Inputting a data range and "increment by" into a user input box

shampton82

Hello everyone,

I am looking at putting in a wish list item but wanted to get some added input from the user community.  I was thinking it would be great to add to the Prediction and Tolerance interval Platforms the ability to put in a range and an increment by value into the input box so you wouldn't have to enter each scenario you are interested in one by one. 

 

For example, if I wanted to see what the tolerance interval looked like for 70, 80, and 90 Portion to cover I could input something like 70:90/10

I believe there is syntax in JSL already to do this so might just copy what that looks like as the input.

 

So the question is: is there already a way to do this outside JSL that I am just missing.

 

I also don't think that this should be limited functionality to the Tolerance and Prediction analysis but that was the genesis of my wish list idea.

 

Thanks for any input!

Steve

I think you just have to decide the pattern you would allow and then parse it accordingly

Names Default To Here(1);

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
obj = dt << Distribution(Column(:Height));

pattern_check = "\d+:\d+/\d+";
loop_pattern = "70:90/10";

If(IsMissing(Regex(loop_pattern, pattern_check)),
	Throw("Incorrect pattern (" || loop_pattern || ")");
);

minval = Num(Word(1, loop_pattern, ":"));
maxval = Num(Word(2, loop_pattern, ":/"));
inc = Num(Word(-1, loop_pattern, "/"));

increments = Index(minval, maxval, inc);

For Each({increment}, increments,
	obj << Tolerance Interval(Alpha(0.95), Proportion(increment/100));
	wait(0.5); // for demo purposes
);

show(minval, maxval, inc, increments);
