Data visualization with JMP

Facilitator: Dr. Harold Dyck, Department of Information SciencesBring Your Own Laptop (BYOL) with JMP installed. This workshop starts with basic concepts such as histograms, bar charts, scatterplots, box plots, overlay plots, variability charts and Graph Builder. We will look at contour plots, bubble plots, parallel plots, treemaps, ternary plots and learn how to create maps. Finally, time permitting, we will learn how to create heatmaps, perform interactive visualization and learn how to visualize time series forecasts, classifications and unsupervised learning.

JMP is a statistical package produced by SAS. It is highly interactive, visual, intuitive and user friendly. It dynamically links screens of histograms, scatterplots, and other visual representations with each other and the data view. Generally, it is a great tool for both researchers and educators who teach statistics in their classrooms.
