<p>For this example, we use the Green Leaf Index (GLI) derived from UAV
imagery to model plant emergence, canopy closure, and senescence. The
parameters we are interested in include:</p>
<ul>
<li>t1: Emergence time</li>
<li>t2: Canopy closure time</li>
<li>t3: Senescence onset</li>
</ul>
<p>Our expectation is that <span class="math inline">\(0 &lt; t1 &lt; t2
&lt; t3\)</span>. We will apply constraints to ensure this relationship
hold.</p>
