<p>First, we check the DFOP model with the two-component error model and
random effects for all degradation parameters.</p>

<p>We see that not all variability parameters are identifiable. The
<code>illparms</code> function tells us that the confidence interval for
the standard deviation of ‘log_k2’ includes zero. We check this
assessment using multiple runs with different starting values.</p>

<p>This confirms that the variance of k2 is the most problematic
parameter, so we reduce the parameter distribution model by removing the
intersoil variability for k2.</p>

<p>The results confirm that all remaining parameters can be determined

<p>We can also analyse the log-likelihoods obtained in the multiple

<p>The reduced model results in lower AIC and BIC values, so it is
clearly preferable. Using multiple starting values gives a large
improvement in case of the full model, because it is less well-defined,
which impedes convergence. For the reduced model, using multiple
starting values only results in a small improvement of the model
fit.</p>
