A forest plot (Figure 1) is a convenient way to graphically display several confidence or credible intervals and is often used in meta-analysis. Here, the x-axis represents the treatment effect between two interventions while the y-axis refers to the individual studies from which the intervals are obtained, or to various consensus intervals derived
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had several customers ask how they can more easily manage and deploy a collection of JMP scripts, particularly in the case where an internal development team may periodically release new versions of some or all of the scripts. If you find yourself asking the
One of the great new pleasures in life, if you enjoy crunchy chocolate, is pretzel M&Ms. If you haven’t tried then yet, you should! I’m down to my last five – one of each color (red, blue, brown, green and orange.) Should I eat just a couple and save the
A typical diagnostic test has two outcomes: positive or negative with the goal of classifying subjects correctly based on a “gold standard” or known outcome. These diagnostic tests have specific performance measures that are used to assess the clinical value of a test. Two basic measures for a diagnostic test
When building a prediction model, there are a variety of ways that we can model the response as a function of our predictors. The Fit Model platform in JMP allows us to model the response as a linear function of our predictors. The Nonlinear platform allows us to model the
JMP software is used for making important and compelling business points and scientific discoveries. Having worked in the software industry for a number of years, I’ve also found an interesting personal reliance on JMP to answer simpler questions in my daily life. I realized this recently as I maneuvered through
Wayne Levin is part of a group of engineers, statisticians and programmers who are passionate about expanding the use of statistical methods to improve productivity, quality and yields. That group is Predictum, and Wayne is president. How exactly does Predictum help companies improve productivity, quality and yields? "We do this
Many companies have developed custom applications using JSL (JMP Scripting Language). These applications put the rich analytic capability and dynamic interactive graphics of JMP into the hands of hundreds of analysts who make critical decisions. But, JSL can also be used to extend JMP more generally by adding new features
JMP offers a lot of sophisticated statistical analyses that are easy to use because of its well-designed user interfaces. Nonlinear estimation is not as easy to use because the incredible flexibility of that platform may challenge even a statistically savvy person. However, with JMP Scripting Language (JSL), it is easy
My name is Jennifer Baulier, and I am a summer student at JMP. I attend college at WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), and applied for my internship at SAS through the R3 program. I am going into my sophomore year and am studying both computer science and video game development. I
