Working thesis:
Bayesian modelling of grape phenology.
Grapevine phenology is heavily influenced by environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and varying levels of precipitation yearly. Accurate predictions are always vital in managing vineyards effectively and boosting overall grape quality. Traditionally, phenological data (such as data on proportion of open flowers, budburst timing, veraison) have been gathered manually by humans. However technological advancements offer the potential for faster, more accurate and more efficient data collection through sensors, drones, and automated weather stations.
This project applies Bayesian Statistical modelling (specifically, mixed- effects generalized linear models (GLMMs) to:

By integrating Bayesian methods, this project will provide novel models reconciling human observation with data obtained from modern technology, flexible decision-making tools prioritizing data collection methods on predictive performances and create a framework for the adaptation in vineyards, balancing precision, and feasibility.
