What do you mean by the "estimates were very bad"? In nearly 40 years of working with optimization, I've seen badly set-up functions cause troubles, I've seen multiple minima situations, I've seen comparisons of results from one data set to the estimates for another, and I've seen optimization pro

My guess is that we are being affected by FAQ 7.31 (good old floating point numbers). The test 'age %in% 5:50' might be affected by round off. Something like the following might be better: age < 5 | (abs(age - round(age)) < 0.001) This should give TRUE for all ages that are 'close' to the year.
