response. You interact with the prediction profiler; as you vary the value of an x variable, the prediction
profiler recomputes:
• The low and high values show on the x-axis for each factor, showing its current value.
• The current predicted value of each y variable for the current values of the x variables.
• Lines and markers within the prediction plots show how the predicted value changes when you
change the current value of an individual x variable and include the 95% confidence interval for the
predicted values shown by error bars above and below each marker.
Prediction profiles are useful in multiple-response models to help judge which factor values can
optimize a complex set of criteria. See the JMP Statistics and Graphics Guide for details.
Contour Profiler
The Contour Profiler command works the same as the Profiler command. It is usually accessed from
the Fit Model platform when a model has multiple response. However, if you then save the prediction
formulas for the responses, you can access the Contour Profiler at a later time from the Graph menu
and specify the columns with the prediction equations as the response columns. See the JMP Statistics
and Graphics Guide for examples of the Profiler and the Contour Profiler.
Surface Plot
The Surface Plot command plots surfaces and points in three dimensions based on formulas or data.
The JMP Statistics and Graphics Guide describes the Surface Plot in detail and shows examples.
Custom Profiler
The Custom Profiler command is available for tables with columns whose values are computed from
model prediction formulas. The Custom Profiler is useful in multiple-response models to help judge
which factor values can optimize a complex set of criteria. The JMP Statistics and Graphics Guide
describes the Custom Profiler in detail and shows examples.
The Tools Menu
The Tools menu are palettes of special tools whose form the cursor can take. There are general tools
and specific graphics tools that operate on points in plots. The default tool is the arrow. Click a tool in
the Tools menu to activate it.
Arrow
The cursor is the standard arrow when it is in the panels area to the left of the data table, in the
triangular rows and columns area in the upper left corner of the data grid, or on the title bar of the
tables panel. Also, click and drag with the arrow to select points in plots. Outside of plots, click and
drag to draw a temporary line. When you release, the line disappears.
