The red triangle menus next to each variable in the Distributions report contain additional options that apply to the variable. This section describes the options that are available for categorical (nominal or ordinal) variables.
Display Options
Contains the following options to change the display of the report.
Frequencies
Shows or hides the Frequencies report. See The Frequencies Report.
Horizontal Layout
Changes the orientation of the histogram and the reports to vertical or horizontal.
Axes on Left
(Available only when the Horizontal Layout option is selected.) Moves the Count, Prob, and Density axes to the left side of the histogram instead of the right side.
Histogram Options
See Histogram Options for Categorical Variables.
Mosaic Plot
Displays a mosaic bar chart for each nominal or ordinal response variable. A mosaic plot is a stacked bar chart where each segment is proportional to its group’s frequency count.
Order By
Reorders the histogram, mosaic plot, and Frequencies report in ascending or descending order, by count. To save the new order as a column property, use the Save > Value Ordering option.
Test Probabilities
Shows a report that tests hypothesized probabilities. See Example of Testing Probabilities for Two Levels and Example of Testing Probabilities for More Than Two Levels.
Confidence Interval
This menu contains confidence levels. Select a value that is listed, or select Other to enter your own. JMP computes score confidence intervals.
Save
See Save Options for Categorical Variables.
Remove
Permanently removes the variable and all its reports from the Distribution report.
Histogram
Shows or hides the histogram. See Histograms.
Vertical
Changes the orientation of the histogram from a vertical to a horizontal orientation.
Std Error Bars
Draws the standard error bar on each level of the histogram.
Separate Bars
Separates the histogram bars.
Histogram Color
Changes the color of the histogram bars.
Count Axis
Adds an axis that shows the frequency of column values represented by the histogram bars.
Prob Axis
Adds an axis that shows the proportion of column values represented by histogram bars.
Density Axis
Adds an axis that shows the length of the bars in the histogram.
The count and probability axes are based on the following calculations:
prob = (bar width)*density
count = (bar width)*density*(total count)
Show Percents
Labels the percent of column values represented by each histogram bar.
Note: To specify the number of decimal places, right-click the histogram and select Customize > Histogram.
Show Counts
Labels the frequency of column values represented by each histogram bar.
Level Numbers
Creates a new column in the data table called Level <colname>. The level number of each observation corresponds to the histogram bar that contains the observation.
Value Ordering
(Use with the Order By option) Creates a new value ordering column property in the data table, reflecting the new order.
Script to Log
Displays the script commands to generate the current report in the log window. Select View > Log to see the log window.
