.   Ideally, the data "density" could also be taken into account: if there are only 2 data points from group X in 2015, but 30 data points in 2016 and 100 in 2017, the group X smoother line thickness would be thin in 2015 and thicker in 2017. (Basically the line thickness would be inversely proportional to the time delta between points - but smoothed so the thickness of the line doesn't become infinite if the time delta between two points gets very close to 0.)   Example problem: This is the kind of "busy plot" I'd like to use this feature with: if the smoother lines with lots of data were very thick/bold and the smoother lines with just a handful of data points were very thin, it would be much easier to see what is a real signal. (There are real signals in this data, I promise.) I hope this is clear enough, please let me know if any clarification is needed. ... View more

It would be nice to make the Columns Viewer (Cols > Columns Viewer) scriptable so that you can save a script to recreate this.  If the columns viewer is a tool that someone wants to incorporate into their analytics workflow, then saving the script to recreate the output is important.   ...

Given my ignorance of how computers actually work, this may be beyond what JMP developers can do and might be one for the Apple people, but one thing that would benefit me greatly would be the ability to use the Mac's Spotlight feature to search text within JMP files. Part of this is my fault for having so many JMP files that I can't keep track of what's in what. Spotlight will find words in the JMP file names but not actually within the files themselves (unlike Word, Excel, and other programs, in which you could conceivably even search by number strings, I'm guessing). Or perhaps this is already doable, just not via Spotlight? ... View more

Under Tables > Stack, the option for "multiple series stack" is  very helpful in some data situations. Would it be possible when "multiple series stack" is selected to have a preview box to show where the columns would go for the two options: (1) every nth column vs (2) n columns in a row (contiguous)? If Number of Series is used, preview panel box would show which columns would go in 2, 3, ... n groups, or highlight the first of the series in the upper column dialog. So if 3 was entered, the 1st, 4th, 7th, etc column selected would be highlighted above to safe space. If Contiguous is checked, would show which columns in how many groups of contiguous columns are being stacked.   From the JMP on Air topic: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-On-Air/The-Tables-Menu/m-p/261014#U261014    ...

In some case, it is needed to manage more than one data set. Could be useful to have the possibility to have in the same graph the different data distributions and for each of them have the posssibility to generate the dedicated fitted line (by the single selection in the continous/discrete fit).   Thanks in advance for your attention.   Best Regards, Simone Cianchini ...

Currently, letter reports, indicating pairwise differences, are not generated for non-parametric pairwise comparisons such as the Steel Dwass test.    It is a pain to calculate those by hand and this has been a problem for users for years for multiple users: Can you generate a letters report after conducting the Steel-Dwass nonparameteric comparison?  ...
