Standard Price: $1000
Conference Attendee Price: $750 (750 JMP Training Points / 1.8 EPTO)
Course Description: This course demonstrates how to extend JMP software's functionality using the JMP Scripting Language (JSL) to automate routine procedures, extend or create new procedures, and customize reports.
Learn how to:
- Use the basic elements in JSL
- Use messages, functions, and expressions to create new data tables and columns, control analyses, and capture or modify reports
- Create and use dialogs to adapt script behavior
- Save JMP scripts as JMP add-Ins to automate routine analyses and reporting and facilitate script deployment
Before attending this course, it is recommended you complete the JMP Software: A Case Study Approach to Data Exploration course or have equivalent experience.

Conference Attendee Price: $975 (975 JMP Training Points / 2.4 EPTO)
Course Description: This course teaches how to analyze data with a single continuous response variable using analysis of variance and regression methods. You learn how to perform elementary exploratory data analysis (EDA) and discover natural patterns in data. Important statistical concepts such as confidence intervals are also introduced.
Learn how to:
- Compare two means using a t-test
- Generate and interpret an analysis of variance to compare more than two means
- Analyze relationships between continuous variables using simple and multiple linear regression models
