TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- From Pleistocene fossils to infrared technology on a mission to map the surface of a near-Earth asteroid, JMP^® statistical discovery software from SAS is helping scientists, engineers and other data analysts make a difference. In JMP Pro 15, the advanced analytics version of JMP, data scientists have more predictive modeling tools than ever. Both JMP 15 and JMP Pro 15 are launched today, 30 years after the first version of the software was released.

In JMP Pro 15, the advanced analytics version of JMP, data scientists have more predictive modeling tools than ever.

"The higher the volume of data we collect, the greater the chance we will get some signals from them that add value and build knowledge…. It can be complicated to visualize. I really like JMP for this, especially Graph Builder, which is very practical and efficient," said Augustin Cathignol, Principal Engineer for Product Reliability and Data Science, at Lynred, which designs high-performance infrared detector technology for probes traveling deep into space.

For Sherri Gust, founder and Principal Paleontologist at Cogstone, the ability to interact with data is key. "The interactivity is one of my favorite things about JMP. You can say, 'I'd like to explore that more and then do this,'" said Gust, who is conducting research on Ice Age fossils at Rancho La Brea in California.

"Our customers can explore and understand their data even more fully with JMP 15," said John Sall, co-founder and Executive Vice President of SAS and head of SAS' JMP business unit. "And they get instant graphical gratification with new visualization enhancements." Sall marks the launches and 30^th anniversary of JMP with his keynote speech "Import. Understand. Communicate" at analytics conference Discovery Summit Tucson this week.

What other customers say about JMP^® and JMP^® Pro

"The Functional Data Explorer platform has potential to significantly change the way we look at designing new products."
– Dan Fortune, Six Sigma Black Belt, Hexion

"The PDF Import Wizard is breathtaking! I have complicated scanned PDFs with many tables, and the ability to manually select tables is just awesome!"
– John Madden, Associate Professor of Pathology, Duke University

"I could see the distribution of the data immediately in the header of the data table… users will find it powerful because they can check the structure of new data quickly and easily."
– Seonjin Kim, Senior Scientist, Samsung BioLogics

"JMP is what has helped us be able to see the big picture more clearly and in real time."
– Tyler Wise, Project Analyst for Global Business Services, Diebold Nixdorf

"I've never seen any single software application as transformative to scientific learning as JMP. With JMP you start seeing patterns and relationships in your data you never thought possible. It takes the guesswork and mystery out of statistics."
– Timothy Gardner, CEO and Founder, Riffyn, Inc.

A fully functional 30-day trial of JMP is available free on the JMP website.
