The Basics

There are four extension nodes that run JMP platforms and display results in SAS Enterprise Miner.
  • JMP Boosted Tree — runs the Boosted Tree option of the JMP Partition platform to produce a gradient boosting model. This node requires JMP Pro.
  • JMP Bootstrap Forest — runs the Bootstrap Forest option of the JMP Partition platform. Bootstrap forests are a variation of random forests, a special type of bagging where predictors are selected at random for each split. This node requires JMP Pro.
  • JMP Data Exploration — opens a SAS Enterprise Miner data set and runs the JMP Graph Builder. By default, it displays a graph of the distribution of each target. But, you can interactively adjust the graphs to show, for example, bivariate relationships between targets and predictors. Or, you can create a new graph or analysis within JMP. For large data sets, you can specify that the JMP Data Exploration node should use a sample of the input data set.
  • JMP Neural — runs the JMP Neural platform, which produces a neural network model. The node has a built-in gradient boosting option. Specify a positive value for Component Models to use boosting. This node requires JMP Pro.
All nodes are compatible with SAS Enterprise Miner data partitions, but only the modeling nodes actually honor partitions. The Data Exploration node displays unpartitioned results by default. The JMP Neural node honors the SAS Enterprise Miner partition, but if you disable partitioning, JMP will always perform holdback or K-fold validation, determined by the user setting in Fitting Options.
