In behavioural biology and animal personality, we constantly need to assess the #repeatability of temporal data (latency time for change of state) typically analysed with survival model (Cox model). Shinichi Nakagawa and colleagues have published an ICC-based method for estimating this repeatability. Many thanks to them for this very clear, user-friendly and long-awaited article.
