scatterplot 3D settings

Question

I am working on dataset (attached) in which I am trying to show if there are any patterns in the recovery at different settings of 'a' and 'b' at three different time points. I wanted to show this using scatterplot 3D and I looked up this plot Graph Builder contour plots in JMP 15

I am not sure how to set up my data to get this type of graph. I tried doing it and the results are I got are in the data table. Is it possible to show my data with this type of scatterplot 3D? I am not sure if looking at three time points at once is possible, if not then I can look at one time point and look at the pattern in recovery at setting a and b.

I'm not sure that your original pictures or pmroz's approach are different than your example.

The obvious differences are likely caused by the lack of data points and the fact that your a and b values have fewer levels than the example picture. With more realized levels in the a and b data, I think you would end up with similar pictures.

So, a few questions on what you are really trying to do. Would you want a, b, and recovery on the axes and the various time points "consolidated" on the same graph? Use Scatterplot 3D and drag a, b, and recovery to the Y, Columns role. This is similar to the script you saved in your example data, but it had "consolidated" points across b rather than time.

Instead, are you trying to plot a, b, and recovery for a specific time point? That is the solution pmroz provided.

You don't have enough data to get a graph similar to the picture you showed.  Another possibility: set time as the coloring variable and you'll see all the points at once, with each time in a different color.  Also you can connect the points which will help somewhat.

Here are the steps.  Note that you have to change time to be ordinal.

In the 3d scatterplot click the red triangle and select Connect Points
