Features
JMP provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools as well as design of experiments and statistical quality control in a single package. It can work with a variety of data formats, such as text files, Microsoft Excel files, SAS datasets, and ODBC-compliant databases.
JMP allows for custom programming and script development via JSL, "JMP Scripting Language". JSL is an interpreted scripting language that is executed at runtime, and provides for manipulating JMP application platform objects in a coherent and coordinated way. JSL is capable of creating complex object-oriented GUI and data visualization toolsets in the JMP application environment. JSL can also be accessed externally via COM (Windows). The use of JSL in the JMP environment can greatly extend the usefulness of JMP in the applied statistics setting.
Starting with JMP version 7, JSL added the ability to submit SAS code to a local or remote SAS session. With JMP version 8, ODS Graphics support was added as well as several regression add-ins that provide JMP user interfaces to selected SAS/Stat or SAS/ETS procedures. With JMP version 9, JSL can also submit and obtain data and results from the R programming language.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
