The combineUncertainty uses greenProcess to fit all available double logistic equations in the phenopix package and extracts thresholds with all available methods. Then uncertainties can be combined and returned by using summarizePhases and plotted with plotSum. See greenProcess.

1	summarizePhases(list, quantiles=c(0.25, 0.75), across.methods=FALSE)

`list`	An object in output from `combineUncertainty`
`quantiles`	The envelope used for the uncertainty
`across.methods`	If TRUE, gu and klosterman phenophase methods are combined in a single phenophase estimation, and the same happens for derivatives and trs.

This function uses greenProcess to fit all available double logistic equations in the phenopix package and extracts thresholds with all available methods. Then uncertainties can be combined and returned by using summarizePhases and plotted with plotSum. See greenProcess, summarizePhases, plotSum. This function uses a modellistic approach to combine all uncertainties from all available phenopix fittings, as to get an ensemble of phases with different methods, without necessarily choosing any of them.

A named list with dataframes for each phenophase method with all replication for each of the included fitting methods. These data can then be combined with the companion functions summarizePhases and plotSum. See examples for details.
