How to Access Analysis Options

Click the red triangle menu in a report to access a list of options that apply for that particular report. In addition to clicking the red triangle menu, you can also:

•	Select multiple actions at the same time. Hold down the Alt key and click the red triangle menu. A panel of all commands and options appears with check boxes.

•

Apply a command to all similar reports in the report window. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the red triangle menu. For example, in a One-way analysis, if you hold down the Ctrl key, click the icon, and select Means/Anova/t Test, an analysis of variance is performed for all One-way analyses in the active report window.

The red triangle options applicable to each platform in the Analyze and Graph menus are described in the following books:

•	Basic Analysis

•	Consumer Research

•	Essential Graphing

•	Multivariate Methods

•	Fitting Linear Models

•

Profilers

•	Specialized Models

•	Quality and Process Methods

•	Reliability and Survival Methods

Script Menus

The red triangle menu at the top level of every JMP report contains a Script menu. Most of these options are the same throughout JMP. A few platforms add extra options that are described in the specific platform chapters. Description of Script Menu Options lists the Script menu options that are common to all platforms.

Description of Script Menu Options
Redo Analysis	If the values in the data table that was used to produce the report have changed, this option duplicates the analysis based on the new data. The new analysis appears in a new report window.
Relaunch Analysis	Opens the platform Launch window and recalls the settings used to create the report.
Automatic Recalc	Automatically updates analyses and graphics when data table values change. See Automatic Recalc.
Copy Script	Places the script that reproduces the report on the clipboard so that it can be pasted elsewhere.
Save Script to Data Table	Saves the script to the data table that was used to produce the report.
Save Script to Journal	Saves a button that runs the script in a journal. The script is added to the current journal.
Save Script to Script Window	Opens a script editor window and adds the script to it. If you have already saved a script to a script window, additional scripts are added to the bottom of the same script window.
Save Script to Report	Adds the script to the top of the report window.
Save Script for All Objects	If you have By groups or similar multiple reports, a script for each object is saved to the script window. Otherwise, this option is the same as Save Script to Script Window.
Save Script for All Objects To Data Table	If you have By groups or similar multiple reports, a script for each object is saved to the current data table.
Save Script to Project	Saves the script in a project. If you have a project open that contains the report, the script is added to that project. If you do not have a project that contains the report, a new project is created and the script is added to it.
Data Table Window	Brings the corresponding data table used to create the report to the front.
Local Data Filter	If your data table contains row states and you do not want to affect them, use the Local Data Filter. The actions of this data filter are temporary and you can experiment with it. Note: Platforms that do not support the Automatic Recalc option also do not support the Local Data Filter option.
Column Switcher	Lets you interactively exchange one column for another on a graph. See Column Switcher.

If you have specified a By variable in the platform launch window, the Script All By-Groups menu also appears. These options apply to the reports for all the levels of the By variable.

Descriptions of Script All By-Groups Options
Redo Analysis	If the values in the data table that was used to produce the reports have changed, this option duplicates the analysis based on the new data and produces new reports.
Relaunch Analysis	Opens the platform Launch window and recalls the settings used to create the reports.
Copy Script	Places the script that reproduces the reports on the clipboard so that it can be pasted elsewhere.
Save Script to Data Table	Saves the script to the data table that was used to produce the reports.
Save Script to Journal	Saves a button that runs the script in a journal. The script is added to the current journal.
Save Script to Script Window	Opens a script editor window and adds the script to it. If you have already saved a script to a script window, additional scripts are added to the bottom of the same script window.

Automatic Recalc

The Automatic Recalc feature immediately reflects changes that you make to the data table in the corresponding report window. You can make any of the following data table changes:

•	exclude or unexclude data table rows

•	delete or add data table rows

This powerful feature immediately reflects these changes to the corresponding analyses, statistics, and graphs that are located in a report window.

To turn on Automatic Recalc for a report window, click on the platform red triangle menu and select Script > Automatic Recalc. To turn it off, deselect the same option. You can also turn on Automatic Recalc using JSL.

Note: For some platforms, the Automatic Recalc feature is not appropriate and therefore is not supported. These platforms include the following: DOE, Profilers, Choice, Partition, Nonlinear, Neural, Neural Net, Partial Least Squares, Fit Model (REML, GLM, Log Variance), Gaussian Process, Item Analysis, Cox Proportional Hazard, Response Screening, and Control Charts (except Run Chart).

Column Switcher

Within a report, use the Column Switcher to quickly analyze different variables without having to re-create your analysis. To activate the Column Switcher, from a report window, click on the red triangle menu. Select Script > Column Switcher.

If you have multiple columns, use the buttons to animate the column switching or step through each column manually. Move the slider control to change the speed of the animation.

Note: You cannot copy or move the column switcher within a report. Also, a column switcher cannot be saved to a JMP journal.

Example of the Column Switcher

You have data about nutrition information for candy bars. You want to examine different factors, to see which factors best predict calorie levels.

1.	Open the Candy Bars.jmp sample data table.

2.	Select Graph > Graph Builder.

3.	Click Total fat g and drag to the X zone.

4.	Click Calories and drag to the Y zone.

5.	Click Cholesterol g and drag to the Wrap zone.

6.	From the red triangle next to Graph Builder, select Script > Column Switcher.

Choose the column that you want to switch from:

7.	Select Cholesterol g and click OK.

Choose the columns that you want to switch to:

8.	Select Saturated fat g, Cholesterol g, Sodium mg, Carbohydrate g, Dietary fiber g, and Sugars g and click OK.

Column Switcher in Graph Builder Window

9.	Click the Play button to cycle between the different factors. Use the slider to control the speed of the animation. Alternatively, you can step through each factor individually.

You can see that the relationship between calories and fat is relatively strong for each level of carbohydrate. Therefore, Carbohydrate g appears to be the best predictor of calorie levels.
