Bootstrapping takes a long time

Hello,

 

I am performing a bootstrap on some data created using the mixture distribution function as part of the life distribution to calculate reliability. I am using the bootstrap data to develop confidence intervals for the mixture distribution parameters. The 5 parameters estimated are sigma 1&2, mu 1&2, and portion which is what I am creating the bootstrap for. I am not designating a random seed and left as a '.', I am using fractional weights though with a generated sample size of 2500 as the standard input. The question I have is should this bootstrap normally take 1.5 hours or so? It seems to be pretty long and I was discussing with a coworker that this doesn't seem right and to get my computer checked out as the processing speed may be low. But my computer is fairly new, I have a Dell Precision 7560 with i7 intel processor 2.50GHz and 32GB of RAM, so I am curious if the long time for bootstrapping is typical or if there is something else with JMP I should look into?

 

Thanks for the help!

Cannot judge this, but probably we need a benchmark script to compare,

see code encluded. The analysis needs 79 s on my computer (JMP 16.1 Pro on Win10 on Dell precision 3551 Intel core i7 2.7 MHz 32GB, probably comparable to yours).

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );

starttime = tick seconds();
dt = New Table( "Random",
 add rows( 1000000 ),
 New Column( "X", formula( Row() ) ),
 New Column( "Y", formula( :X + Random Normal( 0, 3 ) ) )
);

obj = Bivariate( Y( :Y ), X( :X ) );
obj << Fit Line;
(obj << Report)[Number Col Box( 1 )] << Bootstrap(
 100,
 Fractional Weights( 1 ),
 Split Selected Column( 1 )
);
endtime= tick seconds();
print(eval insert("Analysis took ^round(endtime - starttime)^ seconds"))

166 seconds on older 4 cpu machine. You have nice hardware!

Re: Bootstrapping takes a long time

Can't resist a benchmark . 45 seconds on my MacBook Pro (JMP 16.2):

Re: Bootstrapping takes a long time

That makes me feel good.  My machine is at least 12 years old (i7, 3.4GHz) and it took 142 seconds.  I keep thinking I need to upgrade my machine, but it seems wasteful and unnecessary.  These benchmark results help - yes, I can do better, but I'm not completely out of line!

Re: Bootstrapping takes a long time

When I hear users describing excessive time to generate reports, I usually suggest to go into File -> preferences -> windows specific, and uncheck 'enable hardware accelerated graphics.' I have no idea if that will help in your case, because I think when users have this issue it applies to many or all platforms, but it is an easy thing to check.  Sounds like you'll know in a few minutes (or a few hours). 

 

Here's a note on it:

Hi @Georg,

 

Thanks for the benchmark! I ran it and it took me 77 seconds, so I think the issue is more in regards to the computationally intensive method of the bootstrap for estimating the statistical parameters from the mixture distribution data, as @peng_liu pointed out in a later response. I attached an example of the parameters I perform the bootstrap on which takes the 1.5 hours.

 

 

Re: Bootstrapping takes a long time

I know that this can make trouble, we had several laptops, where this option checked lead to unresponsive GUI (on windows machines, using JMP16 ...). Unchecking this option made the problem gone. So I resume this is connected to the graphical display (as the option says) and not to the underlying calculation, that here needs the time, and it's complexity is the "problem".

Re: Bootstrapping takes a long time

Hi Georg, 

I agree with you. I figured I would mention it just in case it was related but at this point I'd say it definitely is not.  The original poster responded in this thread yesterday (but for some reason it is showing up in the middle of page 1) that their run of benchmark took 77 seconds, so that is in the range everyone else's results.
