What is JMP 3?

Among the great pitcher Satchel Paige’s collection of maxims was “Don’t look back . . . something might be gaining on you.” JMP 3.0 from SAS Institute is gaining on Mac statistics market leaders StatView, DataDesk, and SYSTAT. In the world of statistics, SAS has the kind of resources Microsoft commands with its familiar business software, and the new version of JMP implements several years’ worth of detailed user requests.

The starting point of a JMP analysis has always been a spreadsheet-like data table, acquired as any delimited text file or directly from SAS applications on other platforms. The Tables, Rows, and Columns menus contain more than 30 table-editing commands for convenient and precise datastructure control; but the feaaire that really sets JMP 3.0 apart is the Design Experiment command under Tables. SAS’s excellent experimental-design program now operates directly on data tables within JMP, allowing specification of simple, mixed, general factorial, and optimal designs with a single mouse-click. The documentation of design features was easier to follow when JMP Design was sold as a separate product, but that’s not much of a price to pay for the convenience of integration.

JMP 3.0 implements a substantial list of additions. Cluster analysis with treegraph output operates on any selection of rows in a table; JMP now offers QuickTime data movies (a surprisingly useful method of exploratory data analysis); and contour and ternary plots are both options (although the contour plots are not as sophisticated as those in Igor and DeltaGraph). A new survival-analysis option (for analyzing failure in engineering or, ahem, death in medical experiments) includes proportional hazard models and parametric failure-time models. Two new moving-average control charts (unweighted, exponential) appear as quality-control options; it’s puzzling that timeseries data smoothing doesn’t appear in other contexts in JMP.

Some improvements — floating tool palettes, an annotation tool for data tables, better color support, and a magnifier — simply indicate that JMP is catching up with its competitors. Other enhancements — such as the ability to accommodate any number of rows, limited only by RAM — are significant for users of large-systems SAS files. It’s encouraging to note that calculation and graphing response (using a Quadra 610) is nearly instantaneous on data files smaller than 20 columns by 2000 rows. JMP has always had a simple focus on correlation and regression, and now with the addition of integrated experimental design, JMP 3.0 can be used for a wide range of biological, chemical, and physical-science investigations. It still needs time-series facilities for econometrics, and social scientists will want more explicit nonparametric statistics, but version 3.0 expands JMP’s domain without losing any of its original appeal.
