JMP (pronounced "jump") is a computer program for statistics developed by the JMP business unit of SAS Institute. It was created in the 1980s to take advantage of the graphical user interface introduced by the Macintosh. It has since been improved and made available for the Windows operating system. JMP is used in applications such as Six Sigma, quality control and engineering, design of experiments and scientific research. The software consists of five products: JMP, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, JMP Genomics and the JMP Graph Builder App for the iPad; a scripting language is also available. The software is focused on exploratory analytics, whereby users investigate and explore data, rather than to confirm a hypothesis. ==History== JMP was developed in the 1980s by John Sall and a team of developers to make use of the graphical user interface introduced by the 1984 Apple Macintosh. It originally stood for “John’s Macintosh Program” and was first released in October 1989.〔 It was used mostly by scientists and engineers for design of experiments (DOE), quality and productivity support (Six Sigma), and reliability modeling. Semiconductor manufacturers were also among JMP’s early adopters.〔 Interactive graphics and other features were added in 1991 with version 2.0. Version 2 was twice the size as the original, though it was still delivered on a floppy disk. It required 2 MB of memory and came with 700 pages of documentation. Support for Microsoft Windows was added in 1994.〔 JMP was re-written with version 3 in 1999. Version 4, released in 2002, could import data from a wider variety of data sources and added support for surface plots.〔 Version 4 also added time series forecasting and new smoothing models, such as the seasonal smoothing method, called Winter's Method, and the ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average). In 2005 data mining tools like a decision tree and neural net were added with version 5 as well as Linux support, which was later withdrawn starting with JMP 9.〔 Later that year JMP 6 was introduced. JMP began integrating with SAS with version 7.0 in 2007 and more so with every version since. JMP was made so users could write SAS code in JMP, connect to SAS servers, and retrieve and use data from SAS. Support for bubble plots was added in version 7.〔〔 JMP 7 also improved data visualization and diagnostics. JMP 8 was released in 2009 with new drag-and-drop features and a 64-bit version to take advantage of advances in the Mac operating system. It also added a new user interface for building graphs, tools for choice experiments and support for Life Distribution. According to ''Scientific Computing'', the software had improvements in "graphics, QA, ease-of-use, SAS integration and data management areas." JMP 9 in 2010 added a new interface for using the R programming language from JMP and an add-in for Excel. The main screen was rebuilt and enhancements were made to simulations, graphics and a new Degradation platform. In March 2012, version 10 made improvements in data mining, predictive analytics, and automated model building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JMP (statistical software)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
