What inspired this wish list request?
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Why is this idea important?
Hi @Lu , agree!
Please have a look at Please synchronize Summary Statistics (Tables/Summary - Tabulate - Graph Builder Summary Statistics - Distribution - Header Statistics) , same idea.
I didn't mention the Col ...() aggregations explicitly, but yes, they should be in the list as well !
Many of the statistics functions are just available via some of the statistics platforms - and not available via others.
One of the most important statistics which was not available as Col ... () up to now: Counting Categories!
compare: Tables/Summary
Fortunately, it will come with JMP19 : Col N Categories
Besides that, Transform Columns - as comfortable as Summary Statistics? (:green_heart:) is a tremendous improvement for all platforms!
The new scoping framework provides on-the-fly grouped statistics for GraphBuilder - based on the power of Col ...() aggregations.
Even better: For Grouped Statistics, JMP19 has a another great improvement:
JMP19 comes with a Fast Way to calculate "nested" Col ... aggregations - like MAD .
So, if you know the function behind the aggregation, you can set it up manually by combining existing Col... ( ) aggregations.
And even if nesting is required - like it is for MAD, Skewness, Kurtosis , it will be orders of magnitude faster than before : )
Amidst all this excitement, I have to agree. This approach is just for experts who are willing to set up the aggregation manually.
However, for the standard JMP user who wants to calculate Col Skewness() — just as they would with Col Mean() — it doesn't help.
There's still a lot to do to synchronize the different statistics platforms in JMP!
Thank you for submitting this request! It has been reviewed and we will let you know if there are any changes to the status.
