I've used JMP 3.2 mainly for survival analysis,
very recently upgraded to JMP 4,
performance degradation of the survival module was
very disturbing.
File 162541 records, stratification variable 6 levels,
Kaplan-Meier procedure (univariate analysis),
display separately one graph for each of the levels.
JMP 3.2:
Run procedure Summary table = 13 seconds
Click to turn By_mode ON = 18 seconds (my eyes aren't very good)
Run procedure Survival, from start click on command to
final display = 5 seconds
Total time required by JMP 3.2 = 36 seconds.
JMP 4:
Did not require to run Summary table, less mouse clicks.
>From start selecting Survival to final display
total time required by JMP 4 = 21 minutes.
I haven't looked at other procedures.
I've no experience of Minitab.
