JMP Wish List

Hey @mia_stephens , these go along with my EWMA and CUSUM posts   What inspired this wish list request? I'm using the multivariate platform more but understanding what is driving out of control points is not an easy task and there are different features in the MDMVCC vs the norma Multivariate control chart platforms that would be nice to have live in the MDVCC.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Be able to save out T^2 values and T^2 formula Have options to highlight out of control rows Have an option to add an out of control row indicator column Add a parallel plot option with mean curve (like Multivariate) Add ability to show the average of the selected groups or selected out of control points Show the mean value (red in this example) Be able to add groupings that will show up on parallel plot from the score plot (currently can do group A and B, add in up to n items) Be able to have stages like control chart builder Have red bars on mean contribution charts that at least one of the selected samples was out of control on the univariate chart. (vs current meaning that the average is out of control) Add in the change point detection option we have in Multivariate control charts     Why is this idea important? These options will allow determining what is driving out of control situation to be an easier task as well as allow staying in one platform vs having to jump between MDMVCC and MVCC platforms.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When creating or importing custom model-based designs, the Compare Designs platform helps comparing and selecting a design based on a model and depending on various metrics and criteria : Power analysis, prediction variance profile and FDS plot, relative estimation efficiencies, aliases matrix and correlations, and optimality efficiencies and average variance of prediction. When creating or importing Space-Filling designs, it may be difficult for practitioners to compare the benefits and tradeoffs between different design types (Fast Flexible, Uniform, Latin Hypercube, ...). MaxPro and discrepancy values are displayed only on each specific design diagnostic panel, so unless scripting a solution (which might be technically complex) to extract these values from several generated designs, there is no workaround to get access to this information and compare several designs. Idea inspired by the topic Get MaxPro value for any Space-Filling design.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  When importing or creating Space-Filling designs, I would like to have a "Compare Designs"-like platform, that enables to link factors from each design to compare them. The comparative evaluation of Space-Filling designs could involve the display of various metrics like MaxPro values, discrepancy and/or Min/Max/Average/Range/StdDev distance between points, which may help compare Space-Filling designs type based on the homogeneity of the points dispersion and the volume/distance covered by points in the design.    Why is this idea important?  Currently, comparing Space-Filling designs is difficult and complex, as there is no built-in platforms for this in JMP. This requires a lot of manual work, from extracting the distance between points (using Hierarchical Clustering and saving the Distance Matrix), to the analysis of the distances. A comparison example is available in JMP Help : Example Comparison of Sphere-Packing, Latin Hypercube, and Uniform Methods (jmp.com), but I would find more useful if the user could generate the comparison easily with any design (created or imported), without the need for scripting or long time (to calculate distance between points and then process the information).    ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When creating Custom designs, the Design Explorer platform helps comparing and selecting designs based on various optimality efficiencies and average variance of prediction, depending on different construction choices : runs number, replicates, centre points...

What inspired this wish list request? I have been using the EWMA platform more recently and believe these improvements will make the user experience more efficient and less frustrating.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add stages option like control chart builder Allow local data filter and column switcher to work Shift lines Have different colors for up shift and down shifts lines Have ability to have the shifts work like CUSUM vs just when the trend line cross the mean/target line Have platform ignore excluded rows as a red arrow drop down menu item Make it so the chart size doesn’t reset when you change a setting Have an option to show UCL and LCL values on the EWMA chart (use constant limit numbers) Have an option to show UCL and LCL values on I-MR/X bar chart Add ability to have a “head start” EWMA(-1) value This will allow if you have rolling data for the trend line to not keep restarting at the target value and thus changing the nature of the control chart Add in being able to save limits in a tall table format Add in an ARL profiler that’s would have ARL(0) and ARL (Delta) be optimized for values of Lambda and K sigma Add K Sigma to the parameter platform vs being buried in the red drop down menu items     Why is this idea important? This will remove inefficiencies in the platform and allow more capabilities for the end user.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? I have been using the CUSUM platform more and have found that there are some gaps between it and other Control Chart platforms that can make the user experience frustrating.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Have ARL show Shewhart ARL like the EWMA platform Have options to highlight out of control rows in the red drop down menu Have an option to add an out of control row indicator column in the red drop down menu Add stages option like control chart builder Add in I-MR/X Bar charts like in EWMA platform Add option to show k*sigma (from CUSUM) band on this chart.  This will help show when points are adding or subtracting from the CUSUM totals Be able to use Local data filter and column switcher Be able to have CUSUM reset after a certain number of runs are within the K*sigma band This would allow the CUSUM control charts to quickly recover back to showing in control  like we get with a EWMA chart Another option could be having the CUSUM reset after a "flag value" kinda like the EWMA will reset after a missing value or excluded row.  So for example, 999.9 could be the reset value for positive sums and -999.9 could be the reset value for negative values.  These could be set as a column property or as a entry from the red drop down menu. Have platform ignore excluded rows as a menu option red drop down menu (in case you forgot to click it in the set up menu) On ARL profiler, need to show what the ARL(Delta) is Would be great to be able to have the ARL (0) show as well, maybe as a second Y axis in the profiler, like when you fit multiple Y’s in Fit Model. Also would be great to be able to use the desirability function to find the best setting for a given ARL(0) and ARL (delta) for a set k value. Need to change the behavior of the ARL Profiler so that only the parameter of h or k is change when one of the values are updated in the Parameter control box. Right now if you change one it will change both, which is annoying if you are trying to update the parameter table to match the ARL profiler so that you can see all the ARL performance on the ARL table. Update the ARL profiler so that the values you can enter always return an ARL value   Why is this idea important?  The CUSUM control chart is getting more use but could use some additional updates to make it as functional as the Control Chart builder platform.  Also, since the correct ARL value is critical for setting up the charts correctly more tools that get away from a guess and check workflow would be great. ...

