Better together: Extending JMP® with open‐source software

JMP is commercial software designed for interactive data analysis and exploration. JMP's high‐level, visual interface makes it an outstanding tool for teaching best practices, methods and model building techniques. JMP is also designed for extensibility, with features that allow the embedding of and deployment to open‐source packages and environments. In this paper, we will explore use cases that illustrate how JMP users can take advantage of the broad support and rapid pace of change of open‐source software while still benefiting from JMP's streamlined interface and robust capabilities.
