Powerful tool to quickly perform basic and complex statistical analysis
Pros
- JMP Pro does have a lot of features and functionalities that other similar software do not provide. No prior coding experience is needed since JMP pro offers basic and complex analyses by just clicking.
- The interface is intuitive. You can see how your results change in a plot by simply looking at the parameters in JMP Pro. You do not need to export the updated results to excel to plot again.
- A tremendous amount of very good tutorials available for beginners.
- Datasets saved as csv, xlsx, dat can be easily pulled into JMP Pro.
Cons
- JMP Pro is a really powerful tool for doing statistical analysis. Although the click environment does not require coding experience, new learners will still need to take a long time to know the parameters in the function before performing any analysis.
- The output from JMP Pro analysis (regression analysis) is not always easy to understand, especially when the parameters are programmed differently with the other similar software.
Return on Investment
- It helped me put together meteorological data from different locations to show which area is the optimal location for wind energy.
