Coding
The Coding column property applies only to columns with a numeric data type. It applies a linear transformation to the data in the column. In the Coding column property window, you specify a Low Value and a High Value. The Low Value and High Value in your original data are transformed to –1 and +1. JMP uses the transformed data values whenever the column is entered as a model effect in the Fit Model platform.
The coding property is useful for the following reasons:
•
Coded predictors lead to parameter estimates that are more easily interpreted and compared.
•
Coded predictors help reduce multicollinearity in models with interaction and higher-order terms.
When any DOE platform other than Accelerated Life Test Design creates a design, JMP defines a Coding column property for each non-mixture factor with a numeric data type. Figure A.12 shows the Coding column property panel for the column Feed Rate in the Reactor 20 Custom.jmp sample data table, found in the Design Experiment folder.
