help with what test and how to run it

onewman1

Hi, i am new to jmp and I was hoping someone might explain to me what test and how to run it in jmp for a specific question:

 

I am looking at the effect of a nominal outcome (yes or no response). One of the factors that will influence this the outcome is based on a continuous variable (a specific test). However that continuous variable (test) is potentially related to the age of that person when they underwent the test (another continuous variable). So I am looking to see if the test, when controlled for age, is going to have an impact on the outcome (yes or no). 

 

Thanks

This analysis is actually quite straight-forward.

 

1. Set up a separate data column for Outcome, Factor, and Age. You can use whatever names you like, of course.
2. Make sure that the modeling type for Outcome is nominal.
3. Make sure that the factor and age are defined for numeric data and use continuous modeling type.
4. Enter the data one observation per row.
5. Select Analyze > Fit Model.
6. Select the Outcome data column and click Y.
7. Select the Factor and Age columns and click Add.
8. If it is possible that the effect of Factor is age-dependent, then select the Factor and Age columns again and click Cross.
9. The upper right should automatically change Personality to Nominal Logistic Regression.
10. Click Run.
