Refit a model by maximum likelihood criterion

Refit a model using the maximum likelihood criterion

  refitML(x, ...)

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

`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.

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

an object like x but fit by maximum likelihood
