I grew up in Canada, where ketchup potato chips were a staple at most children's birthday parties. As a huge fan of these ketchup chips, I was unsure whether my enjoyment of the wonderful flavor was simply nostalgia and whether other people unfamiliar with the flavor would show any love

I’ve written before about how we use covering arrays created by JMP to test JMP itself. A recent example that came from my colleagues Wenjun Bao and Joseph Morgan was so intriguing that I wanted to share it with others. To test a particular platform in JMP Genomics, there are
This year, I was fortunate enough to present at the JMP Discovery Summit Europe in Brussels, Belgium. When looking for something to bring back for my colleagues in Cary, I first thought of chocolate (actually, my first thought was probably beer, but that didn’t seem like a good idea). One
The best time to plan an experiment is after you’ve done it – R.A. Fisher If you’ve read through my previous blog posts, I usually mention issues discovered during an experiment that I would change if I were to do the experiment again, or things to consider in the subsequent
Last time, I gave a Father’s Day tale of a father and son’s quest in dyeing toy cars. This time, I’ll share our results, but first remind you of the factors we studied: Car: A/B/C/D Dye type: Solid/liquid Dye amount: low/high (2 Tbsp liquid/4 Tbsp liquid per half cup, or
With Father’s Day fast approaching, it seemed fitting that I should share a story about a father and son bonding over design of experiments (DOE) and toy cars. Full disclosure: Some (including their wives) think both the father and son in this tale are too old to be playing with
In a previous blog post, I investigated my travel time to work using an estimate from Google Maps. In that post, my possible departure times to and from work were the same every day. However, it’s not uncommon in designs, even when using computer simulators, to have restrictions on the
My last blog entry discussed using a covering array to test the Preferences for the Categorical platform. While the hope is that all of the tests pass, in this blog we consider what we can do when one of those tests fails. When you use “Make Table” after creating a
In any computer software, it’s not unusual to have a set of preferences to allow customization to the settings. JMP is no exception. For example, in JMP 12, the Categorical platform allows for a great deal of the output to be tailored to the user’s preferences. Here’s what we see
In my previous blog post, I created a 150-run space filling design to collect travel times over various departure times in the morning and evening. I wanted to see if I use this designed experiment to learn something useful about my commute. Google Maps gives a range of times for
