The Oneway Analysis red triangle menu contains testing, fitting, and display options. Options include analysis of variance (ANOVA), nonparametric tests, equivalence tests, and multiple comparisons methods to evaluate differences across groups. Probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) plots enable you to visualize the distribution of your response by the X categories. Options add visualizations to the scatterplot, provide statistical reports, or launches an additional analysis.
When a blocking variable is used, a one-way ANOVA model with blocking is fit to the data. Additional analysis options are limited.
Note: The Fit Group menu appears only if you have specified multiple Y or X variables. Use the Fit Group menu options to arrange reports or order them by RSquare. See “Fit Group Options” in Fitting Linear Models.
The Oneway Analysis red triangle menu contains the following options:
Quantiles
Shows or hides box plots on the Oneway plot and shows or hides a quantile report. See Quantiles Report.
Means/Anova
(Available only when the X variable has more than two levels.) Shows or hides mean diamonds on the Oneway plot and shows or hides an ANOVA report. See Means/Anova/Pooled t Report.
Means/Anova/Pooled t
(Available only when the X variable has exactly two levels.) Shows or hides mean diamonds on the Oneway plot and shows or hides an ANOVA report. The ANOVA report includes a pooled t test report that assumes that the two groups have equal variances.
Means and Std Dev
Shows or hides mean lines, error bars, and standard deviation lines on the Oneway plot and shows or hides a summary statistics table. The standard errors for the means use individual group standard deviations. For more information about these graph elements, see Mean Lines, Error Bars, and Standard Deviation Lines.
t test
(Available only when the X variable has exactly two levels.) Shows or hides a t test report assuming that the variances are not equal. See t Test Report.
Analysis of Means Methods
Contains options for comparing multiple groups using Analysis of Means (ANOM) methods. See Analysis of Means Reports. For more information about ANOM methods, see Nelson et al. (2005).
Note: If you specify a Block variable in the launch window and there are equal counts for each combination of Block and X variable level, the ANOM chart is the only Analysis of Means chart available. If you specify a Block variable in the launch window and there are unequal counts, none of the Analysis of Means options are available.
ANOM
Shows or hides an ANOM decision chart to compare group means to the overall mean. This method assumes that your data are approximately normally distributed. See Example of Analysis of Means.
ANOM with Transformed Ranks
Shows or hides an ANOM with transformed ranks decision chart for a nonparametric comparison of group means. ANOM with Transformed Ranks compares each group’s mean transformed rank to the overall mean transformed rank. The ANOM test applies the usual ANOM procedure and critical values to the transformed observations.
Tip: Use this method if your data are clearly nonnormal and cannot be transformed to normality.
ANOM for Variances
(Available only when the X variable has more than two levels and each group has at least four observations.) Shows or hides an ANOMV decision chart to compare group standard deviations (or variances) to the root mean square error (or mean square error). This method assumes that your data is approximately normally distributed. For more information about the ANOM for Variances test, see Wludyka and Nelson (1997) and Nelson et al. (2005). For an example, see Example of Analysis of Means for Variances.
ANOM for Variances with Levene (ADM)
Shows or hides an ANOMV-LEV decision chart that is robust to non-normality to compare group variances. This method compares the group means of the absolute deviations from the median (ADM) to the overall mean ADM. For more information about the ANOM for Variances with Levene (ADM) test, see Levene (1960) or Brown and Forsythe (1974).
Tip: Use ANOM for Variances with Levene (ADM) if you suspect that your data are not normal and cannot be transformed to normality. ANOM for Variances with Levene (ADM) is robust to outliers and non-normality.
ANOM for Ranges
(Available only for balanced designs and specific group sizes.) Shows or hides an ANOM for Ranges decision chart to compare group ranges to the mean of the group ranges. This is a test for scale differences based on the range as the measure of spread. See Wheeler (2003). See Restrictions for ANOM for Ranges Test.
Compare Means
Contains options for multiple comparisons between specified sets of group means. See Means Comparisons Reports.
Each Pair, Student’s t

