How can I Fit y by x, with 2 By groups, to display in rows with By as columns?I have one x and multiple y. I have only 2 By groups, although I could have more and I think this question would be valid. I would like to display the y by x in columns with the By groups as columns.
After creating the plots using Fit y by x, if I choose "Arrange in rows" = 2, the default display will place all By group 1 first, then By group 2, etc. I'd like to visually observe how y1 responds to x within By group 1 side-by-side with By group 2. To plot both By groups on the same y by x, or using Graph Builder, is too messy.
Can I teach the "Arrange in rows" feature to place the By groups in parallel columns? I looked in Preferences and couldn't find a way to do it. Thanks.
Basic Data Analysis and ModelingData Exploration and VisualizationRe: How can I Fit y by x, with 2 By groups, to display in rows with By as columns?Here is a simple method to align the output. It does assume that there are data at each x and y combination

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp" );
nw = New Window( "Output",
Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ),
bivariate(
y( :height ),
x( :weight ),
by( :age,:sex )
)
)
);
Re: How can I Fit y by x, with 2 By groups, to display in rows with By as columns?Thanks Jim. I'm less than a novice coder. My code results in a blank page. X and Y are continuous; By (material) is categorical. All variable names are sanitized. Thanks in advance for your help.
Fit Group(
Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ),
Bivariate(
Y( :"delP/delQ"n ),

Fit Group(
with
nw = New Window( "Output",
the results will be displayed in your 2 columns

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp" );
nw = New Window( "Output",
Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ),
Bivariate(
Y( :weight ),
X( :age ),
By( :sex ),
Fit Line( {Line Color( {212, 73, 88} )} )
),
Bivariate(
Y( :height ),
X( :age ),
By( :sex ),
Fit Line( {Line Color( {212, 73, 88} )} )
)
)
)
