Key Features

The new Graph Builder platform lets you construct graphs interactively as you explore your continuous and categorical data.

Drag and drop to instantly create scatterplots, bar charts, histograms, trend lines, box plots and more.
Visually compare across grouping levels for insightful analysis.
Partition data by both continuous and categorical variables to easily see interactions.

The new Choice platform helps you discover consumer preferences so you can tailor the features of products and services to consumer desires.

Discover differences in market segments to create targeted offerings.
Use what you know about consumer preferences to design your study.
The integrated Profiler helps you understand, visualize and optimize products and services.
Get utility scores for segmenting/clustering your data.
Use Firth bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimators.

New additions to the Reliability platform improve your understanding of product and part lifetimes.
Use Fit Life by X to analyze lifetime events for accelerated test data. Compare different distributions at the same factor level or the same distribution across different factor levels.
Use Life Distribution to find the most suitable distributional model for your time-to-event data and make predictions. Weibull, Lognormal, Fréchet, Extreme Value and other distributions are available.
Use Competing Causes analysis to explore failure causes in a system and understand the effects of repair.
Mixture Profiler shows response contours for mixture experiment models, where three or more factors in the experiment are components in a mixture.

JMP 8 works with SAS 9.1.3 and SAS 9.2.
A new SAS toolbar provides convenient access to SAS features.
See and import data from your local SAS server connection in the Browse SAS Data window and through JSL.
Take stratified random samples (using PROC SURVEYSELECT) when importing data from SAS.
Get SAS results in HTML, PDF or RTF when you submit SAS code.
New data sets created by submitted SAS code are now tracked and imported into JMP automatically.
Get SAS procedure output in the familiar JMP report format.

Export Bubble Plots and Profilers as Adobe Flash animations for use in Web pages, presentations and other documents.

Use new Bubble Plot Trail Lines to connect bubble trails for enhanced visualization of change over time.
Contour Plot now has a Color Theme menu.
All Control Charts can now shade zones.
Surface Plot interface has been simplified.

A frequency column option is now available in the Variability launch window.
The Variability platform has a new way to compute variance components using Bayesian estimation.
A new bias report and graph shows the bias by each standard reference value used.
Misclassification probabilities are now available for the Gauge R&R studies.
Specify limits in Gauge R&R.
Get parameter-estimates-type reports in the linearity report.

Goal plots can now draw a defect rate contour and shade Cpk regions.
Interactively change the displayed Cpk threshold using a slider bar.
Points appearing in goal plots now link directly to their respective columns in the original data table.
