Recreating graphs is a hobby of mine. It both helps me test the limits of JMP and sharpens my own data handling and visualization skills. This time, there was a third benefit: finding a significant data error in the published chart. I recently saw this interesting mosquito trends chart as

You may have heard that a horse named Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby recently. Nyquist was the favorite going into the race, though he was not without his doubters. Many expert race prognosticators questioned his stamina, and I was curious about the basis for those comments. My due diligence revealed
In consulting with companies about building models with their data, I always talk to them about how their data may differentiate itself over time. For instance, are there seasons in which you might expect a rise in flu cases per day, or is there an economic environment in which you

Gerhard Svolba is a colleague at SAS who is not only an experienced analyst and a caring father, but also an author for SAS Press and an enthusiastic sailor. He has done valuable research about detecting data quality problems and their consequences for data analysis. As a statistician, I’m well
I shared in my previous post that I scoured my baby book and tracking notebooks and requested various medical records to gather historical information about my weight fluctuations over the years. I used this data to construct JMP graphs with annotations and pinned hover labels containing pictures (thanks to the
When I created the four-factor definitive screening design discussed in my previous blog post, I was excited to try out the new technique that Bradley Jones presented at the JMP Discovery Summit. Looking at the dyed cars, I noticed some promising results and a wide array of colors. The new
I hope that by now you've heard about our new Technically Speaking webcast series. The goal of this series is to help you understand and work through issues with your data so that you can focus on answering your most important questions. It features JMP team members sharing data case studies and
The title of this post is provocative, I know. But if you read this list, I'll bet you'll find something that you didn't know about. Now, if it turns out that you already knew most of these, I do want to know. Take a moment, let me know and add
