logLik.lme Log-Likelihood of an lme Object Description If REML=FALSE, returns the log-likelihood value of the linear mixed-effects model represented by object evaluated at the estimated coefficients; else, the restricted log-likelihood evaluated at the estimated coefficients is returned.  Usage 
## S3 method for class 'lme'
logLik(object, REML, ...)
 Arguments  
object  an object inheriting from class "lme", representing a fitted linear mixed-effects model. 
 
REML  an optional logical value. If TRUE the restricted log-likelihood is returned, else, if FALSE, the log-likelihood is returned. Defaults to the method of estimation used, that is TRUE if and only object was fitted with method =
     "REML" (the default for these fitting functions) .  
 
...  some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method. 
  Value the (restricted) log-likelihood of the model represented by object evaluated at the estimated coefficients.  Author(s) José Pinheiro and Douglas Bates References Harville, D.A.
