JMP Software
JMP, a statistical software package from SAS, is designed for dynamic data visualization. It allows study teams to obtain descriptive statistics and perform simple data analysis. There are two levels of JMP professional development courses, with each offered to Mayo Clinic investigators and staff members four times a year.
For those who need personalized assistance, the CTSA Service Center also offers one-on-one statistical and epidemiological consultations.
JMP I: Introduction to JMP for Research
This introductory JMP class is for people who have very little or no experience with JMP. The class focuses on getting started with the software and discusses tools to help manage data and prepare for analysis. All participants are expected to be familiar with the Windows operating system.
Specific topics covered include creating and importing data files; performing basic data management tasks, such as sort, subset and merge; using formulas to create new variables; and calculating descriptive statistics, such as mean, standard deviation and proportion.
CME: College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, designates this educational activity for a maximum of three AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Presenter: Ross A. Dierkhising, a master's-level biostatistician who also consults through the CTSA's Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design (BERD) Resource

JMP II: Using JMP to Apply Statistical Methods Commonly Used in Research
This advanced class teaches students how to apply a wide range of statistical methods using JMP software. Participants in this course are expected to have completed JMP I or have equivalent knowledge or experience with JMP.
Specific statistical procedures discussed include data distributions and summary statistics; two-sample t-tests and Wilcoxon rank sum tests; paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed rank tests; chi-square tests and Fisher's exact tests; regression and correlation; logistic regression and survival analysis, including Kaplan-Meier estimation; log-rank tests; and Cox proportional hazards regression.
CME: College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, designates this educational activity for a maximum of four AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
