We launched the New User Welcome Kit about six weeks ago, and we've already gotten great response from JMP users. Hundreds have tried it already. What is it? It's an interactive web resource that helps you get comfortable with the basics of JMP – at your own pace. You follow
I'm happy to report that we posted our 1,000th post at the JMP Blog yesterday, with Ryan Lekivetz's post on using space filling designs to explore data about his work commute! Ryan's post is an example of the technical content that JMP Blog readers love best. So, I looked back
Two of the biggest reasons our users love JMP are its interactivity and its ability to dramatically reduce the time needed to perform routine yet critical analysis tasks. Indeed, the primary strengths of JMP lie in the ways in which it differs from conventional software, and we repeatedly hear from users
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
