Cover Story: JMP For Linux Is Coming!
 

JMP recently announced plans to launch a Linux version of its statistical analysis software in early 2003. Currently available for both Windows XP and MacOS X, JMP software dynamically links statistics and graphics, allowing users to explore data, make discoveries and gain knowledge for better decision-making. The JMP port to Linux provides the Linux community an opportunity to take part in a user-oriented development process.

“The JMP development team is eager to provide a Linux version of its statistical software,” said Richard Potter, lead developer for JMP host platforms. In an effort to incorporate the capabilities most needed by the Linux audience, JMP has developed a survey that asks users for feedback on topics such as database support, real-time data capture and preferred packaging for a statistical application, just to name a few examples. This survey can be found at www.jmp.com/linux. READ MORE

JMP for Linux will contain the same features as its Windows and Macintosh counterparts, but with a Linux look and feel to the GUI (Graphical User Interface).

How Can You Validate Your JMP Software?

Just how accurate is your copy of JMP? Find out for yourself. We've recently updated our white paper, "Assessing the Numerical Accuracy in JMP," for Version 5. JMP performs extremely well in all benchmark cases of the National Institute of Standards Statistical Reference Datasets. These datasets were designed for software developers to benchmark algorithms. We invite you to read the white paper yourself and see just how well JMP measures up against these challenging standards. You may also download the JMP data files referenced in the document from our website.
