I'm using timelion to plot the average duration of events over time.  
I want to be able to show the average duration of outliers events by filtering values using the standard deviation value.  
I would like to present the data in two ways:

1. Table with all the events with duration larger than 2 times the standard deviation.
2. Same graph as the one above, but with the average duration of only the outliers events.

Is it possible? (not specifically in timelion)
