  • Clustering methods for unsupervised machine learning

    Machine learning (ML) is a hot topic right now. And supervised ML gets a lot of the attention. They have flashy neural networks, the Naive Bayes classifier, and lots of other sweet methods (some of which have been covered in our JMP Blog here). But supervised ML requires labels, or truth data. We can’t ask a computer to learn what a cat is if we cannot tell it when it is correct, or incorrect. Unf...

  • Learning from my mistakes -- Part 4: Are your measurements to be believed?

  • Wash, rinse, repeat: Iteration in JMP Scripting Language

    Repetition of a function or a set of steps in the context of scripting is called iteration or looping. The JMP Scripting Language, JSL, offers several functions that iterate, including the most frequently used functions: For( ) and While( ). This article introduces features that are common to iteration functions, describes their use, and provides examples and suggestions to avoid infinite loops.  ...

  • A friendlier dot plot?

    Dot plots are a very useful chart type, but many people have trouble understanding them when they see one for the first time, which probably explains why they’re not widely used. Nick Desbarats and I explore changes to the traditional dot plot design that might make them easier for first-time viewers to understand and, hopefully, make the use of this valuable chart type more widespread.

  • Learning from my mistakes -- Part 2: What does the t-test really tell us?

    t-tests are easy to run, but results can be confusing! You've probably used t-tests before to compare data from samples. Maybe you've had formal education on t-tests, or maybe someone just gave you some general instructions and a template. You happily plug in the numbers and get a result.  What could be easier than that? As with any tool, t-tests can be misused, resulting in high cost through impr...

  • Learning from my mistakes in experiments and data analysis -- Part 1: The scenario

      So you are new to statistics and data analytics. The boss asks you to determine if a new process will help your product.

  • Is it uniform?

      If you have taken a basic course in probability and statistics you were probably introduced to the Uniform distribution. Don’t blame yourself if it isn’t foremost in your memory; the Uniform distribution doesn’t have much appeal because it describes a phenomenon with constant probability. Next time you are wondering if your data can be described by a Uniform distribution, think ‘beta’ and use th...

The most important are: Save Script, Show Tree Structure and the JMP Scripting Index.   This article will descr...