What inspired this wish list request?   Models in the Predictive Modeling platform do not have a default capability to produce confidence intervals or prediction intervals around model predictions; however, JPM has provided a way to generate confidence intervals around the predictions in the profiler using bagging (https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/18.0/#page/jmp/example-of-confidence-intervals-using-bagging.shtml#). Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way to produce prediction intervals in the profiler for predictive models using JMP (I am a JMP 17 user so I am unsure if this capability has been added, but based on the JMP 18 help entry I don't believe this capability has been added). I suspect it is feasible to produce these prediction intervals based on my understanding of how the confidence intervals are calculated.     What is the improvement you would like to see?    With JMP 18's renewed its focus on prediction intervals in the profiler (https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMPer-Cable/Prediction-Profiler-enhancements-in-JMP-18/ba-p/718342), my hope is that prediction intervals for predictive models will be added. It would also be helpful to generate column formulas for confidence intervals and prediction intervals for predictive models.   Why is this idea important?   Prediction intervals are useful to judge whether the data generated by the proposed model looks like the actual data, often called a "posterior predictive check" in the Bayesian literature. If the data generated by the model does not resemble the actual data, then it may be desirable to consider a different model. Please see a description of this concept, along with a simple example, from John Kruschke's book "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis" below:   "The fifth step is to check that the model, with its most credible parameter values, actually mimics the data reasonably well. This is called a posterior predictive check... One approach is to plot a summary of predicted data from the model against the actual data... The predicted weight values are summarized by vertical bars that show the range of the 95% most credible predicted weight values. The dot at the middle of each bar shows the mean of the predicted weight values. By visual inspection of the graph, we can see that the actual data appear to be well described by the predicted data. The actual data do not appear to deviate systematically from the trend or band predicted from the model. If the actual data did appear to deviate systematically from the predicted form, then we could contemplate alternative descriptive models. For example, the actual data might appear to have a nonlinear trend. In that case, we could expand the model to include nonlinear trends... We could also examine the distributional properties of the data. For example, if the data appear to have outliers relative to what is predicted by a normal distribution, we could change the model to use a heavy-tailed distribution..."         ... View more

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.  There is an option in JSL to delete table scripts (plural) but not for deleting table variables. Please make this function plural as well, and accept either a single variable or an array.   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.  Add function in JSL for "dt << Delete Table Variables()"   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,…).

