Good representation across functional areas (Elanco and Lilly) – production, product development, strong users, interaction with top level support (Statistics Scott Clack) for this event. Nice dinner with 8 customers. People came from all over the US to this event (remote workers). Positive Survey – cover basics is always good. 2 good lightning talks.

Defects and Technical Support
[Note: Laura still needs to enter these into defects, etc.]
- P&G – incoming bugs and improvements from this week’s webexes (FDE improvements)
- First Solar – Uday – [add number] – debugger crashed/failed? Profile his script.
- Bank of America – had issues trying to understand how the custom regex works – documentation wasn’t sufficient to get started from ground zero - need example of using custom regex – video?
- Micron – JMP Add-in manager – Laura’s notes… low priority but interesting idea.
- Micron IMFT – Want multiple Xs in JMP Pro 14 Functional Data Explorer and example of using this for spatial data
- Seagate – Oracle time-out and JMP ODBC – current tech support track and gathering info from user Heidi Hardner
- Seagate – Tuning table for bootstrap forest – user was not able to create this from the documentation although they had the right idea (fast flexible filling design) – success with Chris Rea with my version. Need to add to sample library or file exchange.
- Seagate - I was trying to extract a specific Quantile (95%) from the fit Y by X platform, what I could find on the forum was to edit tabulate platform but I would like that baked into the Y/X platform.
- Seagate Validation not respecting hidden rows
- [SAS 7612390123] During JMP Pro trial the built in validation proportion in boosted trees fail because too many excluded rows were picked to be part of the validation set
- Seagate question about orthogonality in tree methods – Laura will post on community
- Whirlpool JMP Pro (on Pro 12) – add these - Step-wise regression – said there are no examples – frustrating from a user standpoint
- Loves Neural Net capability but said Help Menu is lacking (not a lot of good examples – mentioned hidden layers).
