Has anyone analyzed intra- and inter-individual consistency in task order (i.e., repeatability)? I have repeated measures of multiple individuals and would like to see if a consistent action sequence emerges on an individual and/or group level.
I have a small sample size (15) and unequal repeated measures (ranging one to 5). The response is sequence of events (i.e., the order in which they solve 8 tasks). I'm interested in whether individuals are consistent in their sequence of events (i.e., solution order) across trials (repeatability) and if there are group level sequence patterns.
Thanks!
Levensthein distance could be what you need. RFor that you have to assign formal codes to your events, using single letters. It measures the difference between any two sequences by the minimum number of edits (removals, moves, insertions) it takes to convert one in the other.

Distance: 5
