Marking outliers in a histogram with an entry from one of other columns

Question

Hi,

I have a table with multiple columns say X,Y,Z. If I plot a histogram of Z and want to 
mark all outliers with row entries of X instead of just row number, is this possible using JSL?

Thanks,
ASVP

Thanks Rastignac, this works for me. As you have mentioned, If I use it for distribution then I can only mark the outliers as defined by JMP.

Thanks for your help.

ASVP,

What you're looking for is a combination of the For Each Row() loop and the Row State() statement.

Here's a simple JSL program, again in Big Class:

Bivariate(Y(height), X(weight));
For Each Row( 
	If( height > 68, Row State() = Labeled State( 1 ) 
	) 
)

This draws a scatter plot and labels anything with a height greater than 68. You can make the condition for labeling anything you want.

It works for Distribution, too, as long as the points are plotted as outliers:

Distribution(Y(height));
For Each Row( 
	If( height < 53, Row State() = Labeled State( 1 ) 
	) 
)

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to alter JMP's determination of what is an outlier in the Distribution platform.

Hi Rastignac,

Thanks for your response, I can follow your procedure to manually label points but 
I would like the script to do this labeling automatically for all Z values greater than a defined
threshold. Is this possible using JSL?
