JMP Wish List

Currently in Graph Builder, when using box plot and points graphs combined in the same graph, the box plots properly segregate into "series" when a category is added to 'overlay' but the points do not overlap their coresponding box plot and are instead jumbled. It is as if the box plots have an hidden overlap variable set to 0% (terminology from excel bar graphs) but the points have a hidden overlap variable set to 100%. There are a few ways to fix it, but are either not exact, or take a lot of work to properly format the image, changing box plot colors for proper grouping, and requiring an extra legend to be added. Here is a post with pics refrencing the effects.

In the Specialized Modeling menu, I frequently find the need to compare curve fitting models. It might be nice to have an easy way to compare all curve fitting models within a particular submenu (e.g., polynomials, sigmoid, multiple parameter logistic, exponential growth and decay). I was wondering if a menu item could be added to compare the curve-fitting of appropriately grouped curve fitting models (analogous to the functionality in the Distribution menu for comparing the various possibilities in the Continuous Fit menu by selecting "All").

It would be nice if Tolerance Intervals calculated in the Distribution Platform came with a visualization (e.g.) on top of the Histogram. The graph below gives an example. There, I added the Graph Builder visualization of a Tolerance Interval below the Distribution Histogram. I left out Spec-Limits there, but if so specified in the column properties, they should be shown there, as well. Similar to other features in Distribution I image it would be possible to show or hide this visualization via the red triangle menu. There are further ideas presented in the Wish List in connection with Tolerance Intervals, e.g. https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Setting-Confidence-and-Proportion-to-Cover-for-Tolerance/idi-p/51188 https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/3-Sigma-Intervals-and-Tolerance-Intervals-in-Graph-Builder/idi-p/51192 https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Statistical-rationales-for-sample-sizes/idi-p/52052

Hi JMP users, I used to run some non-parametric comparisons for each pair using the Wilcoxon method in a repeated-measures designs through Analysis -> Fit Y by X report. I would like to know if it is possible to develop an effect-size calculator (add-in) for that purpose, please. Thank you.

Reinaldo · ‎05-03-2018

Hi JMP users, I would like to know if it is possible to develop an add-in to calculate the effect-size for repeated-measures design with random effect. I used to run the LSMeans Tukey HSD algorithm in Fit Model report. Thank you.

Hi, I'm looking at the Profiler red triangle, under Optimization and Desirability -> Set Desirabilities. Several of our newer users get confused when they have multiple y variables because JMP pops up a separate modal box to set desirability for each response one at a time. The astute ones notice that each box is for a different response, but others don't notice the subtle change. Any way we could replace this interface with a single window? Use a List Box or a Combo Box or a Tab Box to arrange the different responses. Then the user can go to "Set Desirabilities", see all the responses in one window, and potentially set all of them from the same window. Or, with flexibility to choose which responses need to be set, having a "select the response to change" property allows the user to skip over two or three responses that don't need to be changed in the first place. Icing on the cake: allow some sort of "Standardize Desirabilities" option from the Profiler as well. Sure, you can standardize attributes from the data table and set the Response Limits property, but when you're in the middle of a Profiler that isn't intuitive.

With the "New Formula Column", a Log can be easy made. it would be a nice feature to transform spec and control limits, axis settings ect.too.

maurogerber · ‎03-22-2018

Ability to use table or local variables from formula editor to control some values in axis, platforms, …

In case there are named ranges in Excel sheets it would be good if those could be accessed when importing data into JMP. I have workbooks containing data in named ranges and want to automate data import. The only way i have so far is to script some "search algorithm" to find the boundaries of the named range or using additional software tools like R or Excel-VBA.

