Notes.

^(a)

The start times and durations are determined from Bayesian block segmentations.

^(b)

The local average fluxes in 60 MeV–600 MeV within the durations. In view of a broad variety of uncertainties, we adopt the unweighted means (instead of the error-weighted means plotted in Fig. 5) for unbiased calculations.

^(c)

Halving times of the exponential decay term. The upper limits are at a 95% confidence level.

^(d)

Doubling times of the exponential growth term. The upper limits are at a 95% confidence level.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
