+<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>
