You might say I love sports. I began swimming at a very early age and participated on swim teams for many years. Gymnastics, volleyball, softball, basketball and even track teams were all part of my life, and I loved playing and competing. So maybe that is why I always love
The Summer Games are over, and here's one thing that surprised me. I had assumed that since Rio is in the southern hemisphere, where it’s currently winter, the Games would be shifted a couple months, as they were for Sydney. I’ve since learned that Rio is very pleasant in the winter
JMP users might notice that new versions of the software often bring the ability to support new kinds of data. The ability to incorporate image data came with JMP 12, and with JMP 13 comes support for text data. In the early days of this platform’s development, we were brainstorming

Most Discovery Summit attendees name the user-led breakout sessions as a top reason for attending the conference. There’s a lot of value in these talks, which showcase first-rate statistical techniques and novel applications of the software. Presenters will share real-world case studies about how they’ve used JMP to solve problems,
Do you ever need to visualize more than three dimensions in your graphs? If so, you likely know about parallel plots, or parallel coordinate plots. They’ve been available in JMP for a long time. In the new version of JMP, parallel plots are even easier and more fun to use
Scientists and engineers who work with high-density sensors face data problems that can make getting insights from data more challenging. Whether you’re trying to make sense of information from industrial devices living on the Internet of Things or monitoring health and fitness parameters, JMP provides an ideal sandbox for sifting
Have you ever wanted to include data in an analysis without having to subset it from different tables and put it all together in a new table? Have you wanted to “see” how your data will come together before committing to joining many tables to make sure you get it
Do you find it fascinating to look at the items in other people’s grocery carts at the store? I do. In mine, you will often see orange juice, whole milk, Fuji apples and blackberries. And if I’m buying grape tomatoes, it’s likely I’m also buying parmesan cheese and basil (to
