JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Slowly (but surely) getting more and more frustrated with the user experience of scripting index.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see ALL the function groups (is it currently possible to have more than one?) which the current function belongs to and be able to click it. When I click it would then apply filtering based on that.   Let's assume I wish to look for New Window from scripting index I would like to have a link below New Window which would select from the left list "Display". So after pressing that, I would end up with something like this Where it would best fit is up to you, but I would be happy with something like this (I added Function Groups below New Window). Also just auto-selecting Display instead of All Functions when searching could be nice but this should be a preference).   This comes even more helpful if I go to the scripting index from script editor by pressing alt+double click as it cannot do the "group" filtering at all (Make category auto-update when using the shortcut to open Scripting Index from Script Editor ).   Why is this idea important?  Scripting Index is the best documentation for JSL but it can be difficult to utilize.There are many features and tips/tricks which aren't obvious (which is why I wrote this blog postFrom Jarmo's desk: Using the Scripting Index as your JMP® search )     ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In a jmpcust file which is used to specify the menu structure in AddIns, one can use the settings insert_before and inser_after to specify the position of a command relative to an anchor position.   unfortunately, Some Functions change their internal name with the language . Therefore the anchor position can just be found for a specify language setting. If the anchor position is not found, the command will not be added to the menu.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide an alternative way to specify the positon if a command in a menu - e.g. insert_first & insert_last   Why is this idea important?  not important - I tell all my colleagues to switch to the English version. Nevertheless - the new feature - will allow to specify the position withon a menu  - AND will guarantee that the command is added independent of the language setting of the JMP installation.     other wishes from    ...

What inspired this wish list request?  During a webinar this morning by JMP about predictive modeling for collinear and high-dimensionnal data, when using Fit Model platform and trying to save model column formula, it was a bit harder to determine which columns were leading to a formula and which ones were only saved values. In the Fit Model platform, the number of saved columns options can quickly become very large, example : In some platforms, it may not be very clear if the saved columns will contain formula (for example probabilities for SVM in the case of classification).    What is the improvement you would like to see?  In JMP, there is already a visual way to differentiate column values from column formula through the little "+" icon in the data table. By using and extending this icon to other platforms that could enable to save and export formulas, it would better highlight which saved columns contain a formula : Using and extending this icon/design would better facilitate the expectations and lead to quicker actions.   Why is this idea important?  By this simple change, it could provide a more uniform user experience and better homogeneity in design interfaces. ...

