Platforms
JMP consists of platforms that are organized by the type of statistical analysis. For example, the Distribution platform produces a univariate analysis (the distribution of a single variable) using histograms, additional graphs, and reports. You might analyze data in the Distribution platform and then choose another platform to examine the data more thoroughly.
Platforms and reports work together as follows:
1. The data table is the input for a platform. See “Data Tables”.
2. The platform analysis starts in a launch window. See “Launch Windows”.
3. The platform results appear in a report window. See “Reports”.
Figure 2.2 “Anatomy of a Typical JMP Session on Windows” shows how a platform interacts with the data table and then displays the results in a report window. Information about using platforms is available in the JMP documentation library.
Launch Windows
The launch window is your point of entry into a platform, where you specify the columns to analyze. Figure 2.2 shows the Distribution launch window.
Figure 2.11 Launch Window Features
Launch Window Features
All launch windows have in common provide the following options:
Select Columns
Lists all of the variables in your current data table. Note the following:
‒ Right-click the modeling type icon next to a column name to change the modeling type.
‒ Right-click the column name to create a transform column. See “Transform Columns” in the “Enter and Edit Data” chapter.
‒ Filter and sort the columns using the options in the red triangle menu. See “Column Filter Menu”.
Cast Selected Columns into Roles
Moves selected columns into roles (such as Y, X, and so on.) You cast a column into the role of a variable (like an actor is cast into a role). See “Cast Selected Columns into Roles Buttons”.
In the Graph Builder window, click the Dialog button on the left or select Redo > Relaunch Analysis to show this panel.
Action
The following options are available:
OK
performs the analysis.
Cancel
stops the analysis and quits the launch window.
Remove
deletes any selected variables from a role.
Recall
populates the launch window with the last analysis that you performed.
Help
takes you to the Help for the launch window.
Cast Selected Columns into Roles Buttons
The following buttons frequently appear throughout launch windows. Buttons that are specific to certain platforms are described in the chapter for the specific platform.
Y
Identifies a column as a response or dependent variable whose distribution is to be studied.
X
Identifies a column as an independent, classification, or explanatory variable that predicts the distribution of the Y variable.
Weight
Identifies the data table column whose variables assign weight (such as importance or influence) to the data.
Freq
Identifies the data table column whose values assign a frequency to each row. This option is useful when a frequency is assigned to each row in summarized data. If the value is 0 or a positive integer, then the value represents the frequencies or counts of observations for each row when there are multiple units recorded.
Image shown hereValidation
Identifies the data table column whose values assign rows to training, validation, and test sets for crossvalidation in fitting models.
Notes:
‒ For some platforms, KFold validation is available if you specify more than three levels in the Validation column.
‒ If you click the Validation button with no columns selected in the Select Columns list, you have the option to create a Validation column. For more information about the Make Validation Column utility, see the Modeling Utilities chapter in the Predictive and Specialized Modeling book.
By
Identifies a column that creates a report consisting of separate analyses for each level of the variable.
Tip: You can paste a transform column into a Roles box on the launch window. For example, you might copy a transform column from a script. Right-click in the appropriate launch window Cast Selected Columns into Roles box and select Paste. This is an alternative to right-clicking the column in the Select Columns list, selecting the transform, and adding the transform column to a role.
Column Filter Menu
A Column Filter menu appears in most of the launch windows. The Column Filter menu is found by clicking the red triangle in the Select Columns panel. Use these options to sort columns, show or hide columns, or search columns.

Resets the columns to its original list.
Sort by Name
Sorts the columns in alphabetical order by name.
Modeling Type
Provides options for showing or hiding columns with specific modeling types.
Numeric

Character
Shows or hides columns whose data type is Character.
Expression
Shows or hides columns whose data type is Expression.

Column Groups
Ungrouped Columns
Shows or hides columns that have not been grouped.
Reports
After you launch your analysis, the report window appears. The report window shows the output of your analysis using interactive graphs and text reports. For details, see the “JMP Reports” chapter.

In JMP, typically you have several windows open at once (for example, data tables, reports, and the JMP Home Window). JMP provides several ways to arrange and display these open windows.
On Windows:
• Press the Control and Tab keys to switch between windows.
• Use the Reveal feature (F9 or Window > Reveal). See “Using the Reveal Feature”.
• Use the options in the Window menu. Note that Arrange options are also available using the Arrange Menu Image shown here option in the bottom right corner of most windows. If you cannot see Arrange Menu, JMP Home Window, and View Associated Data buttons, select View > Status Bars.
Tip: From the Arrange Menu option on Windows, you can merge open windows by selecting Combine Windows. See “Example of Combining Windows to Create a Dashboard” in the “Extend JMP” chapter for details.
• To display the JMP Home Window, click the JMP Home Window Image shown here button in the lower right corner of most windows, or hold down Control and press 1.
• To show the data table for a report, click View Associated Data Image shown here button in the bottom right corner of the report.
• To open an associated report when you are viewing a data table, double-click the thumbnail preview of the report in the bottom pane. To enlarge the preview, place your cursor over the thumbnail. See Figure 2.16.

On Macintosh:
• Use the options in the Window menu.
• Use the Expose feature (F9 or F3).
Preview JMP Files
For some JMP file types, you can use Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder to view a portion of the selected file. Windows supports a preview of JMP data tables, journals, and scripts. Macintosh supports a preview of data tables and scripts.
To preview a JMP file
1. In Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder, select the file that you want to preview.
2. In Windows Explorer, select the Show the preview pane Image shown here button in the upper right corner. Support in e-mail programs varies.
In the Macintosh Finder, select the file and press the spacebar, or select the Quick Look option on the context menu or File menu. In Mail, select the Quick Look Attachment option on the context menu or File menu.
The preview pane shows a portion of the selected file.
