Synopsis

This paper introduces statistical methods suitable for the analysis of response, survival or failure times and, in particular, latencies measured in experiments on the speed of recall of memories. The discussion includes the use of simple descriptive statistics, as well as an explanation of the role of linear-logistic and log-linear models.
