Adding a dollar cost to model factors

tnad

Hi,

 

I built a model, let's say, with two factors X1 and X2 and a response Y. Using a contour profiler, I can see the values of X1 and X2 that result in my target Y on a grid line. In reality, there is a dollar cost associated with each of X1 and X2 and I would like to display that cost for the X1 / X2 values that match my target Y (on the contour grid line).

 

Is there a trick to do this in JMP? I don't see a way to extract data on a contour profiler grid line.

 

I'm not sure if there's another way to associate the dollar costs of factors to the model?

JMP is pretty good at this kind of thing, since the Profiler allows simultaneous optimisation. Here's a toy example:

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

// Sample data
dt = NewTable("Surface with Costs",
		NewColumn("x1", Formula(RandomUniform(-1, 1))),
		NewColumn("x2", Formula(RandomUniform(-1, 1))),
		// Maximum of 'y' is at (+1, +1)
		NewColumn("y", Formula(:x1 + :x2)),
		// 'x1' and 'x2' costs increase linearly
		NewColumn("Total Cost", Formula(:x1 + :x2)),
		AddRows(50)
);
// Maximise 'y', minimise 'Total Cost'
Column(dt, "y") << Set Property("Response Limits", {Goal( Maximize ), Importance( 1 ), Show Limits( 0 )});
Column(dt, "Total Cost") << Set Property("Response Limits", {Goal( Minimize ), Importance( 1 ), Show Limits( 0 )});

// Profiler
pr = dt << Profiler(Y( :y, :Total Cost ));
// Maximise desirability
Wait(3);
pr << maximizeDesirability;
