JSL for Conditional Distribution (Or other platforms)

abdulj

Hi

I'm looking for a way that I can script a distribution, but the number of Y's I would want to analyze at once is dependent on user input. Sometimes it's only one column, and other times it might be 5. This is a part of a bigger script which is why i'm attempting to program it.

Ideally I would like something like this..... but the number of "Continuous Distribution" blocks is variable depending on user input.

Distribution(

  Continuous Distribution(

  column(12),

  Quantiles( 0 ),

  Vertical( 0 ),

  Outlier Box Plot( 0 ),

  Customize Summary Statistics( Minimum( 1 ), Maximum( 1 ) )

  ),

  Continuous Distribution(

  column(13),

  Quantiles( 0 ),

  Vertical( 0 ),

  Outlier Box Plot( 0 ),

  Customize Summary Statistics( Minimum( 1 ), Maximum( 1 ) )

  ),

);

I tried saving it to an Expr() and evaluating it, but that didn't work out.

Any help is appreciated

Distribution() accepts a list of columns as argument. The example below uses a column dialog to get user input. But any list of columns would work.

Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

coldlg = Column Dialog( cols = ColList( "Variables", DataType( Numeric ) ) );

dist = Distribution(

  Column( coldlg["cols"] ),// Exctract list of columns from coldlg

  Quantiles( 0 ),

  Vertical( 0 ),

  Outlier Box Plot( 0 ),

  Customize Summary Statistics( Minimum( 1 ), Maximum( 1 ) )

);
