#' Launch a shiny app to explore your merMod interactively
#'
#' \code{shinyMer} launches a shiny app that allows you to interactively
#' explore an estimated merMod using functions from \code{merTools}.
#'
#' @param merMod An object of class "merMod".
#'
#' @param simData A data.frame to make predictions from (optional). If
#'   NULL, then the user can only make predictions using the data in
#'   the frame slot of the merMod object.
#'
#' @param pos The position of the environment to export function arguments to.
#' Defaults to 1, the global environment, to allow shiny to run.
#'
#' @return A shiny app