What inspired this wish list request? The right-click bootstrap feature is not currently available in reports that use by-group processing. If one wants to run bootstraps on multiple subsets of data, rows in the data table must be manually included/excluded and run as separate distributions.   What is the improvement you would like to see? The right-click bootstrap feature becoming available in reports that use by-group processing would be a major time saver and help reduce manual filtering errors when subsetting the data for each group's bootstrap.     Why is this idea important?  Bootstrapping is a tool my colleagues and I use regularly while writing reports. It would save a lot of rework and, again, truly reduce manual filtering errors when subsetting the data for each group's bootstrap.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  When I create a 2X2X2 factorial design with 2 replicates (16 total runs), and run the reduced model with factor effects A, C, and AC, I expect to get the lack of fit test outcomes because in this case, I have 8 pure error degrees of freedom and remaining 4 degrees of freedom can be used for lack of fit test. But when I really run the model, JMP doesn’t activate the lack of fit report. This is because JMP completely ignores a column B and recognize the model with A, C, and AC as a full model in two factors A and C. But it is truly not a full model in terms of three factors A, B, and C.     What is the improvement you would like to see?    I suggest let JMP keep the information of factors involved in the data (not the model) and use it to provide a LoF report.   Why is this idea important?  For example, suppose a user built an initial model with all possible terms in 3 factors factorial design. By investigating the effect summary window, the user can remove some unnecessary terms one by one. Whenever a term is removed, the user may want to confirm the elimination by checking the LoF report. However, currently, if all the terms involving a specific factor are eliminated, LoF is not provided. This is probably not only restricted to 2-level experimental data; the same thing might happen with any general datasets, I think.       ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Using noncompartmental analysis, (NCA), one can derive the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of a drug by looking at the measured drug concentrations over the course of time. Because of the nature of this approach, the assumption of a particular compartmental model is not necessary. NCA is frequently utilised to determine the degree of exposure that occurs after the administration of a drug, such as the AUC, as well as other pharmacokinetic parameters, such as the clearance and the terminal half-life. NCA curve fits are favoured by the regulators and are an essential part of the bioavailability / bioequivalence (BA/BE) studies. The present Fit Curve > Pharmacokinetic models only support oral and two compartment IV Bolus. Hence, the introduction of a NCA PK curve fit for oral and IV infusion and bolus would be highly beneficial from a regulatory standpoint.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Generic Drug industry is a mainstay for pharmaceutical businesses and is valued at ($ 255 Bn ( 2021 est.). Equivalence trials are typically conducted using a crossover design, but a parallel design can also be used. Bioequivalence trials compare two drugs. The FDA believes that if two drugs have similar absorption properties, they will have similar effects and safety profiles. An equivalence trial evaluates a generic drug's equivalence to an existing drug. This is done by comparing a confidence interval about the difference between two drugs' pharmacokinetic measurements with a U.S. federal confidence limit. Bioequivalence is declared if the confidence interval is within the limit. Test interval hypotheses to assess bioequivalence. Several pharmacokinetic measures determine a drug's bioavailability. AUC is the most common measure (AUC).Maximum concentration (Cmax) is another measure of drug availability and its associated PK measures. Also, a statistical summary of the NCA PK fits helps to understand the drug disposition profile across subjects of the trial.     Why is this idea important?  Pharmaceutical companies and CROs currently use SAS and other nonlinear curve fit tools to do the NCA and having this feature inbuilt into JMP completes the development spectrum of the drug product with JMP. Since a pharmacokinetic curve fit already exits in JMP and extending its capability will entice more customers and would complete the entirety of this capability.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  This post No output result for summation of multiple columns    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Change quick formula Sum to use Sum() function instead of + as Sum() is able handle missing values. Optionally add other Sum() option which would use Sum (or rather add Add() which would be using Add() or + and Sum should utilize Sum()). https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/18.0/#page/jmp/statistical-functions-2.shtml?os=win&source=application#ww2755226   Why is this idea important?  Gives users option have quickly calculated sum column without always running into issues with missing values. ...

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case. We enjoy modeling and seeing effects of factors in JMP.  Most often we use a LS Means Plot to show our clients the categoric factor effects.  These graphs are usually simple enough for non-statistician clients to understand.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see. For some reason, the default JMP x-axis sorting of a categoric factor LS means plot is alphabetically, by factor name.  However, the factor values are often scattered visually on the y-axis, since the factor LS mean is what it is, and somewhat random.  The alphabetical categoric factor name makes no real sense, to the viewer, as they glance at the graph.  Most people need to see high-to-low or low-to-high effects.  Please add a "sort by effect magnitude" button on the LS Means plots with a second input of low-to-high or high-to-low.     Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…).  Clients of JMP analyses, not necessarily the JMP user, will understand the information at a glance.  JMP users will not have to manually recreate the information in a powerpoint or excel graph, saving much time.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Building JMP formulas which require a bit more than just referencing always the same column names     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide as a way to easily access the data table in which the formula column is in. Currently you either have to do scripting and evaluate expressions or use Current Data Table() which Formula Editor doesn't like This would give as an option then to get all the column names for example while using As Constant to have a bit more dynamic formula.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to build more complicated formulas without seeing warnings in formula editor. ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a bug ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Hover labels are the icing on the Graph Builder cake - if (!) a users knows how to adjust the settings to show the information he wants.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please guide the user and make it easier to add new entries to a hover label. e.g.  - a column filter to select the new entry   - a toggle box to switch between "all selected entries" and [local:_firstrow]   - any additional helper boxes which could facilitate the work with Hover Label Editor?   Under the line: make it as easy to add new information to a hover label as it is to remove an entry: - select the entry on the left. - in the "delete" tab, click on "Add"  -> the label will be removed   Why is this idea important?  Hover Labels are very versatile - but just a few users use them beyond the default settings. Making it easier to edit the hover label settings will make this cool feature accessible to everybody.   other wishes from  ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? JMP18 does not provide a tolerance interval for a linear fit, though it does provide Confidence and Prediction Bands (selectable by check-box in Graph Builder). (ref.  https://projecteuclid.org/proceedings/berkeley-symposium-on-mathematical-statistics-and-probability/Proceedings-of-the-Second-Berkeley-Symposium-on-Mathematical-Statistics-and/Chapter/Tolerance-Intervals-for-Linear-Regression/bsmsp/1200500218 )   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add a check box for Tolerance Interval in the "Confidence" section in the Graph Builder platform, along with the means to specify confidence and coverage for that interval.     Why is this idea important? Tolerance intervals are essential in characterizing a model, but calculating these intervals is cumbersome -- and practically impossible to do this dynamically the way the GB platform easily does for the Confidence Prediction Bands.      ...

