Preference to set alpha in Fit Model multiple comparisonsHi all,
Anyone know of an easy way to set a preference that changes the alpha value for multiple comparisons tests in Fit Model? I was thinking I would find it in Preferences > Platforms > LSMeans Comparisons but it isn't there.
Right now all I can do is either (1) CTRL-SHIFT-click the LSMeans option that I want and type the new alpha in multiple times, or (2) build the analysis with the default 0.05, save the script, and search and replace the 0.05 out of the script with the new alpha.
(More generally, is there a single list of all alpha-related preferences throughout JMP? I'd find a blanket change of alpha useful when I'm working on projects that need a stricter value for alpha.)
Thanks
Re: Preference to set alpha in Fit Model multiple comparisons@Jeff_Perkinson, is this option scriptable? Or do I need to get the preference, change it for the script's needs, and then set the preference back to its original setting?

I can't make promises but maybe sooner than that. 
Re: Preference to set alpha in Fit Model multiple comparisonsPerfect. I didn't think about Model Dialog. I thought I had to be in the actual "subplatform" I was using (in this case the LSMeans Comparisons). Good to remember to think both general and specific when looking for a preference.

Re: Preference to set alpha in Fit Model multiple comparisonsI think the Set Alpha Level preference in the Model Dialog section will get you what you're looking for.
