Okay. Sure, I agree with Matt. But I don't think that this data can be broken into different shells....otherwise I do not believe that the model would fail when the entire data range is optimized together.
There could be two reasons that the model fails. Either there are correlations that were artificially broken by fitting the r-ranges separately or there is some data that is not accounted for in the model. I guess I should only talk for myself. "I do not generally accept your fitting method to be the best". I did say BEST...sometimes best is not an option.
