JMP is a computer program that was first developed by John Sall to perform simple and complex statistical analyses. It dynamically links statistics with graphics to interactively explore, understand, and visualize data. This allows you to click on any point in a graph, and see the corresponding data point highlighted in the data table, and other graphs.
The name JMP is derived from "John's MacIntosh Product", as it was originally written for the Mac.[1] According to an issue of the JMP newsletter, "The name JMP was chosen partly to convey the idea of a lively product that jumped. responsively to the user’s wishes."[2]
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 Institute datasets, and ODBC-compliant databases.
JMP is a division of SAS Institute, Inc., the latter being co-founded by John Sall.
