Analyses of residuals between VLBI observations and combinations of nutation series show that the MHB 2000 nonrigid-Earth nutation model applied to the REN 2000 rigid-Earth model results in the best fit, and that amplitudes of any possible periodic terms remaining in the observed corrections to the MHB2000 theory could be expected to be less than 0.1 mas.
