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

optional additional parameters. None are used at present.
a string indicating the optimizer to be used.
an object like x
but fit by maximum likelihood
This function is primarily used to get a maximum likelihood fit of a
linear mixed-effects model for an anova
comparison.

and update.merMod
for more
extensive refitting.
