Multivariate Platform Options

Correlations Multivariate	Shows or hides the Correlations table, which is a matrix of correlation coefficients that summarizes the strength of the linear relationships between each pair of response (Y) variables. This option is on by default. See Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. This correlation matrix is calculated by the method that you select in the launch window.
Correlation Probability	Shows the Correlation Probability report, which is a matrix of p-values. Each p-value corresponds to a test of the null hypothesis that the true correlation between the variables is zero. This is a test of no linear relationship between the two response variables.
CI of Correlation	Shows the two-tailed confidence intervals of the correlations. This option is off by default. The default confidence coefficient is 95%. Use the Set α Level option to change the confidence coefficient.
Inverse Correlations	Shows or hides the inverse correlation matrix (Inverse Corr table). This option is off by default. The diagonal elements of the matrix are a function of how closely the variable is a linear function of the other variables. In the inverse correlation, the diagonal is 1/(1 – R2) for the fit of that variable by all the other variables. If the multiple correlation is zero, the diagonal inverse element is 1. If the multiple correlation is 1, then the inverse element becomes infinite and is reported missing. For statistical details about inverse correlations, see the Inverse Correlation Matrix.
Partial Correlations	Shows or hides the partial correlation table (Partial Corr), which shows the measure of the relationship between a pair of variables after adjusting for the effects of all the other variables. This option is off by default. This table is the negative of the inverse correlation matrix, scaled to unit diagonal. This means that the matrix is scaled such that the diagonal elements are equal to one.
Covariance Matrix	Shows or hides the covariance matrix which measures the degree to which a pair of variables change together. This option is off by default.
Pairwise Correlations	Shows or hides the Pairwise Correlations table, which lists the Pearson product-moment correlations for each pair of Y variables. This option is off by default. The correlations are calculated by the pairwise deletion method. The count values differ if any pair has a missing value for either variable. The Pairwise Correlations report also shows significance probabilities and compares the correlations in a bar chart. All results are based on the pairwise method.
Hotelling’s T2 Test	Allows you to conduct a one-sample test for the mean of the multivariate distribution of the variables that you entered as Y. Specify the mean vector under the null hypothesis in the window that appears by entering a hypothesized mean for each variable. The test assumes multivariate normality of the Y variables. The Hotelling’s T2 Test report gives the following: Variable Lists the variables entered as Y. Mean Gives the sample mean for each variable. Hypothesized Mean Shows the null hypothesis means that you specified. Test Statistic Gives the value of Hotelling’s T2 statistic. F Ratio Gives the value of the test statistic. If you have n rows and k variables, the F ratio is given as follows: Prob > F The p-value for the test. Under the null hypothesis the F ratio has an F distribution with n and n - k degrees of freedom.
Simple Statistics	This menu contains two options that each show or hide simple statistics (mean, standard deviation, and so on) for each column. The univariate and multivariate simple statistics can differ when there are missing values present, or when the Robust method is used. Univariate Simple Statistics Shows statistics that are calculated on each column, regardless of values in other columns. These values match those produced by the Distribution platform. Multivariate Simple Statistics Shows statistics that correspond to the estimation method selected in the launch window and the presence or absence of missing data. If there are no missing observations, this option is available only for the Robust method. If there are missing observations, this option is available for all estimation methods except for Pairwise. The option is never available for Pairwise. For the REML, ML, or Robust methods, the mean vector and covariance matrix are estimated by the selected method. For the Row-wise method, all rows with at least one missing value are excluded from the calculation of means and variances. These options are off by default.
Nonparametric Correlations	This menu contains three nonparametric measures: Spearman’s Rho, Kendall’s Tau, and Hoeffding’s D. These options are off by default. For details, see Nonparametric Correlations.
Set α Level	You can specify any alpha value for the correlation confidence intervals. Four alpha values are listed: 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50. Select Other to enter any other value.
Scatterplot Matrix	Shows or hides a scatterplot matrix of each pair of response variables. This option is on by default. For details, see Scatterplot Matrix.
Color Maps	The Color Map menu contains three types of color maps. Color Map On Correlations Produces a cell plot that shows the correlations among variables on a scale from red (+1) to blue (-1). Color Map On p-values Produces a cell plot that shows the significance of the correlations on a scale from p = 0 (red) to p = 1 (blue). Cluster the Correlations Produces a cell plot that clusters together similar variables. The correlations are the same as for Color Map on Correlations, but the positioning of the variables may be different. These options are off by default.
Parallel Coord Plot	Shows or hides a parallel coordinate plot of the variables. This option is off by default.
Ellipsoid 3D Plot	Shows or hides a three-dimensional scatterplot with a 95% confidence ellipsoid. You are prompted to specify the three variables when you select this option. This option is off by default.
Principal Components	This menu contains options to show or hide a principal components report. You can select correlations, covariances, or unscaled. Selecting one of these options when another of the reports is shown changes the report to the new option. Select None to remove the report. This option is off by default. Principal components is a technique to take linear combinations of the original variables. The first principal component has maximum variation, the second principal component has the next most variation, subject to being orthogonal to the first, and so on. For details, see the chapter Principal Components.
Outlier Analysis	This menu contains options that show or hide plots that measure distance in the multivariate sense using one of these methods: the Mahalanobis distance, jackknife distances, and the T2 statistic. For details, see Outlier Analysis.
Item Reliability	This menu contains options that each shows or hides an item reliability report. The reports indicate how consistently a set of instruments measures an overall response, using either Cronbach’s α or standardized α. These options are off by default. For details, see Item Reliability.
Impute Missing Data	Produces a new data table that duplicates your data table and replaces all missing values with estimated values. This option is available only if your data table contains missing values. For details, see Impute Missing Data.
Save Imputed Formula	For columns that contain missing values, saves new columns to the data table that contain the formulas used to estimate the missing values. The new columns are called Imputed_<Column Name>.

See Local Data Filter, Redo Menus, and Save Script Menus in the Using JMP book for more information about the following options:

Local Data Filter

Shows or hides the local data filter that enables you to filter the data used in a specific report.

Redo

Contains options that enable you to repeat or relaunch the analysis. In platforms that support the feature, the Automatic Recalc option immediately reflects the changes that you make to the data table in the corresponding report window.

Save Script

Contains options that enable you to save a script that reproduces the report to several destinations.

Save By-Group Script

Contains options that enable you to save a script that reproduces the platform report for all levels of a By variable to several destinations. Available only when a By variable is specified in the launch window.
