collection of wishes with focus on "Semiconductor"

[#1]

New features or bug fixes that help one user in one area might also help other users in the same area.

So I thought about creating a list of feature requests with a focus on Semiconductor.

Let's join forces to get them implemented as soon as possible : )

the idea:

• a link - and maybe a short motivation here
• to keep the list "slim", if you have any comments, please follow the link and comment in the original post

[#2]

frustrated by I-V curves which look like this one?

vote here: Graph Builder: Line - possibility to add breaks 

[#3]

Dif() and Lag() formula functions by column group (byVar argument)   

☞ JMP19

[#4]

JMP19 is out - and several of the wishes are available now as new functions:

• Add CDFs to Graph Builder
  [was there before & with the scoping framework it got much more versatile]
  
  
• Column Property: Inclusive/forced Values
  
  
• Have data filter selections not clear when you need to enter a new filtering item
   
  
• Add dense ranking to Ranking Tie and Col Rank functions
  
  
• Col N Categories 
  
  
• Dif() and Lag() formula functions by column group (byVar argument) 

[#5]

Can you explain more about what changed with the GB CDF situation?

[#6]

You are right, the original request is still open: a missing step at the lower left.
So, no possibility to close the wish.

On the other hand:

Concerning CDF/ Cumulative Probability in Graph Builder, most parts were available or were improved in JMP19.

- CDF was always there - for lines : just drag the variable onto the Y axis and activate Cumulative Percent.

- already there, but even more secret: use 1s on the Y axis to enable JMP to plot CDF plots  with points and smoother.

new:
- Pspline fit  + maximum value constraint = 1  for smoother:

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
Graph Builder(
	Transform Column( "ones", Formula( 1 ) ),
	Variables( X( :height ), Y( :ones ) ),
	Elements(
		Points( X, Y, Legend( 5 ), Summary Statistic( "Cumulative Percent" ) ),
		Smoother(
			X,
			Y,
			Legend( 6 ),
			Summary Statistic( "Cumulative Percent" ),
			Method( "P-Spline" ),
			Maximum Constraint( 1 )
		),
		Line(
			X,
			Y,
			Legend( 7 ),
			Connection( "Step" ),
			Summary Statistic( "Cumulative Percent" )
		)
	)
);

even better: Scoping
This allows the user to generate grouped Cumulative Probability plots with a few mouse clicks.
Ones which are immune against mistakes of the users -  which show the right plot even with added Data Filter,  Overlay  and  Trellis plot design. No need to adjust the formula of the transfrom column.

Graph Builder(
	Transform Column(
		"age bins",
	
		Formula( If( :age <= 13, "<=13", ">13") )
	),
	Transform Column(
		"cumulative Prob",
		Formula(
			Col Rank( :height, :"@Exclude"n, :"@Filter"n, :"@Graph"n, :"@Overlay"n )
			 / (Col Number(
				:height,
				:"@Exclude"n,
				:"@Filter"n,
				:"@Graph"n,
				:"@Overlay"n
			) + 1)
		)
	),
	Variables(
		X( :height ),
		Y( :CumProb ),
		Wrap( :age bins ),
		Overlay( :sex )
	),
	Elements( Points( X, Y ), Line Of Fit( X, Y ) )
);

I am very happy with the new possibilities.
