How to use MATLAB to fit the ex-Gaussian and other probability functions to a distribution of response times

This article discusses how to characterize response time (RT) frequency distributions in terms of probability functions and how to implement the necessary analysis tools using MATLAB. The first part of the paper discusses the general principles of maximum likelihood estimation. A detailed implementa...
