JMP provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools... This is advertising language and should not be used on wikipedia. --ondra (talk) 07:31, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * So noted. Thanks for bringing it up on TALK and not starting an 'edit war' in the Article. Do you have alternative language? Are you familiar with JMP software? Thanks Again, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:47, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Version 10 is released March 20, 2012
You can preview and view details and discussion of the new version at http://jmp.com/. . . Check it out, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:44, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Version 11 is released September 9, 2013
You can preview and view details and discussion of the new version at http://jmp.com/. . . Check it out; great new content, including an additional Design of Experiments platform called Definitive Screening Design. John Sall waited a few minutes until 11am saying 11 was coming (San Antonio, JMP Discovery Summit 2013). — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Here we are, a year later, and the next JMP Discovery Summit has been announce for September 15, 2014, in Cary NC (SAS Institute 'campus'). Currently, as users, we are here at the annual http://www.PharmaSUG.org conference in San Diego, enjoying some JMP presentions, poster papers, and a panel discussion. The main paper is by Kelsi Mclaus on JMP Clinical. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 05:32, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Restructuring the JMP article for Version 10
With the release of Version 10 (FYI) there are now four JMP packages (sold separately) These new vertical market packages also interface with the basic SAS package. Does anyone on the JMP team watch this page? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * JMP Version 10
 * JMP Pro (for data mining and massive datasets)
 * JMP Clinical Trials
 * JMP Genomics

Request edit
Hi All. On behalf of JMP I would like to offer a proposed re-work of the article, which is substantially less promotional, more complete and has more sources, as well as screenshots provided by JMP. Our hope is to bring the article up to GA (Good Article) status, so this is more or less a first draft.

 * Did some rewording and rearranging, dropped an image entirely, but seemed like an overall improvement. Thanks, Corporate.  -- No  unique  names  15:11, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks good! Nice way to merge the really short Business section. I thought you might drop one of the images. Charles and DGG may have edits as well, but I'll circle back after the article is settled, get a logo on a transparent background, see if we can reduce promotionalism further and take another look at the lead before submitting for peer review in preparation for GA. CorporateM (Talk) 15:37, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * (i) Since you suggested the lede was too long, I did some copyedits. (i) The detail that Linux is available but unsupported doesn't belong in the lede--I moved it, but it needs dates & version numbers. (ii)To avoid confusion, when you mean the JMP business unit,  you need to use the phrase "JMP business unit" or equivalent,  not JMP. (iii)I cut down on the infobox "type" listing. Consider a separate application listing, but having more than 2 or 3 terms here always sounds  promotional to me. (iv) Herzenberg developed FACS, & I gave a link, but there should be a date and a better ref for this from a scientific source, not a magazine listing without a link, date, or page numbers. (v) I removed Wake Forest. Mentioning this one perfectly routine academic program implies either that this is the only such program in the world, or that it's a especially prominent example; in either very unlikely case you need better refs for it than a small town paper. (vi) I reworded your two exotic examples to show they're exotic. They, unlike Wake Forest, are appropriate to include as particularly interesting.
 * Still missing: (a)   an explicit statement of how it related to SAS software. Is it a front end for processing SAS data, or a simpler and cheaper version? Avoid words like "functionality." Your phrase for the clinical and genomics modules "combine both SAS and JMP functionality" is too concise to be meaningful. Perhaps,  combine the ___ of JMP with the __ of SAS    (b) a fuller version history, including version numbers as well as dates.  That's not promotional--its a basic part of our articles on important software.  DGG ( talk ) 17:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll go through this feedback closely for a second draft. Some of the specific versions have less strong sourcing available, but we can use conference papers, release notes and some niche sources to pull together a complete version history if this is acceptable. For example, this conference paper has the JMP 10 release date. I noticed a familiar name on it. CorporateM (Talk) 02:19, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

