I’ve been asked three times this year about how to make a graph in JMP with an axis break. Before I show how, I want to ask “Why?” The obvious answer to “Why?” is “to show items with very different values in one graph,” but that’s a little unsatisfying. I
Someone recently asked me about using letters instead of built-in symbols in JMP scatterplots. In case others are wondering the same thing, here's the long answer. In addition to the 32 built-in symbols, you can use any character as a marker for a scatterplot. The easiest way to set a
The name “dot plot” can refer to a variety of completely different graph styles. Well, they have one thing in common: They all contain dots. For analytic use, the two most prominent styles are what we might call the Wilkinson dot plot and the Cleveland dot plot. The Wilkinson dot
Whether it is 10:00 a.m. on Monday morning or 5:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon, that weekly meeting just seems to come pretty quickly doesn't it? I don't know if it is true for you, but when I begin reporting on something weekly or at any short frequency, I start thinking
Drag-and-drop is one of the slick new behaviors to come out of application design in the last few years. Dragging is the process of selecting an object and carrying it between applications. Dropping is the process of laying the object down in the new application. If you think about what you are
Today, I'm going to tour you through finding unique values in the columns of your data set. You might be thinking that since JMP handles such massive data, then this is going to be a real journey. "Oh, no! I'm going to need emotional preparation, extreme physical conditioning, and perhaps a dedicated moment
These days, we are always hearing about time: We are having the time of our lives! Phew, just in the nick of time! We are so ahead of our time! Even in JMP, time is of essence. Sometimes, when importing data into JMP, your time or date data might come
Let's face it, big data means lots of points. On the rare occasion when JMP data analysis software creates a graph that displays large areas of dense data, consider using the transparency setting to decrease the saturation of the individual points. In my latest "Have You Tried" video (1:22), you
There are many ways of generating a model such as basic linear regression, decision trees, neural nets, and generalized linear models. JMP Pro can be a great tool for data miners, those who want to get more information out of their data and build more accurate predictive models. It incorporates
One of the great things about attending the JMP Discovery Summit as a developer is hearing questions and suggestions from people with so many different applications of JMP. One JMP Scripting Language (JSL) question came up three times, so it's worth sharing. The question is, "How do I remove duplicate
