Table 5.

Segmentations of series of mean temperatures during the HA period using piecewise constant models (2 or 1 segment when the 2-segment model was irrelevant): recording period, change-point instant and amplitude, global standard deviation, optimal segmentation posterior probability, model posterior probability, mBIC model, correlation coefficients between flowering date (BBCH 61 stage for all locations except Conthey–BBCH 65 stage) and mean temperature during the HA period (**significant at 1% level; *significant at 5% level; n.s., non-significant).

In the model posterior probability column, an asterisk indicates that the model is the one given by mBIC. If this is not the case, the model given by mBIC is indicated in the next column (mBIC model). We analyzed the mean temperatures during the HA period over the range of years corresponding to the flowering dates and in certain cases (Nîmes, Gembloux, Ain Taoujdate, Sao Joaquim, Caçador) over an extended range of years.

Gembloux (1964–2013): Posterior probability of 0.29 for 1989 but of 0.27 for 1988.