☑ 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?  When a user renames a column, Table Scripts get automatically updated. When a user deletes a column which is used in a table script, JMP warns the user if the column is used in column formulas. But a table script will die without notice.   a) it takes a long time for the user to find out why the table script is dead. b) it takes some effort to create the column again (worst case: not possible to create the column again)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Before deleting a column, please check if the column is used in a table script - and show a warning.   Names Default To Here( 1 ); Current Data Table() << copy table script( "no data" ); tableScript = Eval( Eval Expr( Parse( Expr( Get Clipboard() ) ) ) ); col_names = Current Data Table() << Get Selected Columns(); tableScriptList = Substitute( Name Expr( tableScript ), Expr( New Table() ), Expr( List() ) ); tableScriptList = Filter Each( {part}, tableScriptList, Head( Part ) == Expr( New Script() ) ); found = 0; For Each( {col}, col_names, For Each( {myScript}, tableScriptList, If( Not( Is Empty( Eval( Eval Expr( Extract Expr( myScript, Expr( Name Expr( col ) ) ) ) ) ) ), Caption( {100, 200}, "column \!"" || (col << get name()) || "\!" found in script: \!n" || Arg( myScript, 1 ) ); found = 1; print("found!!!"); Wait( 1 ); ) ) ); If( Not( found ), Caption( {100, 200}, "no column found.\!N ->cols can be deleted" ); Wait( 1 ); ); Caption( remove )   Why is this idea important?  Just imagine how many JMP users killed a table script by "accidentally" deleting a column. switching to "safe mode" will safe many users from the same issue.     other wishes from      ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Creating anonymized datasets and still having non-anonymized data.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  When user anonymizes data table this error message should give option to remove the scripts and variables, not just inform user about them (or I'm not really sure why they are even left there, the dataset is anonymized, they won't work anyway).   Why is this idea important?  Makes it less likely to share non-wanted data "hidden" in table scripts/variables. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Always writing more or less complicated scripts to "clean" my data tables (remove table scripts, table variables, column properties, ...)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide easy platform to cleanup data table. This should give option to remove table scripts, table variables, column properties, row states and all different modifications. In best case user could decide which to remove. Some of these could be implemented to Subset but I feel like this should also be separate platform.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to create new data tables from existing ones without they carrying over non-relevant information. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Hoping to see more interactive way of building JMP "Flows".     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I feel a bit conflicted about this suggestion as this goes maybe a bit against what JMP does (get data, modify data, analyze data in a platform, do more analysis and keep going...) and where JMP has been going (Enhanced Log, Workflow Builder). But I still feel like this is something JMP users could benefit. We could maybe even see it as an evolution of Workflow builder or addition to that as Workflow designer.     I would think that something like this has already been suggested (and I might have discussed about this with developers and it might have been considered at some point, cannot remember anymore)... but add platform to JMP which would allow us to build analytical flow by drag and dropping JMP platforms to a canvas. I think JMP already has most of the features needed for this OUTSIDE of the canvas, we have icons for platforms, great platform launchers and the platform results are stored into scripts. We also have workflows but they are built while we work on JMP, in this platform you would be working in (or maybe workflow could build this type of graphical view). Workflows are also step after step after step BUT you could still visualize them going parallel even though they are not.   Below is small example by what I mean, I have a workflow in which I open data table, create few summary tables, one graph from each of these and then combine them into dashboard. Here I have basically have two separate  routes from the first table, both routes create summary + graph builder and combine back to dashboard with their graph builders.     Would be great if we could drop "Open" action to canvas which would then Open same file picker as Open() does, next drop Summary to canvas. When you drag a line from Open to that Summary it will launch Summary platform which you can then fill, in the end visually we could have something like this or If user double clicks (or right clicks and select edit) they would be able to modify the platforms (re-launch platform). This of course could potentially break the steps after that but it could be most likely verified on some level.   User could also have scripting block, which would then have inputs and outputs. Inputs would be generated based on the values you bring in from other blocks (not sure how constants should be handled, maybe have "constant" block).   Why is this idea important?  Many (low-code and no code) applications do provide this type of drag and drop option (or it might be the only option you have with them). With JMP I feel like there is already most of the needed capabilities to have this type of visual workflows (platforms already rely on tables, they can generate script for running them (at least most can)). ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have been using journals more as documentation for my study analysis. This requires quite a bit of text, often much more than I see many example journals utilizing. Unfortunately, the current journal editing is quite clunky for large bodies of text.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Improvements for the journal text editing. Some I personally would think are helpful are:  Bolding, italicizing, underline, and sub/super scripts  The ability to have multiple bullet points within one text box, instead of each bullet point requiring individual positioning.  A text box format for list functions ( 1. 2. 3. etc)  Including formatting for sub-bullet points Including formatting options for multiple kinds of bullet points (numbers, roman numerals, squares, hollow, ect.)  Adding a text item below a outline heading just adds the box into the journal rather than the pop up screen which makes adding long text or multiple bullet points frustrating  Ability to have paragraph indents and indented bullet points within text boxes     Why is this idea important?  The ability to save documentation, notes, instructions, and more within the software is a great feature that improves workflow and reproducibility.  The Journals also have great ways to incorporate JMP scripts, files, and images very easily, which makes them preferable to keeping documentation in an outside word processor. The text editing within the journal is not as well developed and is especially limiting for longer-form text. This limits my ability, and likely other users, to fully utilize the journal platform.      ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I'm trying to use the JMP journals as documentation as I go through study analysis, as well as to make notes to myself of questions or next steps. These step-by-step records use lots of text, and I've noticed I'm often missing typos and spelling errors.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Would it be possible to have an add-on that provides word processing like spell checks, perhaps by linking to an open-source spell checker like LanguageTools or even something similar to Grammarly's browser extension?     Why is this idea important?  This would increase the ease of use for the journal feature, as well as make the platform more intuitive.      ...