I would like to be able to import selected images from a folder into a new or existing Data Table with the option to either match names of images with names in an existing column or to have the names of the images written in a separate column (see attached illustration). It should be possible to specify a name for the Expression column ("Process Result Pic" in the illustration) and a name for the ID column (if used, "Serial Number" in the illustration), or if names of images should be matched with entries in an existing column, then the name of the existing column must be specified. It would be very handy if file sizes could be reduced (on import) down to a max of x Mbyte, and to a maximum width or height (as in the Column Property "Expression Role"). I'm aware that there is a community entry by M_Anderson with supplied jsl code that goes in a very similar direction, but with the expectation that a column with pic names already exists. I couldn't get this to work (probably I misinterpreted sth there). It would be nice to have an official tool for this with more options. https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Scripts/Adding-Images-to-A-Data-Table-From-a-Directory/ta-p/40341

Autosaving data tables should have an option to rename and retain the existing file as "table.jmp.bak" before saving the new version as "table.jmp". The reason is to prevent autosave unintentionally overwriting a "good" copy of a table with a (mis-)edited version. An even better option is be able to designate a backup folder where N previous versions of the file can be optionally retained.

See the attached journal. This is a simple example of a variability/gauge plot. from one of the sample datasets. I do a lot of beginning JMP user training, and I always show them the variability chart because it is so useful for visulaizing the effects of different X factors on a Y response all on one plot. I would like to be able to do more statistical analysis off this platform. I am looking for the same analysis that is on the fit Y by X platform. For instance in this case an Anova/Tukey means comparison by Gender. And/or a T test comparing gender by each drug.

For factorial combinations (in Fit Model), LSMeans tables (also "Connecting Letter Report" tables) should present level names as separate strings in separate columns. That will allow to alternate group order by sorting these tables by level of one factor ("Level i") or by the second factor ("Level j"), regardless the factors' order in the data table.

Since version 12, "Preferences" allows to set the default Summary Statistics in the output of "Distribution". This option should be effective to all platforms.

In the current version of "Create Excel Workbook", JMP requires the data to be exported to only be a data table . It would be nice and useful to expand this to Matrices and Lists as well

Other places where you are picking a column have a little red triangle (lrt) that allows me to select things that "contains" or such. When I put ~100 (ish) columns in, and want to reduce them in the effect summary, it would be so much nicer if I could limit the shown columns to those containing or not containing some piece of text in the name.

What inspired this wish list request? Working with large tables and wondering if it would be worth it to move some columns to separate table making the table creation much more complex process. What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have estimation of how much space each of my columns in my table take (compressed/non-compressed). This could be part of Columns Manager if it cannot be implemented to columns panel. This could also be potentially expanded to contain all different "size taking" parts of the table: column properties, table scripts and so on in some sort of "Table Manager" platform which we do not currently have. And, of course as a scripter, I would like to have << Get Size (or something similar) message I can send to data table column to get sizes in JSL. Why is this idea important? Makes it easier to understand which columns are taking how much space in your data table.

What inspired this wish list request? JMP expects an actual table to be returned in a SQL query. So, if the SQL query contains create temp table, we must add "SET NOCOUNT ON" so the Transact-SQL statement does not try to return the rows impacted by the query. If there is not this line in the beginning of the SQL query, JMP just can't return any result and there is not any meaningful feedback in GUI or Log window. What is the improvement you would like to see? Add meaningful feedback in GUI or Log window. Why is this idea important? We need to have a proper response for any implementation, right?

What inspired this wish list request?1 The JSL Function Tolerance Limit( ) is a useful calculation function, quite often used to help with variability assessment and determining appropriate process specifications. Unfortunately, the name of the function does not accurately describe what it does. The Tolerance Limit function actually calculates the tolerance factor (i.e. the value k is the tolerance limit factor, and used to calculate a two-sided tolerance interval= mean + k * (standard deviation). The Scripting Index and JSL Syntax guide also incorrectly described this function as calculating a tolerance interval. What is the improvement you would like to see? Change the description of the Tolerance Limit function in the scripting guide to "calculates the 1-alpha confidence, p x 100% coverage tolerance factor with sample size n" Create a new JSL function that is identical to the current Tolerance Limit function named "Tolerance Factor()", which is a more accurate description of the function. Create longer term plan to then deprecate the Tolerance Limit function. Why is this idea important? Whenever I use the Tolerance Factor() function, I have to provide the description above of what it actually does and explain the inaccurate naming of the function in any documentation of the analysis. It is confusingly named, and should be updated.
