Repeatability for time-to-event data

It is common in animal behavior and cognition research to evaluate consistent individual differences (repeatability) in performance measured as the time to accomplish some event (latency to do a behavior or the number of trials to meet a pre-set criterion). Some individuals may never do the target behavior or meet the criterion and failing to account for the right-censored nature of these data is potentially problematic. Survival analyses explicitly account for censored data but there is currently no method for using this technique to quantify repeatability. Through a collaboration funded by the SQuID fellowship, we address this gap in our ability to statistically quantify individual differences in animal behavior.
