Finding Missing Data in SQL Tables: A Step-by-Step Solution for Power BI Users
Finding Missing Elements in a SQL Table In this article, we will explore how to find missing elements in a SQL table. The scenario presented involves a third person adding data to a SQL database on a daily basis. Each line of data represents a different result and is added to one of the tables. However, sometimes, a line may not be inserted due to human error. We need to create an SQL query that can identify which lines were missing for a specific day and shift.

Understanding Outliers in Reaction Time Data: Challenges and Alternative Approaches for Accurate Analysis
Understanding the Problem and Context The problem presented involves analyzing response time (RT) data from experiments, where each person completes a certain number of trials of various trial types. The goal is to create an outlier function that applies a standard deviation cutoff dependent on the number of trials analyzed. This approach is based on Van Selst and Jolicoeur’s 1994 method. The context of this problem is in the field of psychology, specifically in the study of reaction time tasks.
