refitML: Refit a Model by Maximum Likelihood Criterion

In lme4: Linear Mixed-Effects Models using 'Eigen' and S4

Refit a Model by Maximum Likelihood Criterion

Description

Refit a (merMod) model using the maximum likelihood criterion.

Usage

refitML(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'merMod'
 refitML(x, optimizer = "bobyqa", ...)

Arguments

x	a fitted model, usually of class "lmerMod", to be refit according to the maximum likelihood criterion.
...	optional additional parameters. None are used at present.
optimizer	a string indicating the optimizer to be used.

Details

This function is primarily used to get a maximum likelihood fit of a linear mixed-effects model for an anova comparison.

Value

an object like x but fit by maximum likelihood
