[Erppcatoolkit-support] EP Toolkit 2.997 released

[Joseph D. <jd...@ma...>]

EP Toolkit version 2.997 has been released:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/

This release focused on overhauling the tutorial by using a new N400 
dataset that should provide a better example and that focuses on what a 
standard analysis stream should look like. From a tutorial point of 
view, the most relevant paragraphs have been highlighted in blue font. 
While updating the text, I made a lot of bug fixes and long-deferred 
updates.  A prominent change is the addition of virtual grand average 
subjects and cells that are internally generated when needed.  This 
means changes to the constituents, such as dropping a bad subject, is 
automatically reflected in the virtual grant averages. Aside from being 
handy, this allows the EP Toolkit to properly provide the trimmed 
average waveforms corresponding to the trimmed means of the robust 
statistics. This release is intended to provide a stable version upon 
which to build the 3.0 release.

1) Added option to save channel coordinate files in .sfp format to Save 
CED button in Channels pane of Edit function.
2) Add Channels in Edit function can now add an empty channel if none 
are selected to combine.
3) Can now change a normal channel to a fiducial or vice-versa using the 
Channels pane of the Edit function.
4) Fixed Cousineau-Morey CI calculation including the full eight color 
list even when only four colors are visible.

cells, as in difference waves.

View>Topos function.

than the minimum factor variance criterion.

to the History tab.

27) Fixed crash in View>Waves when plotting sampTest results and colors 
are non-consecutive.
28) Added color picker to View color preferences.
29) Fixed crash when switching Save function to convert mode.
30) Popup menus of spec values in Segment function are now 
alphabetically sorted.
31) No longer presenting abort dialog for each figure during 
preprocessing runs.
32) In Edit function, may now select subjects via QC and Specs panes.
33) Now handles subject specs in same way as trial specs, plus also 
generating summary string for gender/sex.
34) Fixed crash in View>Waves when colors are non-consecutive.
35) In View>Waves, font-size setting now controls scale graph labels as 
well.
36) In View>Waves, fixed bands options not working for averaged data 
when anything like noise or SD were dropped during averaging.
37) In View>Topos, fixed rereference context menu option not marking 
zero voltage line correctly.

results are displayed in isolation without waveforms.
44) For ANOVA outputs, fixed outlier plots for between group effects 
displaying same cell for all levels.
45) Fixed regional channels computation not handling NaN data points 
correctly, sometimes resulting in blank waveforms.
46) Fixed ANOVA adds not computing which subjects to include correctly.
47) Fixed ANOVA adds not generating trimmed average waveforms if no 
between group factors.
48) Fixed list of subjects going into a grand average’s variance not 
being updated when reordering the list of subjects.
49) Fixed grand averaging sometimes not correctly computing averaged 
subject specs correctly.
50) Fixed grand averaging sometimes not computing averaged task specs.
51) Fixed crash in combining cells or subjects when non-consecutive.

interaction is significant.
63) In the View Topos function, the topos in the first row can now be 
averaged over a time points and/or Hz window.
