In PASW, one must manually go into the variable name, then type in the replacement (or use syntax) in JMP, one must double-click the variable name, then type in the replacement (or use syntax). JMP, in contrast, lets you resize the each part of a dialogue box individually, so you can see a long variable label easily.Ĭhanging variable names “the regular way” was clunky in each program.

Variables with long labels are problematic in PASW dialogue boxes you can resize the box, but the variable lists only resize in proportion to the overall box, so you can end up with a dialogue box that fills the screen but doesn't show a full variable label.

The file open/save dialogues are standard Mac versions, so special folders (like the Desktop) appear where you’d expect, rather than being ignored (e.g. Import from Excel is easy, and JMP is “Excel-savvy” enough to know about the different tabs that can be in a worksheet. You can open files from a shared database via ODBC, using a surprisingly versatile and user-friendly dialogue, or from the usual tab-delimited and CSV text files the program does a good job of guessing what format the data is in, and unlike PASW/SPSS, does not force the user to select the data type before showing a list of options. It’s not a bad way for beginners or casual users to get used to the program, and it uses relatively jargon-free language along with icons to make the results clear. On the left is a second menu of options so you can actually use the Starter to run tests, too, if you want. One interesting aspect of the “Starter” is that it’s not just, as it appears on first glance, the standard “here’s a bunch of ways to open new or old files” screen.

At that point, the user is faced with two windows (both of which can be disabled from the preferences for a slightly faster launch) one provides basic starting commands for JMP, the other provides the “tip of the day.” The JMP session begins with launching the program. Opening a small survey with 50 variables and a couple of hundred responses provides immediate gratification scripts and search/replace operations are practically instant, too. Try to open a spreadsheet with four variables and 30,000 15-digit entries, and while SPSS PASW is busily digesting the idea, JMP has already opened it and displayed descriptive statistics. Think about a Dodge Viper and a Toyota Yaris automatic and you may get the picture.” We even wrote, “There is no point in comparing JMP with PASW 18 (SPSS) in terms of speed they are in different classes. Performance in our initial tests was blindingly fast, with instant response times, and no hint that this program is published by a company that only makes a single Mac-compatible product. The writers have kept it Mac-friendly, to the point of having Mac-only preferences. By the same token, though, you can “play with your data” easily, with numerous shortcuts to make quick changes to the output or statistics. That is not to say it will not do most of what statistical researchers do - you can have a proper pre-determined research plan, and carry it out easily with JMP. Today, SAS-JMP 8 has a more conventional interface, but it is still advanced and designed for exploratory research. The program was puzzling it replaced the Mac desktop with a program desktop, meant to bring a new user interface to statistics, along with the kind of three-dimensional exploratory graphing most people had only dreamt of. JMP started out many years ago as John’s Macintosh Project, bringing visual exploratory statistics to the microcomputer.
