JMP® 18 for Windows
Accessibility Conformance Report- Revision Date: June 14, 2024
- Contact: accessibility@sas.com
- VPAT version: 2.4
JMP® (hereafter ‘the software’) dynamically links statistics with graphics to interactively explore, understand, and visualize data. The software provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools as well as Design of Experiments and Statistical Quality Control in a single package.
This document covers JMP®, JMP Pro, and JMP Clinical.
The software was not tested against WCAG AAA or WCAG 2.1 success criteria.
Software produces user facing output. This document covers both the output, and the user interface used to create that output.
Software is not part of a closed system.
The software is also available on MacOS. See the JMP for MacOS VPAT for more information.
