Dear JMP community,
I've only been using JMP for a short time and I still have a lot to learn. I hope you can help me with a problem.
I try to use a data filter to select data for which I want the best distribution fit. Then I would like to have the name of the most suitable distribution from the report:
datafilter1 = dt << Data Filter(
Mode( Select( 0 ), Show( 1 ), Include( 1 ) ),
Add Filter( columns( :feature ) )
);
dis = datafilter1 << Distribution( Automatic Recalc( 1 ), Column( :Data ) );
dis << Fit Distribution( All );
theDist = Trim( Word( 3, Report( dis )["Compare Distributions"][String Col Box( 1 )] << get text, "\!n" ) );
The first part works just fine. I can select and display the data using the filter.
But, I only ever get the name of the first distribution when I start the script. If I then select a different data distribution by using the filter, the first name is retained and does not change.
How can you solve the problem? I've already done a lot of research on this, but can't find a solution that would fit. Maybe you can help me. Many Thanks!
