Significant Figures Continuation

First, of all sorry about the last email, it somehow got sent before I could complete it. Hi, while running a KOKA model I came across an observation and would greatly appreciate it if someone helps me understand it. When using a SIG=3, the model converges, and provides lower and upper CI bounds. All the CI bounds are positive except Q and the CV% of all parameters are within 20 % (except Q). This suggests (correct me if I am wrong) that the data might not be rich enough for the model to calculate a precise value for Q so it gives a wider range? Now when I change the SIG=3 to SIG=4, the model converges but the CV% are very high and more importantly I get negative lower bounds for all the parameters. What does this suggest, that the model cannot get precise estimates now at the level of significance (of numbers) requested? Please advise.
