transform RTs

you might to do something like

library(SuppDists)
t = runif(100, 100, 500) # original RT
t_IG = qinvGauss(ecdf(t)(t)-0.5/length(t), 1, 16)
plot(density(t_IG))

but what is the purpose of it? Usually reaction times are thought to
follow a certain kind of distribution (e.g. an inverse Gaussian 
distribution).

Hello,

I'm trying to transform reaction times which are not normally distributed
to an ex gaussian or an
inverse gaussian distribution, but I don't really know how to use the
exGAUS() function.

Can someone show me a script in which data has been transformed?

Thanks in advance

k