In the current version, the composite graphic 'Screenshot of different data displays in JMP' seems critical for graphical statistics. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 16:51, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Second draft
I've prepared a second draft of the article for consideration, which incorporates the feedback we received on the first draft (currently in article-space); primarily the Applications section is much smaller, while the History is much larger and more information on the relationship between SAS and JMP was added. Some of the sources for its version history are niche, but perhaps good sources for this particular subject? Trying to do our best to fill in the version history as suggested and welcome any thoughts. I appreciate your time and consideration of our draft located here. CorporateM (Talk) 14:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * My understanding about this particular software is limited, but the edit so far seems to be carefully cited, non-controversial & non-promotional, albeit there are a few instances where it can be phrased better (but those are non-blocker in this case). Although, I would suggest not replacing the current texts with the requested edits; rather do a conscious hand editing updating only the sections which are in need. — Deb ‖ Poke • Edits ‖ 23:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * ✅ I'd like to bring it up to GA eventually. Do you mind me asking where you identified opportunities for improvement? I would be eager to correct them. Thanks again for your review and second pair of eyes. CorporateM (Talk) 00:41, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

JMP
We previously removed File:Wildtrack_FIT_JMP.png from the Notable Applications section, because the article had too many images. Now that the article has been substantially expanded text-wise, it seemed like it might be a good image to put back in. Images are covered as non-controversial edits under WP:COI, but I have seen cases where too many images can be promotional, so I'd love a second opinion. CorporateM (Talk) 15:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As per request on my talk page, I've added it for now to keep the image - as it is non-free. I will leave the request edit open for editors more familiar with this article to decide if keeping it is OK with them, and fully satifies the NFCC. I note the image is already tagged as too big, and if no one else reduces it, I will (at home) tonight.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 14:40, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and halved the resolution. CorporateM (Talk) 16:57, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It has now been more than three months, so I'm going to just go ahead and close the Request Edit. Though anyone that comes to this page and sees the discussion is welcome to re-asses. CorporateM (Talk) 23:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I like the images! A picture is worth a thousand words. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 18:11, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

The second external list ("JMP mailing list") isn't working today; it says, "You don't have permission to access /archives/html/jmp-l/ on this server." — FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 18:11, 16 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The article is a little heavy on the External links already and I couldn't find an alternative, working link. Might be best to take that one out. CorporateM (Talk) 23:37, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Version 11, 12, 13
A version history is usually a pretty substantial focus of software pages and in that regard I haven't updated the page in a couple years or so. updated the infobox with the latest version, but version 11 and 12 aren't represented in the article's body. I'd like to suggest adding a couple sentences to the end of the History section summarizing Scientific Computing's description of version 11 & 12.


 * Version 11 was released in late 2014. It included new ease-of-use features, an Excel import wizard, advanced features for Design of Experiments and other improvements. Two years later, version 12.0 was introduced. According to Scientific Computing, it added a new "Modeling Utilities" submenu of tools, performance improvements and new technical features for statistical analysis. Version 13.0 was released in September 2016 and introduced various improvements to reporting, ease-of-use and its handling of large data sets in memory.

Requested updates
My name is Arati Mejdal and I work for JMP. I'd like to propose a three updates to the page as follows:

(1) Add latest updates to the end of the "History" section  Add: JMP released new structural equation modeling software in the 2020s in version 15.2. In March 2021, JMP introduced version 16 of JMP software, which improved structural equation modeling and added features to help determine the best model to use for the data being analyzed. 

(2) Revise first sentence of "Software" section  Change as follows: JMP consists of JMP, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical and JMP Genomics,[24] as well as the Graph Builder iPad App. '''and JMP Live. ''' Reason: The iPad App is being removed from the App store; JMP Live is a core product.

(3) Add R and Python connections to the end of the second paragraph of the "Software" section  JMP can be used in conjunction with the R and Python open source programming languages to access features not yet available in JMP itself. 

References

Thank you in advance for your time and attention considering my proposed changes as an impartial editor. Let me know if there is any way I can be of assistance. Arati Mejdal (talk) 18:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I apologize for the extreme delay. I made the suggested edits with the following changes: included the iPad app was formerly part of JMP, in order to preserve the history of the product; and removed the word 'yet' from the section on using Python and R, as Wikipedia doesn't generally speculate in pages. Anyone can feel free to edit my edits. Brirush (talk) 17:31, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your time and consideration. The first sentence of the second paragraph in the Lead also references the now-defunct iPad product. Do you mind if I also make the same edit there that you made in the Software section to show it is no longer offered? Specifically, I want to make this change: The software can be purchased in any of five configurations: JMP, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, JMP Genomics and JMP Live the JMP Graph Builder App for the iPad . It formerly included the Graph Builder iPad App.Arati Mejdal (talk) 13:37, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is just fine. Brirush (talk) 16:00, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