Shows or hides a Hsu’s multiple comparison with the best report and shows or hides comparison circles on the Oneway plot.
With Control, Dunnett’s
Shows or hides a Dunnett’s multiple comparison with a control report and shows or hides comparison circles on the Oneway plot.
Tip: You can add a Control Level column property to the factor column to avoid specifying the control group each time you select With Control, Dunnett’s. See Control Level in Using JMP.
Each Pair Stepwise, Newman-Keuls
Shows or hides a Newman-Keuls stepwise paired comparison report. The Newman-Keuls test does not control the familywise error rate.
Nonparametric
Contains options for nonparametric comparisons of group locations. See Nonparametric Test Reports.
Wilcoxon / Kruskal-Wallis Test
Shows or hides one or more tests that are based on Wilcoxon rank scores. The Wilcoxon rank scores are the simple ranks of the data. The Wilcoxon test is the most powerful rank test for errors with logistic distributions.
If the X variable has exactly two levels, the Wilcoxon test is equivalent to the Mann-Whitney test. In this situation, the report contains a table for the Wilcoxon two-sample normal approximation test that uses a 0.5 continuity correction and a table for the Kruskal-Wallis chi-square approximation test that does not use a continuity correction.
If the X variable has more than two levels, the test based on simple ranks is called the Kruskal-Wallis test.
For information about the report, see Wilcoxon Kruskal-Wallis, Median, Friedman Rank, and Van der Waerden Test Reports. For an example, see Example of the Nonparametric Wilcoxon Test.
Median Test
Shows or hides a test based on median rank scores. The median rank scores are either 1 or 0, depending on whether a rank is above or below the median rank. The median test is the most powerful rank test for errors with double-exponential distributions. For information about the report, see Wilcoxon Kruskal-Wallis, Median, Friedman Rank, and Van der Waerden Test Reports.
van der Waerden Test
Shows or hides a test based on Van der Waerden rank scores. The Van der Waerden rank scores are the ranks of the data divided by one plus a score value. The score value is the number of observations transformed to a normal score by applying the inverse of the normal distribution function. The Van der Waerden test is the most powerful rank test for errors with normal distributions. For information about the report, see Wilcoxon Kruskal-Wallis, Median, Friedman Rank, and Van der Waerden Test Reports.
Kolmogorov Smirnov Test
(Available only when the X variable has exactly two levels.) Shows or hides a test based on the empirical distribution function, which tests whether the distribution of the response is the same across the groups. For information about the report, see Kolmogorov-Smirnov Two-Sample Test Report.
Friedman Rank Test
(Available only when a Block variable with an equal number of observations within each block is specified in the launch window.) Shows or hides a test based on Friedman Rank scores. The Friedman Rank scores are the ranks of the data within each level of the blocking variable. The parametric version of this test is a repeated measures ANOVA. For information about the report, see Wilcoxon Kruskal-Wallis, Median, Friedman Rank, and Van der Waerden Test Reports.
Note: The Friedman Rank Test red triangle menu contains an option for the Nemenyi test. This test is a nonparametric version of the Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. When the Friedman Rank Test is statistically significant, use the Nemenyi test to evaluate which pairs of items differs.
Notes:
– For the Wilcoxon, Median, Van der Waerden, and Friedman Rank tests, if the X variable has more than two levels, a chi-square approximation to the one-way test is performed
– If you specify a Block variable in the launch window and there are equal counts for each combination of Block and X variable level, the Friedman Rank Test is the only Nonparametric option available. If you specify a Block variable in the launch window and there are unequal counts, none of the Nonparametric options are available.
Jonckheere Terpstra Test
Shows or hides a trend test of ordered differences among categories. This test is appropriate when the categories have an ordering of interest, such as dosages of a drug. The alternative hypothesis is the ordering of categories.
Exact Test

Kolmogorov Smirnov Exact Test
(Available only when the X variable has exactly two levels.) Shows or hides a test based on the empirical distribution function, which tests whether the distribution of the response is the same across the groups.
Caution: Exact tests might take a long time to compute for large sample sizes. If you cancel an exact test, the corresponding non-exact test report is provided.
Nonparametric Multiple Comparisons
Contains options for nonparametric multiple comparisons of group locations.
Wilcoxon Each Pair
Shows or hides the Wilcoxon test on each pair. This procedure does not control for the overall alpha level. This is the nonparametric version of the Each Pair, Student’s t option found on the Compare Means menu. See Wilcoxon Each Pair, Steel-Dwass All Pairs, and Steel with Control Reports.
Steel-Dwass All Pairs
Shows or hides the Steel-Dwass test on each pair. This is the nonparametric version of the All Pairs, Tukey HSD option found on the Compare Means menu. See Wilcoxon Each Pair, Steel-Dwass All Pairs, and Steel with Control Reports.

Shows or hides the Steel test to compare each level of the grouping variable to a control level. This is the nonparametric version of the With Control, Dunnett’s option found on the Compare Means menu. See Wilcoxon Each Pair, Steel-Dwass All Pairs, and Steel with Control Reports.
Dunn All Pairs for Joint Ranks
Shows or hides a comparison of each pair using the Dunn method. The Dunn method computes ranks for all the data, not just the pair being compared. The reported p-value reflects a Bonferroni adjustment. It is the unadjusted p-value multiplied by the number of comparisons. If the adjusted p-value exceeds 1, it is reported as 1. See Dunn All Pairs for Joint Ranks and Dunn with Control for Joint Ranks Report.
Dunn With Control for Joint Ranks
Shows or hides a comparison of each level of the grouping variable to a control level using the Dunn method. The Dunn method computes ranks for all the data, not just the pair being compared. The reported p-value reflects a Bonferroni adjustment. It is the unadjusted p-value multiplied by the number of comparisons. If the adjusted p-value exceeds 1, it is reported as 1. You can add a Control Level column property to the factor column to avoid specifying the control group each time you select Steel With Control or Dunn With Control for Joint Ranks. See Control Level in Using JMP. See Dunn All Pairs for Joint Ranks and Dunn with Control for Joint Ranks Report.
Note: The choice of a nonparametric test is dependent on your data. For guidance on test selection for a hypothesis about all pairs see Boos and Duan (2021)
