I would just point out that the last posting from the iteration log was
> Iteration 8: log likelihood = -30741.084 (backed up)
indicating that -ml- most likely did not converge.
Section 3.1.3 discusses this model in more detail where an alternative (and in
my opinion superior) parameterization for sigma is given in a "Technical
Note".