What inspired this wish list request:  JMP seems to have a measure for k-means to choose an optimal number of clusters.     What is the improvement you would like to see:       I believe hierarchical clustering has some statistical measures such as silhouette to statistical choose an optimal number of clusters.   If this does not currently exist within JMP, perhaps you will consider adding it.       Why is this idea important?   A statistical measure would be more accurate than the current graphical technique     ...

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case. Data is typically presented via PowerPoint presentation. Graphpad Prism is the standard for generating figures because they are both visually appealing and they are editable once embedded in a PowerPoint presentation. As much as I like JMP, I often need to present the results via Graphpad Prism figures to meet the needs of my audience.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see. I would like an option to embed figures into PowerPoint in such a way that they can be edited. If this is not possible, I would like the figure visuals to be reworked in JMP to be more appealing for presentations. I am open to alternatives that would make the data more accessible and visually appealing via PowerPoint.     Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…).These changes would make other more willing to switch from Graphpad Prism to JMP. This would benefit users by giving them the functionally of JMP without having to compromise their presentations or data accessibility.     ... View more

Hello, I am a physician researcher. In biology and clinical measurements, many times it is difficult to analyze data numerically because of patient heterogeneity, no real baseline, etc. What we do have is trends, i.e. "where is this (value) going". Biologically, many times the changes, trends and trajectories are more important than absolute values, or just more reliable. Therefore when I'm following up patients or results from biological samples, it is not uncommon for me to need to see what is the trend over time of a group of patients or samples. Then I want to compare them, cluster them, etc. There are some techniques to do that, very well reviewed and exemplified here: https://doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbad390 Another important aspect of this (local similarity analysis) is the ability to synchronize signals as they evolve over time.   Having these features in JMP would be invaluable!   Uriel. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Documenting your models and data can be difficult but it is becoming more and more important.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Some time ago I came across Model Cards (Google Model Cards, [1810.03993] Model Cards for Model Reporting (arxiv.org)). Something similar could be implemented in JMP and I would also implement it for datatables. Easy platform which can be utilized to define specific things related to your datatable/model (description/details, intended use,...). In best case this could be printed in some format which could then be utilized outside of JMP.   Why is this idea important?  It is important to document your models and data but it can be a hassle. Currently (in my opinion) it is very difficult to do in JMP in any sort of efficient manner which would be easy to access, fill, update and read later. ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ can be used to remove bugs ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  JSL programming is a lot of fun. Via trial and error, it's easily to find the right expression - even if a detail is missing in the documentation. To support the "trial and error" - a version control could help to keep track which version worked, which line was changed, which expression causes the new error.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add version control to JMP - directly inside JMP - with the possibility to run and test different versions of the code - with the ability to compare different versions - as an addition to an external "long time" version control -> OK if it just tracks the versions since the last start of JMP (in memory)     Why is this idea important?  JSL programming will get much easier.     other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Dealing with "one-sided" specification limits which have second limit just for sanity check purposes and not being able to set it as natural/boundary limit in JMP.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Let set Spec Limit lower/upper limits as natural/boundary limits.   It is possible to have limits which cannot be exceeded (for example due to physical reasons) but they are still set (for example for sanity check reasons). In JMP if we are using Spec Limit column properties, this would mean that we have to delete such limits as JMP cannot set then as natural limit (they should be ignored in capability calculations and values beyond those handled as missing values).    One suggestion how it could look like   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to perform capability analysis as you wouldn't have to always remove the specification limit from column properties. ...
