Refit a (merMod) model using the maximum likelihood criterion.
refitML(x, ...)
# S3 method for merMod
refitML (x, optimizer = "bobyqa", ...)an object like x but fit by maximum likelihood
a fitted model, usually of class
"lmerMod", to be refit according to the maximum
likelihood criterion.
optional additional parameters. None are used at present.
a string indicating the optimizer to be used.
This function is primarily used to get a maximum likelihood fit of a
linear mixed-effects model for an anova comparison.
refit and update.merMod for more
extensive refitting.
