WhatÕs New in JMP Version 3.2 1

Welcome to JMP

JMP¨ is statistical discovery software that can help you explore data, fit models, discover patterns, and discover points that donÕt fit patterns. As statistical discovery software, the emphasis in JMP is to interactively work on data to find out things.

¥Using graphics, you are more likely to make discoveries.You are also more likely to understand the results.

¥With interactivity, you are encouraged to dig deeper, for one analysis can lead to a refinement, one discovery can lead to another discovery; and you can experiment with statistics to improve your chances of discovering something important.

¥With a progressive structure, you build context that maintains a live analysis, so you donÕt have to redo analyses, so that details come to attention at the right time.

The job of software is to create a virtual workplace. The software has facilities and platforms where the tools are located and the work is performed. JMP provides the workplace that we think best for the job of analyzing data. With the right software workplace, researchers will celebrate computers and statistics, rather than avoid them.

JMP aims to present a graph beside every statistic. You can and should always see the analysis in both ways, statistical text and graphics, without having to ask for it. The text and graphs stay together.

JMP is controlled largely through point and click, mouse manipulation. If you click on a point in a plot, JMP identifies and highlights the point in the plot, also highlights the point in the data table, and highlights it everywhere else the point is represented.

JMP has a progressive organization. You begin with a simple surface at the top, but as you analyze you see more and more depth. The analysis is alive, and as you dig deeper into the data, more and more options are offered according to the context of the analysis.

In JMP, completeness is not measured by the ÒfeatureÓ count, but by the range of applications, and the orthogonality of the tools. In JMP, you get more feeling of being in control in spite of less awareness of the control surface. In JMP you get a feeling that statistics is an orderly discipline that makes sense, rather than an unorganized collection of methods.

The statistical software package is often the point of entry into the practice of statistics. JMP endeavors to offer fulfillment rather than frustration, and empowerment rather than intimidation.

Overview of Enhancements in JMP Version 3.2

This overview lists changes and enhancements between JMP version 3.1 and version 3.2. Following sections describe most of these features in more detail and give examples.

General

¥This version of JMP for Windows contains an experimental real-time data capture feature. This feature is only available when JMP is running under Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 or higher. If you have an instrument connected to one of the COM ports of your computer and create a new column in your spreadsheet with its data source set to "Instrument", then JMP will attempt to read the data which is sent by your instrument to the COM port and enter it into the new column. In order for this feature to work properly, when you set the data source of the new column to "Instrument", you must correctly configure the COM port information in accordance with the properties of your particular instrument. This feature is experimental and is not guaranteed to work withall instruments.

¥The Import Command can read FACS files. The FACS file import reads files from flow cytometery software packages that write their data files in the standard FCS format proposed by the International Society for Analytical Cytology. FCS versions 1,2, and 3 are supported. This includes most commercial Flow Cytometry systems from Becton Dickenson, Coulter Electronics, Ortho, Cytomation and others.

¥ The Open Command can read SAS data sets directly. SAS data sets are converted to JMP tables complete with column notes, table info, and conversion of SAS date/time values to JMP date/time values.

¥You can now drag text files onto the JMP application and JMP automatically attempts to Import them as text.

¥There is a new preference for gray backgrounds in analysis windows.

Analysis Windows

¥ When you COMMAND-click on a selected point in a plot, the point is deselected.

¥p-values show as Ò<.0001Ó when they underflow the format.

¥Lines in graphs are precisely clipped, so that they will not extend outside the frame when transferred to draw programs.

¥More graphs support the log axis scale, including logistic and nonlinear.

Data Tables - The Tables menu

¥The data table window shows the number of selected rows and columns at the bottom left corner of the table.

¥You can store data in short-integer format. This is a specialty feature that is used only when you need to conserve on storage space. To use this feature, you must first turn on the Enable short numeric choices option in preferences. Then you can select short integer formats in the Column Info dialog. If you use these storage formats, then JMP will only be able to store values as integers in the range corresponding to the length of the field. For example, the range for length 1 is Ð126 to 127.

¥The Open dialog has a Show All Files check box that enables you to read JMP files that donÕt have the correct signature. This is needed when you need to open a data table from the Windows version of JMP.

¥For the Macintosh version of JMP, the Import command can read a variety of file formats, including EXCEL, using XTND text translators. A translator to read EXCEL files is included with JMP.

¥You can exclude columns from dialogs by excluding rows in the corresponding attributes table.

¥The Summary Platform (Group/Summarycommand) has median, range and % total summary statistics.

¥The dialog for Concatenate has a check box that lets you save the formulae and have them automatically evaluated in the output table. Note that the formulae are saved using the "first-seen" rule. The default setting of the check box is no evaluate..

¥The Joincommand is accessible by AppleScript (Macintosh only).

Design of Experiments

¥There is a Cancel Button in DOE Factor names and limits dialog.

¥If a model is generated by an experiment dialog, the Fit Model dialog automatically shows the screening personality.

¥D-Optimal DesignÕs report has been reorganized so that it is more obvious that the efficiencies were from the Best Design, not the current one.

Calculator

¥When you COMMAND-click (ALT-click) on a nominal or ordinal variable in the calculator variable list, a popup menu appears listing all the variableÕs values.

¥The calculator has the new Random number functions: exponential, triangular(midpoint), Cauchy, gamma(alpha), poisson(lambda), binomial(n, p), geometric(p), negative binomial(n, p), and random number seed = conditional assignment.

¥There are Probabilitiy Functions to compute values for the Normal Density, and to compute quantiles probabilities, and densities values for the standard Beta and Gamma distributions.

¥When differentiating the calculator automatically creates temporary variables as needed to make differentiation process more efficient.

Analyze Menu - Distribution of Y: Continuous Variables

¥A popup command More Moments extends the Moments table by adding Sum, Variance, Skewness, Kurtosis, and CV. CV is coefficient of variation, which is the standard deviation divided by mean and multiplied by 100.

¥A command Stem and Leaf in the popup menu at the top of the report does the stem-and-leaf plot invented by Tukey. The plot actively responds to clicking and brushing.

¥The Normal Quantile plot has the LilliforÕs confidence bounds, reference lines, and a probability scale at the top.

¥The Test mean=value command has a z-test feature, and signed-rank check option.

¥The Capability Analysis allows you to enter your value for sigma, the process standard deviation.

¥The outlier box plot has the means diamond display. Previously, there was no mean shown in the default Distribution graphs.

¥The outlier box plot jitters points so that when they have the same value, you can see more than one point.

Analyze Menu - Distribution of Y: Nominal or Ordinal Variables

¥A Test Probabilities command tests that the probabilities are as specified.

¥A popup menu in the Frequencies table lets you select the statistical information you want to include or exclude in the frequency table, including the new column for the standard error of the probability estimate.
