Model Specification Options

The red triangle menu next to Model Specification includes the following options:

Center Polynomials

Centers by its mean any continuous term that is involved in an effect with a degree greater than one. This option is checked by default, except when a term involved in the effect is assigned the Mixture Effect attribute or has the Mixture column property. Terms with the Coding column property are centered midway between their specified High and Low values.

Centering is useful in making regression coefficients more interpretable and in reducing collinearity between model effects.

Informative Missing

Provides a coding system for missing values. This system allows estimation of a predictive model despite the presence of missing values. It is useful in situations where missing data are informative. See Informative Missing for more details.

This option is available for the following personalities: Standard Least Squares, Stepwise, Generalized Regression, MANOVA, Loglinear Variance, Nominal Logistic, Ordinal Logistic, Proportional Hazard, Parametric Survival, Generalized Linear Model, and Response Screening.

Set Alpha Level

Sets the alpha level for confidence intervals in the Fit Model analysis. The default alpha level is 0.05.

Save to Data Table

Saves your Fit Model launch window specifications as a script that is attached to the data table. The script is named Model. When a table contains a script called Model, this script automatically populates the launch window when you select Analyze > Fit Model. (Simply rename the script if this is not desirable.)

For details about JSL scripting, see the Scripting Guide.

Save to Script Window

Copies your Fit Model launch window specifications to a script window. You can save the script window and re-create the model at any time by running the script.

Creates a SAS program that can re-create the current analysis and data table in SAS in a script window. Once created, you have several options for submitting the code to SAS.

1.

Copy and paste the code into the SAS Program Editor. This method is useful if you are running an older version of SAS (pre-version 8.2).

2.

Select Edit > Submit to SAS.

3.

Save the file and double-click it to open it in a local copy of SAS. This method is useful if you would like to take advantage of SAS ODS options, such as generating HTML or PDF output from the SAS code.

See the Submit SAS Code in the Using JMP book.

Submits code to SAS and displays the results in JMP. If you are not connected to a SAS server, prompts guide you through the connection process.

See the Submit SAS Code in the Using JMP book.

Convergence Settings

The Convergence Settings menu contains the following options:

Maximum Iterations

Specifies the maximum number of iterations that are used in the model fitting. By default, the maximum number of iterations is 100. If your model does not readily converge, you might want to increase the number of iterations. If you have a very large data set or a complicated model, you might want to limit the number of iterations.

Convergence Limit

Specifies the convergence limit for the model fitting. If you model does not readily converge, you might want to increase the convergence limit. By default, the convergence limit is 0.00000001.

Note: The Convergence Settings menu appears only for certain personalities. In the Standard Least Squares personality, the Convergence Settings menu appears only when there is a random effect and REML is selected as the Method in the launch window.
