  1. Mean repeatability between the first and second measurements by the same user (first column "One user"), and mean repeatability between the measurements of a user versus the measurements of another user (second column "Two users"). The repeatability was measured as a Model II oneway ANOVA on repeated measures, where R is provided by the ratio of the between-individual variance and the total variance (module VAR of the CLIC package). stdev, standard deviation. The test was performed on the RW, and the average R over the first five RW are presented. The relatively high between-users repeatability in Aedes aegypti did not prevent a visible "user effect" on the Procrustes distances estimations (See Figure 1)
