“There is no delight in owning anything unshared”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic Philosopher
When you’re involved in a really fun project or know a really cool trick, you want to share it with the world…especially when you believe this knowledge will help others. My really fun project and collection of exciting tricks are embodied in the structural equation modeling platform in JMP Pro. Sharing the unique features of our structural equation models (SEM) platform brings me absolute joy! Why? Because I spent countless hours, spanning more than 10 years, fitting SEMs in difficult-to-use software; believe me when I say that I know the many pain points alleviated by the SEM platform in JMP Pro.
As a statistical software developer, I’ve been privileged with the opportunity to revamp SEM software, to rethink the approach of fitting SEMs and to facilitate the process of doing so. After a little more than two years of development work with an outstanding team, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! And best of all, we are just getting started.
I’ve written before about the unique advantages of fitting SEMs in JMP Pro 15, but with the release of JMP Pro 16, there’s a lot more to celebrate:
What’s the buzz about?
- Efficiency is everything. There are major gains in workflow when models are collected in one place. Statistical comparisons, tweaks in specification, and side-by-side comparison of results are just some of the things you can do much more efficiently in JMP Pro, especially when paired with interactive shortcuts. Say goodbye to folders with dozens of individual model output files. Preview some of the time savings you can enjoy in this video.
