The general workflow in JMP involves three steps.
1. Get your data into JMP.
2. Select a platform and complete its launch window.
3. Explore your results and discover insights from your data.
This workflow is described in more detail in Understand the JMP Workflow.
Typically, you start your work in JMP by using graphs to visualize individual variables and relationships among those variables. Graphs make it easy to see this information and to help identify deeper questions to ask. Then you can use analysis platforms to explore your issues and find solutions.
• “Work with Your Data” shows how to get data into JMP.
• “Visualize Your Data” shows how to use common JMP graphs to look more closely at your data.
• “Analyze Your Data” shows how to use some of the analysis platforms.
• “The Big Picture” shows how to analyze distributions, patterns, and similar values in several platforms.
Each chapter teaches through examples. The following sections in this chapter describe data tables and general concepts for working in JMP.
