Statistical Functions

Arc Finder(X(col), Y(col), Group(lot, wafer))

Description

Finds arcs in the point data and creates a new column that identifies the arcs.

Example

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Wafer Stacked.jmp" );
Arc Finder(
	Group( :Lot, :Wafer ),
	X( :X_Die ),
	Y( :Y_Die ),
	Min Distance( 12 ), // minimum distance among 3 points to seed an arc
	Min Radius( 15 ), // minimum radius of the acceptable arc
	Max Radius( 2000 ), // maximum radius of acceptable arc
	Max Radius Error( 2 ), // how close a point needs to be added
	Min Arc Points( 5 ), // how many points to define an arc
	Number of Searches( 500 ), // how many random probes of data
	Max Number Arcs( 3 ) // number of arcs searched for
);
dt << Color or Mark by Column( :Arc Number );
dt << Graph Builder(
	Size( 1539, 921 ),
	Variables( X( :X_Die ), Y( :Y_Die ), Wrap( :Lot_Wafer Label ), Color( :Arc Number ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ) )

Notes

The function is scaled for data that have a range of 30 to 50 units.

The function is suitable only for data that are subset to the interesting defect points.

It is not suitable when the density of points is high.

Col Rank(column, <ByVar, ...>, <<tie("average"|"arbitrary"|"row"|"minimum"))

Description

Ranks each row’s value, from 1 for the lowest value to the number of columns for the highest value. Ties are broken arbitrarily.

Arguments

column

The column to be ranked.

ByVar

(Optional) A By variable to compute statistics across groups of rows.

<<tie

Determines how the tie is broken. A tie occurs when the values being ranked are the same. For the data [33 55 77 55], 33 has rank 1 and 77 has rank 4, and the question is how to assign ranking for the 55s. average reports the average of the possible rankings, 2.5, for both 55s. arbitrary matches JMP 12 behavior by assigning the possible rankings in an unspecified order, which could be 2 and 3 or 3 and 2. row assigns the ranks in the order that they originally appear. (The first 55 would be 2 and the second 55 would be 3.)

minimum gives both values the lowest possible rank, 2.

Notes

Notes

The predicted value for row t is given by the following:

Predicted[t] = alpha * Observed[t-1] + (1-alpha) * Predicted[t-1]

By definition, Predicted[1] = Observed[1].

Col Standardize(name,<By var, ...>)

Description

Calculates the column mean divided by the standard deviation across all rows of the specified column.

Returns

The standardized mean.

Argument

name

A column name.

By var

(Optional) A By variable to compute statistics across groups of rows. If a By variable is specified, the values are standardized against the mean and standard deviation of their corresponding By variable group.

Notes

Standardizing centers the variable by its sample standard deviation. Thus, the following commands are equivalent:

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt << New Column( "stdht", Formula( Col Standardize( height ) ) );
dt << New Column( "stdht2",
	Formula( (height - Col Mean( height )) / Col Std Dev( height ) )
);

Notes

If a data value is assigned by a column property (such as Missing Value Codes), use Col Stored Value() to base the calculation on the value stored in the column instead.
