Introducing JMP

Basic Concepts

JMP (pronounced jump) is a powerful and interactive data visualization and statistical analysis tool. Use JMP to learn more about your data by performing analyses and interacting with the data by using data tables, graphs, charts, and reports.

For example, you can use JMP to do the following tasks:

Create interactive graphs and charts to explore your data and discover relationships.

Discover patterns of variation across many variables at once.

Explore and summarize large amounts of data.

Develop powerful statistical models to predict the future.
