The data in the Tiretread.jmp sample data table are the result of a designed experiment where the factors are orthogonal. For this reason, you use importance estimates based on independent inputs. Suppose that you believe that, in practice, factor values vary throughout the design space, rather than assume only the settings defined in the experiment. Then you should choose Independent Uniform Inputs as the sampling scheme for your importance indices.
1.
Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Tiretread.jmp.
2.
Run the script RSM for 4 Responses.
3.
From the red triangle menu next to Prediction Profiler, select Assess Variable Importance > Independent Uniform Inputs.
The Summary Report is shown in Figure 2.28. Because the importance indices are based on random sampling, your estimates might differ slightly from those shown in the figure.

Figure 2.29 Prediction Profiler for Four Responses
The Marginal Model Plots report (Figure 2.30) shows mean responses for each factor across a uniform distribution of settings for the other two factors.
