Reaction time outliers in e-prime

[David McFarlane]

ashraf,

Mich already kindly gave some specific instructions on how to use the 
filtering feature of E-DataAid.  For more information, please work 
through the the E-DataAid tutorial in the Getting Started Guide, the 
Data Handling chapter in the User's Guide, and the E-DataAid chapter 
of the Reference Guide that came with E-Prime.  While you are at it 
you should also study the E-Merge chapters in those Guides.  It is 
well worth the effort, in my experience these tools are vastly 
underutilized even though they provide enough benefit that it is 
almost worth using E-Prime for these data analysis tools alone.  They 
still will not do statistical hypothesis testing or more complicated 
data manipulation for you, but with a little effort these tools can 
*greatly* simplify the early stages of data analysis.
