Abstract
The prediction profiler as it is now called in the statistical software, JMP, was introduced at a talk with discussion entitled, “An Interactive Graph for Exploring Multidimensional Response Surfaces.” The talk was part of a session at the Joint Statistics Meetings in Atlanta, Georgia in 1991. The original intent of the plot was to provide a graph to display the fitted response surface from a designed experiment even if that experiment had many responses and more than two factors. In the last 30 years, however, the prediction profile plot has transcended its original use in displaying the results of response surface experiments. It has shown its utility in displaying the prediction functions coming from classification or regression trees or neural nets among other modern analytical tools for the study of observational data. There are also pedagogical uses of the plot for developing intuition about mathematical functions having multiple inputs. This article provides a detailed description of the plot and examples of its various uses.
