Launch Window for Multiple Tables, Cross-referenced

Launch Window for Multiple Tables, Cross-Referenced Data Format shows the multiple-table launch window, with the Profile Data outline populated using Potato Chip Profile.jmp.

Launch Window for Multiple Tables, Cross-Referenced Data Format

In the case of Multiple Tables, Cross-referenced, the launch window has three sections:

•

•

•

The profile data table describes the attributes associated with each choice. Each choice can comprise many different attributes, and each attribute is listed as a column in the data table. There is a row for each possible choice, and each possible choice contains a unique ID.

Select Data Table

Select or open the data table that contains the profile data. Select Other to open a file that is not already open.

Profile ID

Identifier for each row of choice combinations. If the Profile ID column does not uniquely identify each row in the profile data table, you need to add Grouping columns. Add Grouping columns until the combination of Grouping and Profile ID columns uniquely identifies the row, or profile.

Grouping

A column which, when used with the Choice Set ID column, uniquely designates each choice set. For example, if Profile ID = 1 for Survey = A, and a different Profile ID = 1 for Survey = B, then Survey would be used as a Grouping column.

Construct Profile Effects

Add effects constructed from the attributes in the profiles.

For information about the Construct Profile Effects panel, see Construct Model Effects in the Fitting Linear Models book.

Firth Bias-adjusted Estimates

Computes bias-corrected MLEs that produce better estimates and tests than MLEs without bias correction. These estimates also improve separation problems that tend to occur in logistic-type models. Refer to Heinze and Schemper (2002) for a discussion of the separation problem in logistic regression.

Hierarchical Bayes

Uses a Bayesian approach to estimate subject-specific parameters. See Bayesian Parameter Estimates.

Number of Bayesian Iterations

(Applicable only if Hierarchical Bayes is selected.) The total number of iterations of the adaptive Bayes algorithm used to estimate subject effects. This number includes a burn-in period of iterations that are discarded. The number of burn-in iterations is equal to half of the Number of Bayesian Iterations specified on the launch window.

Response Data

Response Data Outline shows the Response Data outline populated using Potato Chip Responses.jmp.

Response Data Outline

The response data table contains the study results. It gives the choice set IDs for each trial as well as the profiles selected as best and worst by the subject. The Response data are linked to the Profile data through the choice set columns and the choice response column. Grouping variables can be used to align choice indices when more than one group is contained within the data.

Select Data Table

Select or open the data table that contains the profile data. Select Other to open a file that is not already open.

Best Choice

The Response table column containing the Profile ID of the profile that the subject designated as Best.

Worst Choice

The Response table column containing the Profile ID of the profile that the subject designated as Worst.

Profile ID Choices

The columns that contain the Profile IDs of the set of possible choices for each choice set.

Grouping

A column which, when used with the Profile ID Chosen column, uniquely designates each choice set.

Subject ID

A unique identifier for the study participant.

Freq

A column containing frequencies. If n is the value of the Freq variable for a given row, then that row is used in computations n times. If it is less than 1 or missing, then JMP does not use it to calculate any analyses.

Weight

A column containing a weight for each observation in the data table. The weight is included in analyses only when its value is greater than zero.

A column whose levels define separate analyses. For each level of the specified column, the corresponding rows are analyzed as a separate analysis on a separate table. The results are presented in separate reports. If more than one By variable is assigned, a separate analysis is produced for each possible combination of the levels of the By variables.

Subject Data

Subject Data Outline shows the Subject Data outline populated using Potato Chip Subjects.jmp.

Subject Data Outline

Note: A subject data table is optional, depending on whether subject effects are to be modeled.

The subject data table contains the Subject ID and one or more columns of attributes or characteristics for each subject. The subject data table contains the same number of rows as subjects and has an identifier column that matches a similar column in the Response data table.

Note: You can include subject data in the response data table, but you need to specify subject effects in the Subject Data outline.

Select Data Table

Select or open the data table that contains the subject data. Select Other to open a file that is not already open.

Subject ID

Unique identifier for the subject.

Construct Model Effects

Add effects constructed from columns in the subject data table.

For information about the Construct Model Effects panel, see Construct Model Effects in the Fitting Linear Models book.
