Predicted values and residuals of the climate model. The climate model is implemented using the phyllochron estimates with the best model selected among the parametric and complete models. Each plot corresponds to a year and each color to a genotype. Estimates of \((\mu _{y,\,lsg,\,f})\) as a function of leaf rank are shown in row 1; Rows 2 and 4 show the predicted values of \({\widehat{\mu }}_{y,\,lsg,\,f}\) with the climate model (3 and 4) in a cross-validation framework, for the unweighted and weighted procedure respectively. Rows 3 and 5 shows the residuals of the prediction i.e. the difference between estimate and prediction curves
